<p>I recently got the TS4 A-Os when I thought I ordered the TS A Fs
and was also worried about the possible fighting between the two
MPPT devices. As was under the gun for weather and end of year,
went with the AO's. Have you tried emailing

<p>I went through AI and found this document:</p>

I saw as an alternative the Tigo TS4-A-O. These are
