solar pop quiz: achieving Absorption voltage

Given the following information:

  • mppt controller
  • panels rated Vmp = 36v (parallel)
  • measured panel voltage (Vpanel) every 4 minutes

at what time (roughly) did the system reach Absorption voltage (Vabs)?

TimeVpanel
091236.37v
091635.21v
092036.16v
092436.57v
092836.82v
093236.30v
093635.67v
094035.97v
094437.14v
094837.89v
095238.09v
