 ==== transitioning to float ====
-When transitioning from Absorption to Float the voltage needs to drop about a volt.  The system will "free-fall" (make little or no power) to allow the voltage to fall.  The transition may take seconds or minutes, depending on how/if the system is loaded.

-  * starts at Vabs
+  * Vbatt starts at Vabs
-  * power generation stops
+  * power harvest is cut off or greatly curtailed
-  * voltage drops to Vfloat
+  * vbatt drops to Vfloat
-  * when voltage reaches Vfloat the system will start making power to hold that setpoint.
