+Also known as [[electrical:solar:overbanking|overbanking]]), this configuration can work fine in certain configurations:
+  * solar charging is [[electrical:12v:alt_and_solar|augmented with alternator charging]], or [[electrical:converter|shore power charging]], or;
+  * the battery bank is [[electrical:12v:deep_cycle_battery#lithium_chemistries|lithium]] or some other chemistry unaffected by [[electrical:12v:psoc|partial state of charge]].
+Outside the above configurations, underpaneling can contribute to [[electrical:batterycide|battery murder]].
