Hi. I have a single solar panel which is rated at 250 Watts and 36V.
I want to test the maximum watts output on a clear sunny day and most info suggests that I simply attach a 10A Multimeter to the + and - output cables coming from the panel however each time I try this it simply blows the Multimeter 10A fuse.
Can anyone suggest a safer way to test the panels output.
Also I need some advice on running a 24V5A water circulation pump direct from the panel without using a battery.
I hope to use a Capacitor to overcome the extra current draw on start up and my idea is the pump would continue to run only when there is sufficient output from the panel.
Appreciate any help offered
Thanks
