Hi,
I have a little 3kv "Mecer" like inverter with 2x 500W panels. I try to to use the batteries as minimal(to save cicles) as possible so most of the time we are the grid, except for once a day when we have loadshedding for like 2hours.
The issue i have, i did set my inverter to "Solar first" but the issue is that when the sun start coming up like 6:00 in the morning, the solar start generating some voltage and then the inverter switches over from grid to solar+battery. The issue is at 6:00 the solar doesnt prduce any usefull power so the mijority of the power comes from the batteries which then drains the batteries. Only around 8-9:00 then the solar panels start producing enough power to run the house without touching the batteries. And the same things happens in the afternoon again.
So my questions is, how can i delay the system to only switch over to solar like +-8-9:00? I thought of adding a Solid state relay to the solar cables and have a geyser time to only switch the solid state relay on at 9:00 and then off at 16:00 when the sun start going down. Any suggestions? Thanks in advange.
