Set it to read DC volts and touch the red meter lead to the white wire from the solar panel and the black lead to the black wire. The meter should read "18" or "+18" (Assuming your panel is putting out 18 volts, that number may be different but it does not matter). This means the white is positive and the black is negative.<br /><br />IF it reads "-18" or whatever voltage number then it means Kevin and I wired it backwards which is actually unlikely. This is not a disaster, you would just connect the black wire to the positive terminal and the white wire to the negative terminal. But like I say, this would be unlikely.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720309854271094186.post-58302865119244614432013-06-12T17:40:12.404-07:002013-06-12T17:40:12.404-07:00Hmmm, are you sure you don't want to look at h...Hmmm, are you sure you don't want to look at homes on the Isla?Contessa https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482663305121297253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720309854271094186.post-4957909865912063352013-06-12T17:28:38.307-07:002013-06-12T17:28:38.307-07:00Well hell, we work for a whole lot less than asada...Well hell, we work for a whole lot less than asada and beer... too bad Bill & I aren't down in your area. Life here in Alamo isn't too bad, but even the HEB was hectic today...
