A number of years ago I purchased a device called a "Solar Maximizer" from a
company in Australia, AES or AEI, I think.  This device, which is still
functioning down in a jungle here in Hawai'i, was essentially a step-down
DC-DC transformer.  This allowed me to wire the PV array at a much higher
voltage in order to minimize voltage drop in a long wiring run.  Anyone know
whether these gizmos are still available and from whom?  If they were, this
would be a good fix for Keith's quandry.
