Why don't they simply NOT cycle the batteries at all, as this shortens their

the grid and when they need power they can pull it back again from the grid.
Running the generator is only a waste of money and adds pollution to the
planet... these units are best used for grid backup, should the batteries be
down and the sun not shining.
Very good point Todd! I have held my self back regarding this issue that
seems to come up too often. Fundamentally this line of thinking makes no
sense.
