<p>What you say about the frequency shift being slow makes me
again doubt the value of even using it in my application.<br>
</p>
<p>I have a controller that can regulate the AC dump load.
That same controller has a high limit switch which I could
use to cut the AC feed to the GT inverters. But then both
functions are in the same device. On the other hand, it is a
very reliable device so....perhaps sufficient.<br>

<p>Yes an elite group within an elite group.</p>
<p>So the SB240 does not have frequency shift /wattage
control. How are you implementing charge control in
stand alone mode?<br>
