Kent, Does it have jumpers that would lower the current and double the voltage?Maybe unbridged and still attached? I have a dozen Solec modules that were either 12 or 24 volt nominal output.It has been a long time since I was in the J boxes but it seems like they may have looked as you are describing although there is only one J box.
