They also have the advantage of individual data collection so you know which module is doing what.
Out of all I saw at Intersol, these products impressed me the most.
Of course, both of these products may be too young to count on.

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. 5% = 10W. Hmmmmm. I can envision some tight spots where that might pencil, but not many.

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?

I'd put my money on solar energy I hope we don't have to wait 'til oil and coal run out before we tackle that.
