PT has some sort of water heater gizmo from solar stuck in his tank as a "diversion load." Why would operating that lower the battery voltage? I thought it only diverted what the solar was pumping in, but not to the extent it also drew the battery down????
On inverter high voltage alarm, I can see in the winter when a controller with temp comp would raise the set point from say 14.8 to 15.1 and this trips the inverter at 15v. But in summer, temp comp would make that 14.8 into 14.6, so what's the problem?
I have two different brand inverters and they both have 15v high shut off. What inverters have such low high voltage shut offs that they quit at nominal (no temp comp) 14.6ish volts???
Or are we seeing some sort of voltage drop problem here with a too thin, too long set of wires????
