Excess power?

[dkpro1]

More untruth from the king .....if your off grid is set up right you don't waste power at all

only loss is battery internal res. and inver. loss

hhhmmmm ?

Simple, you can't. What you have is a Diversion Load Connector. So when the batteries are full, the panels are connected to something like a resistance heater to heat water or just burn off the power as waste heat and dumped outside. They are intended to be used on wind mills to keep a load on the turbine so it does not over speed and destroy itself. That is the beauty of off grid battery systems, they are very inefficient and waste of valuable resources. You can never utilize all the power. Most of it is wasted and lost forever.

Hello, please excuse me if my question is daft, but I would very much appreciate an answer. Having connected my batteries to the charge controller and inverter, how do I utilize the excess power produced by the panels (power not used for charging) there is a DC output on the controller for the excess power but if I connect that to the inverter as well as the batteries obviously I have a problem. Is it the case that I need to add a blocking diode of suitable size between the batteries and inverter, I have a battery monitor that places a shunt on the battery-inverter line, will this do the same job or am I barking at the wrong tree altogether? Thank you kindly for reading.
