voltage could indicate a weak charging system, a battery that is too small for the site, or bad
wiring, etc. A low battery could also cause the system to reset. System resets normally indicate a
problem with the battery voltage being too low, bad wiring, or poor power connections.
Lightening and other external factors may also cause the system to reset. A high maximum
battery voltage could indicate that the regulator is bad and that it is passing all of the energy from
the solar panel to the system. The table below summarizes the different conditions and possible
problems.
