High voltage and low amps output !
one of my sets of panels is putting out higher voltage, 130v, and lower amps, 9amps than the others, 102v and about 18 amps in full sun with an output of 560 watts vs about 1800 on the others. 130v is what all of them put out 1st thing in the morning. What’s the easiest way to test it? I’ve connected it to 2 different controllers and it’s about the same. I know it’s probably a stupid simple question

It’s not a stupid question at all. The difference in voltage and amperage between your solar panels can indicate a potential issue. Here are a few suggestions for testing your solar panels:
Use a multimeter: A multimeter can measure both the voltage and amperage of your solar panels. You can use it to compare the output of the panel in question with the other panels to see if there is a significant difference.
Check the wiring: Make sure the wiring connections between the solar panel and the controller are tight and secure. Loose connections can cause voltage drops and affect the output.
Test under different conditions: Try testing the panel under different conditions, such as shading or during different times of the day, to see if the output changes significantly.
If the issue persists and you are unable to identify the cause, it may be best to contact a professional for assistance.
