Hiya David,
If ever there was an argument against the upfront, per-watt incentive
in favor of a feed-in tariff, that's it!

I see a use for SolarMagic from National Semiconductor in large systems
with many parallel strings, installed by inexperienced contractors who
put some of the strings in the shade, not realizing how little you get
with minimal shading of one string in parallel strings of modules. They
Check out Tigo Energy's Module Maximizer, a similar product. They claim
that the decreased inverter cost of leaving the MPPT hardware out of the
inverter makes up for the cost of the individual module MPPT units. They
are working with Kaco to provide this special inverter.
They also have the adva
Hiya Dana,
No to all those things, but... I'm told they are about $200 a pop. Say
they increased output by a total of 5%. Seems unlikely, but say they
did. Speaking in retail, $200 represents what these days... 40 watts
or so including racking, give or take? Say you are using a 200W
module
Does anyone have any experience with these units?
Do they work with off grid lower voltages?
Do they work with all controllers?
Do they affect MPPT function positively or negatively?
Do they work well with Grid tie?
How would you gauge the increased performance?
