Whatever detail anyone asks regarding this circuit, I will provide, including sending it into Adafruit should you request. I believe Ada knows more about this design than I without even seeing it though.

hi,

sorry we do not have any opinions to offer on this design! but thanks for sharing with the folks here!

you're welcome to post here and chat within the community however- we do not do product consulting. we should mention as a nice reminder that this is the adafruit support forums for our customers - we cannot advise or support a project/product like this. you'll likely want to work with an EE to help you determine what is the best set up and what's best for your company. we specifically made the job boards for people who needs this! many have found folks to work with for this type of consulting you are looking for

Sorry, you are absolutely correct. Feel free to delete or censor any offending information.

connect the panels to the DC input breakout, you dont need the secondary diode if all of them have diodes on them
also use low dropout schottkeys

your panels really are very minimal and panels dont work very nicely when paralleled.

draw a schematic of how you are wiring up eveything and post it here, we'll look at how you're doing it and make sure its correct

Why is that? I use them in paralel alot... omg...
