Oops ! I should have read that closer, Jay.
Or, send them back to Evergreen for replacement of course.
Nevermind !

I'm not familiar how Evergreen implements their diodes, but if
they're just plain old diodes that are "open", you could bypass each
module with an external diode.
Otherwise, I would just make sure the modules with defective diodes
are the ones least likely to be shaded, if possible.
If the diodes were shorted and the modules were going to be junked
otherwise, I would try to "burn out" and open up the shorted diodes
with a high current, voltage limited pulse from a battery or something.

Hi All,
I"ve got two evergreen 170 watt panels with bad bypass diodes in them.
In service for under 2 months.
Only odd thing is that this is a positive ground system.
They are running at 3 in series for a 48v system.
Anybody else have problems with them?
thanks
