Hello all,
Newbie day 3 here ??I’m trying to figure out why my solar panels are dead. Upon testing with multimeter, there are good readings at the panels themselves, going into the inverter but not coming out of it.
I’m not sure what to do besides maybe buy a new inverter. It was purchased last fall and hasn’t been used more than a month on the road (it’s in my camper conversion). Is there something else I should test or scrap it for a new one?
More context: when I bought the camper it worked fine. There was an arch at the negative wire, happened when I dropped it off to be painted, I assume they were inside trying to check things out. Cleaned all that up but it hasn’t been right ever since. Before it died, it would charge when plugged up to shore power but still not from the panels. I went out of the country for two weeks and unplugged it, it was dead when I got back and will not charge when plugged up.
