EZPZ question - I'm looking at expanding my GW5kES setup to _two_ AIOs in parallel.
The goal here is to have Unit #2 serve mainly as a charge controller (to charge battery bank1), and to turn on (begin inverting) during high load demand. I can control this via the rocker switch on the unit (on/off), while using current draw on the AC load panel as my triggering/decision signal. The benefit of this (hopefully) is that I can reduce some of my inverter idle load by only spinning up the number of units I need to meet the load demands. Wanted to see if anybody else had executed this and what their experience is. Thanks!

- Unit #1 (primary):
- Tied to array1
- Tied to battery bank1
- Primary single phase AC output to load panel1. (On at all times.)
- Unit #2 (secondary):
- Tied to array2
- Tied to battery bank1
- Secondary (dynamic scale-up) single phase AC output to load panel1. (On conditionally if Unit #1's output > ~4.5kW)
