I have recently upgraded my solar setup. One reason was I forgot my old panel on the roof and it flew off and a prius ran over it. I bought a meter to see if it was still putting any power out and found three of the four panels dead. I did a little more research before buying the identical panel and found a 100w that had great ratings. My old panel was a120w that I doubt put out 70w. With just one panel working, I could only get 14w, but to be fair, it may have been damaged too.
So bought this off of amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FH85FW9/?tag=wranglerorg-20
I did some tests before doing the connectors and hardwire to find it could put out the rated watts!
Note the voltage is in the 20's, this is due to the meter being on the output of the panel, not the MPPT controller. I will test the other side to make sure the volts are dropped to 14ish and that the amps are still up.
Very happy with the panel. Any input or info on systems in use out there?
