Not sure how their MPPT logic would current share under low sun conditions. The Kilovacs then switch your inverter to either bank via a manual 2 position switch, or a voltage sensing relay across each bank. Unless each bank had vastly differing voltage set points, I would just parallel them together via large fuse + isolator on each bank. Mike
