Thank you!

I am aware of the cupping (dimpling) issue, but have read it happens only with 3mm thick panels. I wasn't aware of the heat issue causing less output. Do you have a link so I can...

I know. I only put up two links. :) There were more, but it's all good. I know I am being extremely anal about this, but I have learned to accept that about myself. :)

I found a couple. I'll post links when I can. Just because you never saw them doesn't mean it hasn't happened and hasn't been documented.

I agree with the earlier posts about my concern, but it...

Victor,

If you don't mind my asking, how do you get around the charge loop if you need to charge and drain during the day? As you stated, do you simply turn off your converter?
