How to test broken solar panels.
Leave them unused for 48 to 72 hours and then turn them on.
Note positive negative connections.
Measure solar panel amperage.
The volt reading on your multi meter should be close to or just under 60 volts.
Attach the meter to the positive and negative terminals on the solar panel and make sure the panel is properly exposed to sunlight.
When you are testing this ensure that your solar panel is getting full sunlight.
