anyone know a way to slightly reduce the voltage of solar panels?
Open the junction box on a panel and bypass one string. 5V/100W zener diode in series will get it in range when operating but will still run afoul of the Voc limit when not at the MPP. The
Reduce Solar Panel Voltage (Volts + Calculations)
The easiest and safest way to reduce the voltage from a solar panel that is operating is to connect it to a step-down converter. These are also known as Buck Converters.
