HI Drake, We need some more info to be able to piece this together. The way I’ve seen this happen with off grid is the batteries are pretty full, in absorb mode often with aging batteries, and a good sized load is turned off. The CC has been putting in extra watts to keep the batteries at its

That is true. The problem is selling a product and saying you will provide installer compensation, then withdrawing it when you feel like it is a very short term "fix". They have alienated many installers who have been installing and selling their product for many years and you'd think that if
