Yeah, when I looked them up they recommended a dump load to mitigate fire risk, since however hot they get normally is the baseline for when all the energy they produce gets turned into heat on the panel as well.

Gotta send extra power somewhere, and better to send it someplace built for it than into the expensive thing that's not.
