Cracked or Damaged Solar Panel? Troubleshooter

A damaged panel can still be live. Don't touch it.

Panels make voltage whenever light hits them, even when damaged. Work through one question at a time. You can go back or start over whenever you like.

Safety: this troubleshooter is general information. Follow the maker's manuals. Any work on 240V AC wiring, the switchboard, or inside an inverter, isolator or battery cabinet must be done by a licensed electrician or your installer.
