    where odd branches from a tree on the W side cause large drops in output which sometimes recover.

    Is it correct that PO is the preferred option ignoring cost?

    Thanks.
    Nope,
    The preferred option there is a chainsaw, much cheaper than SE and less to go wrong!(I am having a laff in case you didn't get it)smiley-laughing014.gif

    If you have a SMA inverter it might have Global Optitrac, which seems to do pretty much what they claim it does. I have it one my Sunnyboy 4000 but had to turn it on. it is not on the 1600 inverter, unfortunately as that is where the worst shade is.
