<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Good points. A good designer would still avoid
putting PV in the shade in the first place. A retrofit has to factor in the
material and labor costs vs. the value of the system performance improvement.
Has anyone done a Solar Magic installation or some other type of retrofit
to remediate shading?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Don't these things add like a buck a watt to the cost of the
system? If that's so, they would have to be magic indeed to yield 10%-15% more
power/year depending on system costs.

<DIV>Ok, so I've read the pitch from the Manu, however not sure even if the
published specs for shade improvement are very convincing to me.. </DIV>
<DIV>Would one of my esteemed colleagues explain what it does and how
it works.</DIV>
