Think there may be confusion over what I mean by the grid I’m referring to the mains supply to the house fuse board. AC out is connected to the fuse board so is therefore connected to the grid

Just to confirm. normal design solar charges battery and inverter AC out connects to fuse board. When no power available grid takes shortfall. so I can connect grid (same connection AC out is connected to) via a timer to AC in to only charge during off peak? something like an immersion heater...

Looking for something more modest just to cover the 10kw that’s outside the cheap period. solar calculater says a 4-6 kw solar array should generate 10kw a day. thanks very much for the help by the way. Much appreciated ?

I charge an EV, heat a thermal store and throw in washing machine etc during cheap electric. around 20kw and happy to pay that on cheap rate. remaining usage is 10kw over the remaining 20 hours. So aiming for solar/battery to provide this. Would start fully charged from cheap electric until sun...

So connection wise you would have a cable connected to AC out and fuse box and another cable teed across AC out through a timer to AC in. Battery/ solar powers house when possible and cuts off when it receives input power? that makes sense if can’t be done with all in one unit. looks similar to...

Thanks, I’ll study this later. getting close but I only want the battery to charge at a specific time period when it’s cheap ( a four hour window) so need a timer I think.

Ok, thanks. so I’d need an automatic transfer switch connected to the fuse box with one cable Then one to the AC in and another to the AC out? in one position batteries or solar would power the fuse box and position two fuse box (grid) would charge batteries during a set time with hopefully a...

how would I connect something like a Vitron Multiplus to a fuse box to supply whole house! I would assume AC out via an MCB in the fuse box, no problem there but what if I also want to connect the AC in also to the fuse box to charge batteries during off peak? havnt seen any kit with built in...
