Aiko partial shading with MPPT

Hello all, can you plese help me solve this.

I would like to buy panels AIKO Neostar 2S+ but there is it has "partial shading" technology built in panels but Victron in general says, that I can´t use external optimizer as Tigo, Solaredge, etc. It can destroy MPPT. In datasheet for this panel I found that this panel have partial shaiding optimisation inside.

I found that similar question was asked here: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/282682/compatibility-panel-with-mppt.html

but dont know results of this (if buyer bought panels and was working like expected...)

So it is 100% true this panel will work with Victron MPPT and this "partial technology" is something that should be better and overall performance would be better, not worse or this is something that victron ignore and behave like it is normal panel?... Dont know what to think about all of this.

Thank you very much

Here is panel datasheet:

you responded to that question in a different language then english so its hard to help for other members :)

like i wrote in that topic, the panels will work on an victron mppt, there is not really anything special about these panels then other glass panels

Thank you for response. So this panels with this kind of "technology" built in will be better than normal common panels?

My question is if this added price value in this panels will be something that Victron wont ignore and will work :)

in video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDMGgAHkAoc we can see that if it work like shown here it will be good ofc. :)

Thank you again @Duivert NL !
