I have a small 12 volt setup to just run a small refrigerator and it has been working very well so far. I currently use the generator to charge the 12 volt 200 amp hour battery once every 3 or 4 days. I am using an inverter going from the 12 volt battery to the 120 side to the cabin. I also have a 12-volt charger that I run off of my generator to charge the battery when I need to.
I now have a 100 watt solar panel system that I want to use to charge the battery. However I still want to be able to charge the battery with the generator during times when there's not a lot of sun. I am trying to figure out how to isolate between the solar power coming in to the batteries and the generator to charge the battery.
Any thoughts? A switch to isolate the solar side while the generator is plugged in?
Thanks
Andy
