@Renogy_Nerd has a point — had exactly that happen on the boat last winter, Pi thermal throttled and the flow just... stopped.

@Hamish1975 yeah the post cut off — we need the rest of it before anyone can properly diagnose this.

Spot on about measuring — I made this mistake with my first setup and it cost me. Don't just go by manufacturer specs; they're optimistic at best. What I'd add: factor in your inverter losses.

The sentence cuts off mate, but if you're consistently undershooting even accounting for the 150/60's limits, check your string voltage—if it's sagging below the MPPTs operating window, you'll...

Totally agree with this. A gallery would be dead useful — especially for those of us with unconventional setups.

The 48V setup is definitely the way to go for a space that size. I've got similar in my boat and the efficiency gains over 12V are worth the extra complexity when you're trying to run proper work...
