   * If enough power is available no change will be observed but the controller may run cooler((as PWM switching reduces in frequency.))
   * If demand outstrips supply the Vbattery & Vpanel will drop((causing a bit of a "death spiral", as PWM produces less power as panel voltage drops))
-  * **Example**:  Upon adding load, the controller releases power it had been dissipating in the PWM circuit.  Current output spikes to meet load demand.((this is reflected in either battery charging amps or load amps depending on how the loads are wired))  Output is limited to whatever power the panel puts out at Vabs & Vfloat.((almost certainly less than what the panel could put out at Vmp))
