interesting approach. how would you turn the relay on at specific battery voltage?

you are correct. I was overthinking it.

That is very informative! thanks for this tip! This gives me an idea; When batteries are fully charged or at float charge (in my system that is 54V) a dump load (water heater) can be triggered. I can probably tie a voltage probe to my battery bank so when a certain voltage level has been...

I watched your video clip, it is very informative. Thanks for the tip on growatt inverter, I will look into it.

that (on ebay) is a very interesting product! something like that may be used in my setup. BTW, I was also thinking of using a small solar panel as a "sensor" that in turn would turn relay when a certain power level is reached. I probably would have to use a dummy load on that small solar cell...

I have an off grid system and I do not wish to use the energy from the battery banks for big appliances like water heater, I prefer to use the energy from solar array when there is enough of solar energy to run the water heater. Is there is some kind of sensor/meter that can measure solar...
