So it's getting near mid day, my solar panels are pumping 3+ kw. Then the battery gets to 100% SOC and the electronics in the system "derate" the panels and now there's just a small output to service any loads and keep the batteries topped up.
But the sun is still shining just as brightly, and the panels themselves must be producing as much energy. So where does it all go? Is there some big heat sink somewhere?
