 +    * higher voltages can help overcome minimum delta requirements to get the MPPT algo running (Victron controllers, for example,  require +5v to start and +1v to maintain MPPT). 
   * CON   * CON
     * series arrays can generate quite **high operating voltages**.  Be sure your controller can handle the VoC with edge effect.     * series arrays can generate quite **high operating voltages**.  Be sure your controller can handle the VoC with edge effect.
