I'm thinking just build the switch harness, so I can pick n chose what kind of inverter,
charger and etc that I want to use.

Right now, I'm putting together a 400W PV powered battery charging setup.
The plan was to use the batteries with inverters to power sump-pumps during outages.

But, I'm thinking maybe I could take some stuff off the grid?
Maybe the 10 hours a day this PC is drawing 180w could be cut in half.?.
Maybe my (133w) refrigerator could get some of it's juice from the sun?

After the batteries are charged, why waste the incoming photons?


The nice part of this scheme is, no GTI is used.
No power is going to go out on the grid. But, your electric bill will be reduced..
