Hi.
I'm brand new here.
I live in NYC - not exactly a hotspot for alternate energy awareness, despite it's growing popularity across across the Hudson in NJ.
For me, right now, it's a 'hobby.' I live in an apartment, but still want to learn the basics with 'hands on.'
I've recently bought Renogy panels that I'm looking to use within a portable set-up.
I hope to have this forum as help in my 'learn-as-I-go' journey.
My main questions for now:
1) Using blocking diodes within a multi-panel system - more specifically, where in the schematic would they be of the best use?
2) Physically protecting the panels - specifically, how much of an efficiency decrease would the presence of any of the different types of chicken wire cause the panels?
I hope to hear from others here.
Thanks.
