MPPT with Batteries [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

Chris,

Good question. I've got 8 each 4-module SP70 series strings coming off the
roof in 4 series-parallel circuits into the old Trace ground fault detector
board and then into a C40. Everything has been working fine since May 1998.
I considered an RV controller a while back but did not want to re-wire my
array into 3-module series strings and get 2 controllers. I'm open to
suggestions, but I don't want to rewire the array.

Also, there's not much grid-tie/battery options on the list of inverters
eligible for the CEC rebate. See
http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/erprebate/eligible_inverters.html

Best regards,
Joel Davidson
