Claim 15:
16. A method comprising:
performing by a controller:
monitoring power at an output of a plurality of parallel-connected photovoltaic strings, wherein each photovoltaic string of the plurality of parallel-connected photovoltaic strings comprises one or more photovoltaic panels connected in series with a voltage-compensation circuit having an adjustable compensation voltage at its output;
adjusting the adjustable compensation voltage of each voltage-compensation circuit until a net total power is maximized, wherein a plurality of first values are the adjustable compensation voltages, each first value corresponding to one of the adjustable compensation voltages, wherein a second value is a minimum compensation voltage of the adjustable compensation voltages; and
adjusting each of the adjustable compensation voltages to a new voltage value, wherein the new voltage value is the second value subtracted from the first value.
