[RE-wrenches] Off-grid array far, far from the batteries

[Roy Butler]

The Morningstar Tristar MPPT600 60 amp charge controller will accept a 
PV input voltage up to 425 volts.
Above that the controller begins to current limit and that goes to zero 
above 550 volts.

Although no trees were killed in the sending of this message,
a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
