Hi Guy's,
I currently have a single solar panel on my shed connected to a 12v leisure battery through a 12v charge controller, this powers 12v lighting, a Google Home Mini, a WiFi mesh node and a WiFi CCTV camera and these items run under 12v (with adapters where needed) I also have an inverter connected to the battery, should I want 240v to power a mains appliance.
However I've recently found the leisure battery dropping to below 12v of a night time, the lightning is only used when necessary and not all the time.
So now to my question:
I'd like to run mains to the shed, but rather than waste the solar setup, I'd like it to compliment it, switching to mains when it needs to, I've seen an ats that appears to suit my needs, but it seems to only output 240 using an inverter to take the 12v from the solar power, I'd only need mains to recharge the battery and maybe power the occasional mains appliance and don't want to rewire the other devices.
Your thoughts please?
