What are you doing to maximize your charging capabilities with a Yeti Pro 4000?
How many solar panels and connections cables is everyone using to get the fastest charging solutions?

I'm using two Renogy 450w panels (Vmp 34.67v)
There are a lot of factors that affect the amount of power you draw in. If it's a 100% clear day, it's mid-day, the sun is directly overhead (not the case right now in Oregon) and your panels are pointed directly at the sun, you should be getting close to their max output. If you have them wired parallel, so the voltage is lower, you might be seeing some voltage drop as well (wire them in series, use the high voltage input, and hopefully you'll avoid most of this issue).
For me right now, it's noon (so the sun is as high as it's going to get, and STILL it's only at 20º above the horizon). My panels are mounted flat on my camper roof, so if I'm lucky I'm going to pull in 300w.

I'm using 900w of solar on my camper roof into the high-voltage input, plus 200w ground deploy solar when needed into the low voltage input.

What are you using to get the 900w on the camper roof? I am using (3) 300w Ranger briefcase panels and can only seem to get around 550w total input. How much are you getting? thank you, for the response.

Thanks for the information. Very helpful.
