 A **poorly running system** is observed to deliver very little power because it isn't set up right (or is shaded, etc) and can't do any better.  Battery voltage is too low((<12.1v)) and doesn't meet needs.
-Also counterintuitively, systems with lots of panel start generating usable power so early after sunrise that they can finish bulk charging well before solar noon.  This means the user would not see the system at full power during normal circumstances.  This effect is particularly strong when the system is [[electrical:solar:overpaneling#vs_battery_bank|overpaneled]].
