Hello everyone,
Total noob here.
I need some help with a 24 VDC relay that I’m trying not to burn up again.
The power source is variable from 0 to 65 V depending on the time of day and how many clouds are in the sky. You guessed it, solar panels. What I’m trying to do is control a 110 VAC battery charger. The relay will be wired NC so the charger will be on when there’s no sun or too many clouds for the panels to do their job. And when the sun comes out it’ll energize the relay, opening the circuit to let the charge controller charge and maintain the batteries instead of the AC charger. I hope that makes sense. I know the AC charger contradicts the idea of having solar panels but here in Pennsylvania a clear sunny day is hard to come by.
I’m sure there’s some resistors (and other gadgets) in there somewhere, just not sure how to arrange the circuit to do what I’m trying to do.
Your help is very much appreciated!
