Hi there. Super noob here. I just got my first solar system set up and I had a question about where my excess power is going. I looked around the forum and couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for so if anyone could answer my question in layman's terms I would be very grateful.
My panels were producing about 1000w and they charged my battery bank to full in no time at all. When my batteries reached full, my BMS enabled over-voltage protection and disabled them from being charged any further. So far so good? Anyway, I’m now left with my panels still producing 1000w of power and it has nowhere to go. The bms won’t allow it into my battery bank, so does that mean it’s all getting pumped directly into my SCC? If so, is that going to somehow damage my SCC? Is it getting burned off as heat?
I just can’t quite wrap my head around this. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
