I am brand new to this and just got a few used Mobil Tyco panels. The company no longer exists and I can't find any info on the web about these panels. They are about 14" X 42" and in full sun produce about 10 volts. Anyone have any info on these things?

    sorry i have no info, i am concerned that the output voltage is low.
    maybe these panels were designed as 6 volt panels to be used in series?

    Have you yet checked the short circut current in amps, while the PV's are exposed to full sunlight?
    That could give some clues. If the current looks "reasonable" and both panels output roughly the same current, they are probably good panels, designed, like James said, for 6 volts.

    with what wayne stated you can verify how the pvs are performing, but if nobody has first hand knowledge of the pvs you have then try contacting the people at tyco, for if anybody should know it's them.
