There seems to be some sort of diode on EasySolar 1600 each MC4 input connectors + terminal. Anywhere any specs, what kind of diode there is? If there is a diode, I dont need any separate diodes on PV strings, evem when panels facing different directions?
Just open up the front plate ot the EasySolar and you will see all negative and all positive are joint together in the same terminal.
Yes inside, but the connector itself + terminals each have diode markings… you see a little of that marking on my photo? not mentioned by any manuals I have read…
No I can't se any diode symbol. Can you make a picture of what you mean?
This is how a MC4 plug looks like there is no space for a diode.
There are special plugs available but they are much bigger.
google for "mc4 solar connector diode" and you'll see.
What does that - STOP! - markings and the —) symbols mean?
