Poster's comments:

            I have a solar setup on my place in east Tennessee. This is not that good a place to try tap solar energy.

            My solar setup is my backup to my micro hydro turbine setup, which is my backup to my main source of energy through electricity, which is TVA public power. And it works pretty well where I live.

            Bottom line...one can overcharge their batteries and ruin them. Hence use some kind of solar controller to help in this effort.

            Here's a wiki link on the subject of MPPT solar controllers:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

            There won't be a test.
