Correct. Three MSX-60 panels in series (or a 120 and a 60) provide *more*
than enough power to keep my E20 peaked. I had it hooked into 3 120 watt
panels, but it would charge in a day or two. I use it weekly at most. The
rest of the panels keep the shed's batteries peaked (300amp/hrs 24 volts)
and surplus power is sold back to the grid via a MicroSine inverter.
So it costs less than 0 cents to operate. :-)
