Our 372 came with a preinstalled solar panel and MPPT. It seems to not really underperforming based on the size (69.5x39.5) of the panel. Does anyone know what panel Allice is/was installing on the Paradigms?

Wow, the best I can get out of it is 170w and that's with a bright sunny day in Colorado with no obstructions.

Time to start trying to figure out the issue.

Might want to measure that at the panel and again at the controller. Don't trust what Renory is reporting.

I changed the controller to a Victron 150/60. That 170 was the best. Seems to be averaging 70 to 80 watts.

Get on the roof and check voltage from panels

Not sure it applies to your coach or not, BUT, there was a recall on the Solar connection at the pass thru on the roof.
Wire nuts were installed and causing connection issues and even thermal damage in some cases. The recall upfit that connection with BUTT slices as I recall.
Just something to check that could explain your low output.
