The resistor load is rated at 1,000 watts. The panels can put out 800w,
so they are a pretty good match, power wise..

If I had a 16.43 ohm resistive load, that would be the prefect match for my 800w array.
115v / 16.43 ohms = 7 amps! (7a x 115v = 805 watts)..

10 ohms is just too low. It was made for the 500w tracker array..

It's not engineering, it's simple Arithmetic..
