OK guys, my neighbor has a mix of 2nd and 3rd hand panels at his place and not a one of them has a data sticker or model number on it. I know I can stick it in the sun and throw on a DVM to get an idea of the VoC which will tell me the nominal voltage (I'm thinking they're all 12v-ish, but he does eat controllers pretty regularly), but what would be the simplest way to get the max amperage to determine the wattage? Do I plug a heavy DC load into it and check it with an amp clamp to see how much it's drawing? Is there a better way?
Thanks guys!
