[QUOTE="michael8554, post: 539667, member: 34375"] Hi Malc Most domestic storage batteries charge and discharge DC. So plugging directly into an AC circuit won't work. The battery requires an AC to DC to AC device commonly called an Inverter. AC coupled as John suggests, it can be programmed to charge the battery when you have DC from the solar panels. Or from timed Off-Peak AC from the grid. And discharge in between. Leaving the existing PV panels and Solar Inverter to preserve the existing arrangement with the lease company. [B]"What is the biggest and best, and of course price"[/B] Depends on how much energy the PV panels provide, and the amount of electricity the house uses. [/QUOTE]
