 Time-shifting loads to [[electrical:solar:nonessential|periods of excess power]] will help keep the bank fully charged until the sun goes down.
-===== fractional reserves =====
-A fractional reserve might be a half- or quarter day of battery reserve.  This takes into account the (reduced) contributions from your solar, alternator, etc.  It may also require going into voluntary [[electrical:solar:rationing|power-rationing mode]] when solar output is very low.
-[[electrical:solar:overpaneling|Overpaneling]] [[electrical:solar:panel-bank_ratio|2:1]] or more will help gather more solar energy when running slim reserves in poor insolation.
-===== zero reserves =====
-In areas with abundant and consistent [[electrical:solar:output|insolation]] like the desert southwest, you may be able to run with no reserves at all.
