Solar Panels, Shade Losses..solutions?

Ahoy Neelie.
It is a tracer, EPSolar MPPT tarcker solar regulator and smart battery charger. Bought it from china via ebay.

It is reverse polarity protected and short circuit protected, withstands big shorts and sparks and connecting up the wrong way. Seems the best of the crop on the net?

I will look up the item on ebay. Also bought the panels from china so cheep! 265 usd landed in langkawi, for a 175 watt panel, with 2 fly leads.

I am in Nias island, lagundri bay, 250 nmiles north of padang, about 120 nmiles off the west coast of Sumatra.

Cheers from Keith.
