Description
From a user perspective the main things to check for is that the Panel OK message is displayed, and the power
output is in an acceptable range for the given lighting conditions and rated output power. If multiple solar
devices are connected in parallel with either Y-Adapter or daisy chained together then the measured output
power should be approximately the sum of each individual solar device and the status should read Panel OK.
