Hi Nick,

I'm curious why the two banks of batteries?

My hope was that the 2 inverters could switch between master and slave based on state of charge for 2 separate battery banks, with 2 separate charge controllers. The backup would be a generator, and could be 2 different gennies, one on each system, or perhaps one generator on a 2 inverter grid. I know it is a lot more inverter than what is probably needed, but i would really like to have 2 separate banks to avoid weaker cell issues.
