Thanks again Randy.....there are 21 optimizers (each panel must require one, as
there are 21 panels)...I photocopied your article to give to the installer, he
said he’d check with his engineer....he did mention this is the “new” style, I
think he called it HD Wave ? Should know within a few weeks, right now they are
waiting on the local electric coop, they need to change out a transformer first
before going live....
