Will this inverter be able to charge my batteries automatically when the price rate of electricity is low on Economy 7 tariff?

[alexanderware]

As a new DIY looking to install a small solar panel system, I’ve been very much interested by many YouTube videos and I’ve learnt a lot so far.

I have now a draft idea of how my project on a small budget could look like, but I still have a question I haven't found an answer for. Your opinion would be much appreciated on this combination.



Will I be able to set up this inverter to charge my battery automatically when the price rate of electricity is low, when I’ve got this tariff from my electricity supplier?



I'm planning to combine the following:

Solar panels on the top of my big shed: 12 x RENESOLA BIFACIAL DOUBLE SIDED 550W FRONT AND 115W BACK HALF CUT MONOCRYSTALLINE (https://voltaconsolar.com/renesola-...9pKBBDkW3n4xO3v2MYgbPApIqjo9Ba-EaAkLQEALw_wcB )

4 x 24V 100Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Battery (https://uk.eco-worthy.com/products/24v-100ah-lifepo4-lithium-battery?variant=44378922090736)​

All-in-one Inverter Built in 5000W 48V Pure Sine Wave Inverter & 80A Controller for Off Grid System (https://uk.eco-worthy.com/products/...ff-grid-system?_pos=4&_psq=inver&_ss=e&_v=1.0)​

Thank you.​

To my knowledge that inverter won't be programmable for set charge times. Assuming your in the uk going by the links there are some inverters that are compatible with octopus energy, givenergy systems for example solis inverters can be set to charge at the cheap rates. The eco worthy will no doubt need to be hard wired into its own 32a supply. Only other option would be a separate charger in conjunction with a timer switch. Maybe others will have better info

You'd have problems using 24V batteries with that 48V inverter without a bit of faffing around.
