[QUOTE="binky, post: 529738, member: 490"] ideally a multimeter with an amp clamp, so you can check ampage without your fingers in the way. Multimeter must have DC volts to be any use. Ideally you also need an irradinace meter, so you can check voltages against strength of sunshine and the appropiate dtata sheet. I used to do this for every panel 10 years ago, but gave up on it about 9 years ago, panels eiither work or they don't. [/QUOTE]
