[QUOTE="binky, post: 544194, member: 490"] Have a look at how thin the busbar wires are, I would say you have 2 chances of making that work, plus you would have to cut through the backsheet and try to reseal it. The cells are usually arranged in 6 rows across the panel, with 2 rows per circuit, making 3 circuits, hence you have 3 bypass diodes in the junction box. You would be better off disconnecting the bypass diodes and working out which 2 circuits are good, and reconnecting to suite, leaving the duff circuit out. You'll end up with a panel that's probably still more powerful than most fitted to campervans. [/QUOTE]
