Panels don't run things
What is your response to people who ask you "what will your solar panels run?" (run, as in power, operate)
Forum Discussion
The correct answer is they "run" everything. When the panels are producing power, any loads (as opposed to battery charging) on the system are first supplied by the panels to the limit of their capability with any remainder going to battery charging if they are not full. If a load is placed on the system greater than can be supplied by the panels, the batteries make up the difference with no charging taking place during that time (obviously).
On average my panels send about 60 to 70 percent of the power they produce in a day to the batteries and the remainder to directly power systems.
