10.2 Checking for Ghost Maximizers

O
Written by Ollie Wells

  1. Click the Ground Reference tab under the Maximizers tab and select view to enlarge the graph.

  2. Take note of the highest and lowest values in the chart.

  3. Subtract the absolute values of the highest and lowest readings. For example: 209V and -179V → 209 - 179 = 30V.

  4. Save that number, and also save the serial number of the maximizer showing the negative voltage (e.g. PVO-70041d243ef4). You can save just the last 4 characters for efficiency.

  5. Go back to the Maximizer tab and select the Output Voltage value.

  6. Find the maximizer with the serial number you noted. Check whether its output voltage matches the number you calculated (e.g. 30V). If it does, this maximizer is a ghost maximizer.
