Got some questions/comments on the spec.

1. Spec is 97.5% efficiency at (17V/13.6V). What's the power level?

2. More important, what's the efficiency at 480W, 68V/13.6V?

3. From spec: typical operating power consumption is 0.98W. Max power consumption is 1.5W. That doesn't make sense. Max PV power is 480W. At 97.5% efficiency, you're dropping 12W into the charge controller.

... and it's a better kit than was supposed to be. Voltage sense cables that were about to become optional, are now included.
