Jay, My point is that even if the diversion load can handle all of the watts and the PLC is fast enough to react to changes in the ac voltage, the system will probably still be unstable because the battery charger is in the control loop. Kent Osterberg Blue Mountain Solar On 3/4/2020 9:25

Hi Kent, Johns diversion load/controller would take have to take care of watts and ac voltage parameters. Jay > On Mar 4, 2020, at 9:00 AM, Kent Osterberg wrote: > >  If using an ac battery charger to get power around the inverter to the > batteries it would have to be rated for the fu

If using an ac battery charger to get power around the inverter to the batteries it would have to be rated for the full power of the PV array. Otherwise, you couldn't divert the full power of the array on the dc side. For a 24-volt battery, it would require a battery charger rated for over 80 a
