As on my last posting regarding adding a further solar panel,, I have now received the portable panel rated at 100watts, this afternoon It was nice and sunny, so, I thought I would use my voltage meter to see what the output is so put the panel in full sun.
.
Upon connecting the meter to the MC4 connectors the voltage shown for around a second was just over 19 volts, it then reduced to just over 0.1v. It would not increase voltage until I removed the positive probe on meter then replacing it.
.
The panel was in full sun, not connected to my Victron, I cannot understand why this happened, unless the panel if faulty.
.
Help please![Grinning face :grinning: 😀](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)
