April 23, 20197 yr Morning, I am in Betty's Bay, I have an Axpert 5kva, 6 x 330w Canadian solar panels and 4 x SonX RA12-260D AGM 260ah batteries. I want my motion sensor and household lights to always work, so connected with setting UT1. I also want to return to Eskom in case inverter fails, so using a break-before-make switch. In addition I want my TV and some appliances to work, coffee machine, microwave etc if required. So using a second cross-over switch for the rest of the house, existing DB. The idea is, I wake up at 5, power is off, but lights work. I switch all plug circuits off, except TV and coffee machine - only required circuits are switched on. I have a Geyserwise switch, set to manual, so nothing else will run to conserve batteries. If the panels generate enough power (using WatchPower) I can switch on the fridge/freezer circuit I came up with this rough sketch, comments will be appreciated
