Hi,
my life is a mess. I just installed solar panels on the roof but the rest of the system is still work in progress....
It's a long story...
According to what I know solar panels act like current pumps, so it would be better for them to short + and - together to let the current flow....
otherwise the current is flowing to the internal resistance...
Now, to minimize performance degradation I would assume a solar panel is happier with the output shorted rather than open...
If you know more than me about solar panels please leave a comment below, I would like to know if I am missing something.
Should I short the + - strings coming down the roof if I do not use the solar panels on the roof (yet)?
thanks in advance!
