Hi
sorry for the delay I do not check this site but once every few weeks
Yes it does sound as if we are on similiar wavelengths
Only thing is I removed the Balmar and Sterling Power systems - added a BtoB charger for my 24 volt boat trolling batteries. Yes all systems play together just fine andf YES I do change the Tristar settings about twice per year sun position and kind camping determines my settings since the 550 watts of series parallal PV array in flat mounted the roof.
Happy to take this off line to regular email if interested
Regards
Ken
