G'day Keith, 

There could be a few reasons why this isn't outputting as many amps as it should be! It would be best to submit a warranty claim directly with Hard Korr to assess the issue and offer you some solutions. You can fill out the Hard Korr Warranty Claim Form or get in touch with us at service@snowys.com.au.

G'day Greg,

Output on a solar panel is not indicative of a warranty issue because there are so many environmental and situations variables that affect it.
Solar panel testing is done in conditions that are difficult to replicate in real life, which means in real life use case, in ideal conditions you'd expect a panel to produce 80-90% of stated max output.
In a scenario when you have all variables are reasonably controlled, eg. optimal solar conditions, ambient temp, panel set up, etc, and the panels are producing less than 80%, you'd get intouch with Hard Korr for a warranty assesment.

G'day again Greg,

Sorry for any confusion!  You'd get in contact with Hard Korr directly for an assessment, they deal with all aftersales service on warranty and technical issues - the outcome would be pending the result of that.

G'day Rod,

These are the true values - they've just up-spec'd their panels to ensure continuity with output year round, or in sub optimal conditions.
It's super common to see with panels, or in solar systems generally.
The 200W relates to the max output of the regulator, which is 15A at 13v.  The naming convention of "200W Heavy Duty Solar Mat MKII" is the same across both the regulator and non-regulator versions for continuity.
If your charge/solar controller has a greater output capacity, you'll maximise the 250W potential of the panel on its own, but only in peak solar conditions.
