I already answered that for you. While it wasn't using batteries,
it was using something which emulated a small bank, as long as
the PV arrays were up and going.

I'd like to hear more details about how it works and the
algorithms for dealing with changes in insolation.

It's very similar to the 'mini' or glovebox size jump starter
packages for your car. But, instead of using a small lithium battery,
it uses power from the PV array. It does require a minimum of 800
volts upto 1200volts and can run on a little less than 3amps, but,
3amps keeps it happy. As long as the array can do that, it's golden.

In other words, it requires an array with two strings, each capable
of close to 600volts. You bring BOTH strings to it, and, it'll
internally treat them as a series connection, to get the higher
voltage it requires.

It makes more DC voltage than those devices, but, quite a bit less
amperage. And, as long as you can feed it a constant voltage supply,
it'll continue to provide the required output. Unlike the mini jump
starter kits.

I plan to get a patent on it at some point (if at all possible) and
market it to various solar companies, pending they aren't already
developing their own versions of it. So, I'm not going to get too
specific on it's internals, if that's what you're wanting to know
about.

Suffice to say, the modbox will be coming back to my workshop, when I
get the chance to visit the client and retake possession of it. They
don't need it's services anymore, they have an actual battery bank
now, capable of delivering 600amps.
