[RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark grid tie question

[Jason Szumlanski]

Fantastic. Thanks!

As a follow up, he's considering connecting a battery bank with an Anderson
connector. This is not the golf cart scenario I mentioned in another
thread, but he wants to be able to wheel away his battery into storage.
Don't ask me why... I can't figure it out myself. Do you see any issues
with this? I guess the question I have is what happens when the battery is
connected and he's on grid and he decides to disconnect the battery? I'm
guessing nothing, but I could be wrong. Will he need to change the settings
back to grid-tie only?

Jason
