How do you repair the glass surface of your PV?
I guess there was a hit on 04-01-11.. The fat end of the limb must have hit the #3 panel.
Yesterday, I was doing my once a week bird poop wash down, and noticed something new..
It looked like a...

Thick Overcast 80% of the day!
Well, it was very hazy here today, but there was some power from the Canadian pair.

It was up at 60.4v (15.1v each...

Cloudy, but still seeing 757 watts!
Tested the two new panels with the 10 ohm heater load and the clamp-on Amp meter.
It was very cloudy, but all 4 panels were showing about 2.5A each.
Installed the new PV on the outrigger...

What's going on here???
It's almost noon and the clamp-on shows 7.2A into the 10 ohm heater load.
That's 518.4 watts into the load!! If the loss in this cable is 10w,?,

Hey! The sun came out!
The charger is working okay.. Just at low currents..
Here's a pic of Equalize mode. It looks like the PV can handle a 48v bank.

Wired..
Didn't get it hooked up fast enough. I think my panels are losing the sun by 2:30ish..
We should get a little sun in the AM, and I'll see how it does.. Maybe!
Wiring up the charger....
