Red Beard, kind of you to help this customer out!
I have a small grid tied system from 2003. It "came with" my grandparents home when I bought it.
A year ago the inverter died. NONE of the solar companies I contacted were willing to send out electritians to verify it was just the inverter and that the cells were still ok... Most told me sorry, "obsolete tiny system. We use panels with micro inverters and don't want your headache"
One PCA buddy of mine is an electrician and gave it a look...but he didn't really know how to check the individual cells for shorts.
I can find an inverter online, but am hesitant to drop $2k and swap it in only to find out there are gremlins elsewhere in the system.
Could be a business out there for some electricians just learning solar and servicing these aging systems.
Cooper
