Given George's experience 3 years down the track deterioration may be a slow process, so if my friend can access the wiring to beef it up/and/or fit blocking diodes (to both panels or just the affected one?) maybe this could prevent further damage?
Certainly, we bought a box of 500 because that was the only way to get them. Drop us an email with an address and we will send you a few.

I'll get Margaret dig back through the backlog to find it, we were working on Brian's (Homeless) houseboat solar refit all week so the business bit got a tad neglected. Had the week end off, well half of Saturday and all of Sunday, to recover from all the exercise on a senior body that didn't like all the bending and kneeling etc .... I didn't fair that well either :lol:
