Hi drake, It all depends on how you set it up.
With the SI it can be a simple hz shift which causes most GT inverters to reduce power then cut off. Pretty much a on/off type of charging you are describing. When used with a SMA GT inverter and connected in the right way, will taper charge to a pretty small amount. A cat 5 cable is run between the inverters for comm. I don't know if you can use wireless yet.

I've also read that it does taper charge.
