Testing solar panels by covering one up out of 18 panels. If the voltage drops, is the panel defective?
The panels produce 31.4 V under load 45V open circuit, 4.1 amperes under load.
I used to have a load voltage of around 271V for 18 panels in two strings of 9 in parallel. The voltage is now about ...

Push-pull output stage doesn't reach input voltage
I tried to simulate a push-pull output stage in this configuration:
Here with the closed switch:
As you can see, the output voltage is very low. I expected 3.3 V and 250 mA at the output.
Shouldn't ...
