Hi everyone.
I've just created an off grid solar system for our Mongolian yurt and wood cabin. You can see the project on my blog (address below.) We do have the grid as well, the solar system is to provide an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) if the mains goes down. Additionally I've done it as an exploration into self sufficiency.
It has a 24volt battery bank.
I would like to design a system where a relay can be triggered when my battery bank falls below a specified voltage. The relay will turn a mains charger on so that my battery bank automatically gets charged up again... Ideally switching the relay off again at a high specified target voltage.
I can solder, am familiar with most basic concepts and am a good learner.
Do you think this is feasible? I don't have to "build" the whole thing, I'm happy to buy components that could work together to achieve my goal for example.
I'd love anyones advice and/ or support if you're game.
Thanks everyone for providing this resource.
All the best.
Matt
