    Thanks brother. Neat. So the more panels you have, the better, always.

    I'm having loads of fun with my teeny weeny setup. This weekend I'm installing 3 analogue ammeters. Amps from panels. Charging amps to batteries. Load amps.

    This will help me understand what is happening in real time without me having to guess.

    Cheers.

    Get these Digital Panel Meters from Mantech, I believe they are now in Port Elizabeth.
    Go for the ones with an external shunt, and the shunt direction can be for charge current, and load current.
    Just take note, there is a bad design here, do not switch the meters on with out the Shunt connected, else it damages the current measurement circuit.
    They can go up to 30V DC direct.
    In the case that you need higher voltages, and you are not scared to add a few capacitors to a module, then you can use this SMPS Module to do the meter supply directly off your source, alternatively you can use a small AC to DC PSU.
