I've been to an install this morning that "isn't working properly and the company that installed it have gone out of business" 4KWp of ET's and a power one 3.6outd in the basement. pin2 was doing jack, 106v 0a 3w. Asked to have a look in the roof but on opening the loft hatch hundreds of flies came flooding out so I quickly shut it again.

It's out in the sticks surrounded by farmland and trees so I'm thinking squirrel or rats have chomped the cables and been executed as a result. That or one their kids has gone missing. I said I'd go back on Friday with a paper suit and mask to have a look and got out of there as quick as I could. On the way back I began to think there was something odd with the wiring. There were three strings, two strings fed one isolator and single into the other? Perhaps they have wired those two strings in series inside the isolator? Perhaps they haven't and it's knocked out one of the trackers?
