This panel was damaged last year by me (I dropped it). I tie in these flat mounted panels in the summertime for more power (about 900w more) I guess I never noticed this panel getting hot...and during this video, it wasn't even sunny. So, not wise to run it. This 12v (200w) cracked panel is being replaced with a 24v (200w) Newpowa mono solar panel.
I discovered the panel hot spots while shimming up the Superstrut racking with square washers. I got about 3.5-deg tilt toward the sun with the big Q-cell panel and about 7.5-deg more tilt toward the sun with the two 200-watt panels. Before, they were both angled 1.9-degree AWAY from the sun. Now, rainwater and soap-water (cleaning them) will run off better along with a pinch more power.

Bossy comments (like, "You need to do this or that") will likely be laughed off and deleted. Hitting the "thumbs down" is actually good for my viewership...but, if you really don't like me, a video, content, etc - don't watch it. Why not just grow a pair and actually leave a comment if your butt hurts? Better yet, create your own KZfaq channel/content and see how that goes for ya. Biblical quotes/preaching/condescending or sanctimonious remarks...not allowed here. Take your nasty crudeness (those Mr or Mrs High & Mighty superiority complexes), drama-filled lifestyle, and fester on someone else's channel.

Offenses I deem inappropriate will be reported to the proper agencies...and action will be taken (guaranteed!). Don't push your luck. Bottom line, being nice/respectful/positive will go a LONG way here. Sharing DIY ideas/helping others with their builds/saving money/having fun/sparking interest with your own DIY creations is what this Channel is all about. Lastly, this is my backyard/channel...like it or leave it. There are no "bad" videos out there (you can actually learn a lot from others who do things differently or are learning). So, have FUN while your here, learn something, and make the world a better place.
