Solar Installation – Flying High and Far Away
The title reflects the unique install. The roof layout for the panels shows the roof vent and skylight. In addition there are the evil shadow producing A/Cs and ladder. Three 250W Cynergy polycrys...

Hi mlts22,
My Blue Sky controller is undamaged when the battery bank is disconnected. It shuts down, so I expect there is a relay to disconnect the panels when the batteries are turned off.
Nice install but I would have used a larger footprint on the roof. Possibly overkill but I'd rather have it too strong. After all, with a good stiff head wind the supports may be subjected to 200 kph (140 mph) wind loads.

I wonder if it is just Morningstar or all solar charge controllers that may take damage if the batteries are disconnected before the solar panels get cut. If this is the case, for my next solar project, I might put the connection to the CC between the switch and the batteries so the batteries get isolated when in storage, but the CC wouldn't get fried.
