Claim 1:
2. An inline DC voltage step-up system for retrofitting a photovoltaic (PV) solar facility to provide a new, higher-voltage output, the system comprising:
(a) an inline DC feeder DC/DC voltage step-up harness, including:
(i) a housing,
(ii) a plurality of DC/DC converters disposed within the housing, each DC/DC converter having a two-pole input and a two-pole output,
(iii) wherein the outputs of the DC/DC converters are connected together in parallel in the housing and provided as an exterior two-pole output from the housing,
(iv) wherein each pole of the input of each of the plurality of DC/DC converters is terminated with a connector adapted to connect to a respective corresponding connector operatively connected to an existing circuit, and
(v) wherein each pole of the exterior output from the housing is terminated with a connector; and

(b) a DC combiner box having a two-pole input, terminated with connectors coupled to the connectors of the exterior output of the inline DC feeder DC/DC voltage step-up harness, and an output connected to a load.
