it was 79ish it was about 267 watts, as it went above 80v the wattage started to drop.

Okay, I see what you are saying with me keeping the power constant and not the current in my posts like I should be.
If his panel were producing 20 volts and 177 watts, it would be 91% efficient. That would be more inline with the tag on the panel.
But the 2 together are only producing the 177 watts.
So now there are 2 broad possibilities, well actually 3.
Either the panels aren't generating the power properly eg dirty, misaligned, very old etc.
Or the power is being lost somewhere eg very long cables, cables too small.
Or possibly measurement error eg measuring at the wrong time of day, measurement averaged instead of instantaneous, etc.
No, actually none of those are a possibility,
I'm experimenting with different - and hopefully more effective - ways to drill accurately into roundwood parts.
