Hello all!
Thank you for all involved in helping and improving the partial shading algorithm in the MPPTs in the MPPT RS models. For details on that, see this thread.
Per today we have a new version available, v1.16-beta-02. Full change log below.
We're keen to release this version officially, since it contains various fixes and improvements; including the important one in the partial shading algorithm:
Feedback is much appreciated - also if it works OK in your system.
