Hi
I am having problems with one of my arrays, 10 295w Canadian Solar panels in series. During the day it is producing about 340 volts and 8.5 amps and at night is is producing about 180 volts and .3 amps. I looked at my logs on solar assistance and it has been doing it every night for the last few months. It is generating power normally. I have an eg4 6000xp that it is hooked up to and I switched the array to mppt2 and the problem moved to mppt2 so that ruled out any problem with the inverter. I am thinking something is wrong with one of the solar panels but I really don't understand how they could be putting out 180 volt at night. It seems like the power would have to be coming from the inverter. This is 1 of 11 arrays and all other arrays are working correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions as what to look for?
