Hi all.
I'm in the process of adding a battery to my solar system.
Currently have:
2x200 watt panels wired in parallel with a pair of Y cables. Panels are a 'no name' panel from a local supplier (I'm in New Zealand) so I assume they're chinese. The spec sheet doesn't give much away apart from the usual Pmax, Vmp, Lmp and Voc etc.
1x 1000w Sun Grid Tie inverter
Battery I'm putting in is a custom built 14S32P battery using 18560 cells.
As soon as I enable "discharge" on my JK BMS, the 10A breaker from the battery trips (yes it's only 10A as it's all I have and I'd rather a small one trip if there are any initial issues, as evident from my current (pun intended) problem).
I opened the little box up under the panels when I got them as I was curious to see what was in there, and there were 3 (maybe 4, I forget) diodes. Is this the 'blocking diodes' that the internet talks about to stop the issue that I'm having?
If these are 'blown' (annoying if so as they are basically brand new panels), would this cause these issues? Or is there something else I'm missing?
Cheers!
