   * [[#vs._charge_controller|overpaneled charge controller]] - battery bank and charge controller are evenly matched;  panel nominal or actual output is  more than the controller's rating.
-  * [[#vs._battery_bank|overpaneled battery bank]] - solar panels and charge controller are evenly matched; both are oversized compared to battery bank.

   -  when there is very little load being used
-This occurs because the PPT controller moves Vpanel toward Voc to reduce current when less is needed but battery voltage is high, as in late Absorption .  This occurs because the greater the voltage conversion the more heat is produced.  For this reason, and perhaps counterintuitively, adding some load to the system in Absorption can drop PV voltage (and therefore CC temps) to lower levels.((http://forum.solar-electric.com/discussion/comment/256896#Comment_256896))
