boB,
The limit of 80-volts was to make an exception for single module devices like micro-inverters and for 48-volt battery systems and smaller. A change controller operating above 80V would be required to have an AFCI whether on or off grid if the array is mounted on a building. Bill.

How about an off grid inverter/charger that most off-griders would normally have ?? Almost any of the typical off grid I/C would do a much better job at charging. I would think that any el-cheap-o 12V inverter would balk at seeing much over 15V anyway. boB On 10/15/2012 11:27 AM, William Dorsett wrote: Thanks Aaron, but I need one that goes to 15.5 or 16V for equalizing the bank. Just got this back from Iota: "Iota does not make any chargers that go to 15 volts output for equalizing. Thank you Iota Engineering" Xantrex TruCharge 20 at least has an equalize setting, though I don't know how adjustable it is.
