Solar Panel Output verse rating
I'm been watching my solar panel output the last few days. I'm currently in Palm Beach getting lots of sun. But in the middle of the day with my 5 year old 290W panel with a MPPT controller in full sun is only putting out 170-180W and I know the batteries aren't limiting it to that amount.

What are others experience in real output verse rating?
