[RE-wrenches] Finding ground faults

[Darryl Thayer]

I sure do not like the way the X brand installed their charge controller, Also the code says that all strings must open if one string is faulted.  your breaker does this up to 4 strings.

From what I understand, future controllers from Outback Power will incorporate the Ground Fault detection into the controller.
