Here's hoping no more males show!

And so far they're working well. Let's see the end results before we come to a conclusion, but I'm still pretty unhappy about the wattage issue. The fans shouldn't be taking more than a few/several watts each (typically 12V@200-300mA) so I'd bet more on your panel diodes getting about 70-75w total.

Of course, this DOES mean that your (hate using this term) grams per watt jumps up! Also, this means your grams per kilowatt-hour goes up as well! Either way, this does mean a performance increase, but it's still dishonest advertising.
