I can not find this information on the homepower website. I may have to pay to view one of the online issues. Since I don't want to look at all of them, could you please point me in the right direction of where to start looking?

Or... even better, could someone explain to me how this is done? I have a hard time figuring out how a diode in parallel with a panel would accomplish anything other than bypassing the whole panel whether it is shaded or not. There must be some important information missing here.
