of older PV modules. I did not document any of this but:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";
color:windowtext'>Of course they did not want to spend more $ with at the
addition of 4 new modules, so we tried out 4 new and 4 older PV on [1] MX
60.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";
color:windowtext'>Result – voltage was slightly higher than the older
modules output and below what it could / should have been. Amperage was around as
if they were all older modules.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif";
color:windowtext'>This made the point for the client: we added a second MX60 with
one for the new and one for the older modules and the newer modules came in at
spec. for voltage and amperage. The older PV backed off as they preformed as
before. Not too scientific here, but point is that separation is important.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
