Thanks so much for all the great responses..
smkettner, wow.. I had forgotten so much of what I learned back in 2013 & 14! Trimetric.. Of course! They match up their units like nobody else.. I had studied old Solar Bob, Crazy Bob.. can't remember his handle but everyone seems to know of him..
I also learned about how the cardboard wall mounted factory issued meters measure the voltage as it is in the wire "at that point" and not a true measurement at the battery so all high end componentry is really important. I'm getting Trimetric Controller and Batt Mon!
Great stuff.. I was once a Licensed Contractor and an Engineer and often worked both fields at the same time.. Now I have Complex Sleep Apnea and I think I'm getting reverse training.. Sad!
