I mentioned recently that I thought my 80 watt panel was U/S.
Macca suggested to throw it on the roof and power my outside lights with it.
I tried it on my battery that powers my car radio sound system out the back
and after one night it looked like a few volts had leaked back out the panel
as the meter was on 10 volts with no radio going.
So just before I thought Id check the panel before the reg and found I was putting out 19 plus volts
Horay.
This leads me to believe the reg has shite its self, I have had this Smart reg 8 from Piranha
since about '94.
Question is IMO the panel is ok now what type of reg to use, just a 20/50amp one from Jaycar ??

WoW how prices have come down I brought that reg for $100 back in '94 and that was with a discount from Alan
