I finally found an old cached version of that DIY solar panel guide from 2009, and it's the only reason I didn't screw up my install
Everyone keeps linking to that newer site that replaced it, but the original had a wiring diagram that saved me $300 in fried components. Has anyone else had luck finding these old cached gems, or am I the only one still digging through Archive.org for this stuff?

Those old Archive.org captures are a lifesaver, especially for stuff like that. Karen, you say it's just a wiring diagram, but that one specific diagram probably had the exact capacitor values for the MPPT controller or something. I've had a similar thing with a 2008 ham radio antenna guide that had a balun winding diagram nobody else seems to have saved. The newer versions always skip the small details that fry your gear if you get them wrong. It's not about the treasure, it's about not setting your workshop on fire, you know?
