One of the answers could have gone two ways, specifically you should not replace a new battery with an old battery, which you can if you run the battery thru several cycles.

Suggestion: Add or point to information on RF noise generated by inverters and miniverters. I'm looking at such a system, but as an amateur radio operator, cannot have a bunch of RF noise. I know of people who receive interference from systems several houses away.
Also: Appreciate the links to the more detailed information -- extremely useful.

The circuit from the inverter or Solar AC disc should be wired to breaker in the Main Breaker Panel for over current protection. The battery string should have a disc sw. I like the links. You might add a list of links, suppliers and references at the end of each chapter.

Good course. Some of the questions are worded tricky, but gets the point across. Glad to take the course and plan to use the many references included for system components to design a future PV system. Still, I think the green advocators are color blind to the required green money for a "Total Installed System." On the other hand what is cost if the system is a must due to circumstances.
