I would compare the excess solar to a 2000 watt generator.
You have a 2000 watt generator but you are only plugging in a device that uses say, 312 watts. The generator is still running with far more capacity available which is going unused. That's what I'm trying to maximize is the full potential output and try to recover a little of the cost of the solar system. I did like the grid suggestion. the closest I've come to that is running my 50" flat screen in the house off the inverter and it worked fine.
Well said
While I only have 200 watts solar on the roof and 200ah lithium batteries connected to the camper,I struggle sometimes to get it back to my 100% when it's cloudy and have to use a stand alone charger to get it back up...
