Hi to the forum.
I've been putting a system together and about to go live. Currently 3 400w panels, planning to double that this year and maybe put a 1Kw wind turbine in as well. I have 6.2Kw powMR hybrid inverter and a 7.2 Kwh lifep04 battery, again hoping to add another to take me up to 14 Kwh. I'm planning on hooking this up to my consumer unit but only on the ground floor socket circuit as an emergency back up and to partially charge my plug-in hybrid (it has 10 Kwh capacity battery). My main query is about charging the battery at night using an ev tariff. The powMR doesn't seem to have a timer feature to charge battery, only a voltage sensor. Is there any way to incorporate some kind of timer into the system to take advantage of the low tariff at night? Thanks.
