    Hello N Jenkins


    Thank you for the opportunity given me to make some contribution on this topic. The document is well written (with clear and colourful diagrams). However under (Fig. 3.9 ; 3.10; & 3.11) it show that local Generation (e.g Solar PV) connected to PCE & PCE/Charge Controller and then connected to a Battery (showing DC current flow). For longer distance from the Solar PV and the PCE/Charge Control, it is possible that voltage drop can be a problem.

    Under EESS Specification, no mention is made of the type of conductor to be used to reduce cost and voltage drop.


    Thank you very much.
