With the Sol-Ark (or other DC coupled inverter/charge controller combinations such as the Envy), will the system pass through solar power if the inverter has turned off on LBCO? If not, then these alternative methods for powering the RSD signal generators won't make a difference, correct? And does anyone know about the built in signal generator in the Envy (or others?) continue to work if the inverter has shut down on LBCO? If not, wouldn't using the built in signal generators cause a significant headache in those circumstances? Howie Michaelson
