system resets to zero. On the next visit to the site, review the condition of the battery
since the last visit by looking at the max and min values and the number of system resets.
Ideally, the number of resets would still be zero and the max and min battery values
would be within a normal operating range. A low minimum battery 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.
