Fantastic. Thanks! As a follow up, he's considering connecting a battery bank with an Anderson connector. This is not the golf cart scenario I mentioned in another thread, but he wants to be able to wheel away his battery into storage. Don't ask me why... I can't figure it out myself. Do you see any issues with this? I guess the question I have is what happens when the battery is connected and he's on grid and he decides to disconnect the battery? I'm guessing nothing, but I could be wrong. Will he need to change the settings back to grid-tie only?
