    Still no voltage...wiring wrong?

    Full sun has passed as it is almost 6 here but I measured 3 panels. I set my multimeter to 200v and got two panels to read 33 and one panel 28. Does it sound like those three panels are functional? Thank you for the help

    Still no voltage...wiring wrong?

    So I check each panel by putting the meter on and in the male and female leads from the panel..what approximate number should I see if working?

    Still no voltage...wiring wrong?

    Not sure if right but If I turn my meter to 2V = .251 and 20V = .20 Is that what you are looking for?
