Help please! I thought I had a grasp of series and parallel wiring of panels.
Here's my panels. Six total panels in 3S2P.
Just three panels are wired together 3S in this group. Voltage makes sense... 118v
Amps should be around 6a to 7a in full sun. But, it is reading 18. Why is it adding the amps and adding the volts? I'm measuring on the MC4s and they are not connected to anything yet. Is this normal? Will amps show up under 8a when these are feeding into my hybrid inverter?
I'm a rookie at this new clamp multimeter so if I'm just being stupid please tell me and I'll go back to the manual and learn the dang thing.
Thanks, Tim
