I guess there is no other real answer to this than to say "Hobby". I really just enjoy learning all about this tech and what can be done (or not done) with it. I got into the "Hobby" after the last 2 storms and wanted to see what could be done. I realize I will never save any money doing a solar thing - and it is a laugh to think a person is "saving" the planet. About as funny as electric cars.
So now that it is up and running, I guess I could just flip on the AC line, use the batteries occasionally and keep them on float until the next natural disaster, EMP or whatever.
But something else I have been wondering about charging. I follow many of your comments on the forum, And you and I have discussed charging before. But I noticed the other day you mentioned to someone about charging their 24v system at the recommended Trojan volts of 29.4v (or something close to spec). I am still not getting 100% of my Trojans unless I up the voltage to 31v in Bulk/Absorb. They do get charged fully (SG tested) but only if I use the higher voltage. Is that a problem?
