My house got hit by lightning, I don’t see evidence of panels taking a direct hit. Seven out of fifty six panels were down the next day. Tech replaced IQ7+ inverters and that didn’t fix the system so he replaced the panels with G6’s. I kept the equipment and have dug out the silicone sealant and replaced the diodes with the same part number. Panels now work and pass OC voltage test and short circuit test. What sealant should I use?
I found HB Fuller 1533 sealant and can source it for about 100 bucks a tube in the US. What do y’all recommend? Does it have to be low acidic…
Repaced with new diode;
Bad diode, still encapsulated:
3/4 of the diodes unsoldered them selfs from the base. That made the work a little easier. Each panel has three diodes.
Edit: I ordered RTV11-1P
