Hi,
I have a 100w panel, on the back there is the back box with wiring and two black cylinders inside that seem to act like fuses. These blew up the other day and I am wondering if anybody can tell me anything about these cylinders and if there are replacements available so I can get my panel running again.
I connected a volt meter to the two outgoing terminals (the wires going to the charger) to see what it read. It read 20V. I am not sure if this is high or low. But when I tried to connect the panel in parallel to two other 100w panels thing went poorly. The wires got very hot and there were sparks.
Any information on how these panels and cylinders work, why there seem to be three outgoing terminals inside this black box and only two wires to the charger, and any advice on if this panel is repairable would be tremendously appreciated? Are there replacement parts I could solder in place of the damaged ones?
Thank you so much in advance!! I really want to understand these systems.
