My batteries are not work horses. I live on the grid in Panama and there is no time of use penalty or savings. Electricity is expensive in Panama and more than most US states, so the solar power system has significantly reduced my electric bill. Currently, I seem to be producing more electricity...

The Luxpower 12K, EG2 18KWPV, Sol-Ark 15K and possibly other inverters have a "smart load" function provided to control a generator. I am wanting to use this "smart load" function as a sensor for a smart home. I have the Luxpower 12K and the diagram below is from the user manual. You can use...
