[RE-wrenches] sol-ark idle load

[Chris Sparadeo]

Hi Jay,

I have measured tear losses ranging from 40 watts up to 75 watts with the
12kW inverter. When charging/discharging rapidly the fans contribute to the
higher consumption. My understanding is that the Wifi dongle uses single
digit wattage to function. Definitely important to factor in the tear
losses of this specific unit, somewhere around 1.4kWh/day

Best,
Chris
