Hi all I plugged in the system like 5 months ago but didn't notice that it was producing less than half the power it should. Using SMA 7700 sunnyboy Inverter (it's not the Inverter)
DC at the inverter reads 350v .8 Amps on one string and 350v 1.4 Amps on the other. I imagine it must be bad wiring (3 strings -12 modules each running 165 ft 8 awg) Hopefully it's the MC4 connectors i put on without a good tool at the start of each string, - odd that all 3 strings are bad- Why would that be ? Does anyone have a good troubleshooting procedure for checking Hot - Installed wires I guess for Amps. Would using a clamp meter somehow help? Thanks Len
