Solar wasted watts/volts
I am curious what happens to the watts /volts when your system is fully charged and you have no demand? Were does the extra power go?

SOooo...if I run my generator but use no electric...than according to you...the generator uses no GAS??? lol. Have you ever wondered why, as our electric usage in our homes and businesses gets more efficient using less Watts, our electric bill gets more expensive? The power generator( Power Company) must generate the POWER regardless of whether or not its used. As for u'r local Power Co. they have the same cost of production but less income as less power being not used is also Not paid for. As for we campers, we are the producers and always must pay for it. lol
what a FALLACY
the engine running moving mechanical parts and producing heat uses the gas
but it is at idle, no external load
as far as the power company..NO it not always full load
that is summer time when everybody wants A/C
when full power demand is not there, they can reduce ouputt by off-ling some of the turbines being used to produce the power
hydro driven, steam driven, wind driven, coal fired, gas fired
they just shut down some of them and do maintenance, put them back on line shut and down others
