I'm thinking you should come to my house in the middle of the day and we'll pull out some different solar panels, batteries, cables, multimeters and charge controllers. I'll really confuse you!

I'm new to ExPo; but I actually work selling off-grid solar and inverter systems. I design them every day for customers. I'll see what I can do to add to the discussion for this as well.

Feel free to respond to me with questions. I can help!

Any chance on an updated overhual on some new data?
PITA I imagine, but 5 years have past for some of these threads.

(still continuing to read them all though)
