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?

Anyone got an explanation for what Ontario Hydro does when it’s heavily subsidized solar panels produce too much power? They give it to their good neighbours in the northern states, and sometimes pay those power companies to take it. I suspect it is due to deals made by politicians that require the utility to buy all the solar power available at prices 5 to 10 times the cost of other power sources. Electricity behaves logically but politics often doesn’t.
As for the question in the first post, the mechanism is that a tiny flow of current into a full battery runs the battery voltage up to match the charging voltage. Since a voltage difference is required for current to flow, it doesn’t.
