Guys and gals Im new here and just wanted some insight on panel specs vs actual electrical output. Today i picked up some 40w panels really cheap on clearance they are rated at 17v 2.21amp and they are about 20x 27 inches. I hooked up a load to them and connected my amp meter in series and i only get about 250 milliamps out of each one .25 amps. Voltage output is good sometimes peaking at 19.4v Im not using any kind of voltage regulator just the panel straight up. Do you think there is something wrong with them if they are rated at 2.21amp yet the meter only reads .25 amps flowing?
Thanks looking forward to your advice this is the first step in off grid living for me.
Please post your question only in one place. I have written you an answer at the other thread.
