 The overpaneled system's power output bell curve is //shifted upwards// and cut off by the controller when it reaches its limits.  This is known as clipping, trimming, or clamping due to the "flat top" appearance of the overpaneled output curve. The overpaneled system's power output bell curve is //shifted upwards// and cut off by the controller when it reaches its limits.  This is known as clipping, trimming, or clamping due to the "flat top" appearance of the overpaneled output curve.
  
-With modest overpaneling the clipping is relatively minor.  Victron notes that:+With appropriate overpaneling the clipping is relatively minor.  Victron notes that:
