Yes that’s the main solar array. Will move.
To the side of that terminal is a yellow wire connecting to it. You can see it going under the black one. Will that be monitoring the house bank?

Yes indeed. ThanksWhat i said in post #16
The cables on the shunt look to be correct. You often get minor differences between different monitors and gauges, various causes, cables runs, where they are connected, accuracy of gauge etc. You could check which is the closest to accurate by taking some measurements with a multimeter.So… it’s working! One more question.
The solar controller is reading a different voltage to the battery monitor when everything is at rest.
I switch off everything on the boat and turn off the load from the solar controller. Give it time to settle and the monitor says around 12.55v whereas the solar controller says 12.65.
Is this likely because of an insufficient cable to the monitor giving a small voltage drop or is it more likely something else such as a wrongly placed cable on the shunt?
