It would be nice to be able to charge a battery from the grid at night. I wonder if an installer could do that or if it's some regulatory thing. My 12KW solar/ 10KWH battery is config'd to operate the battery on 4 circuits (kitchen and MBR) at night, down to 25% charge, then switch to grid. By morning, the battery is 25% so I am reliant on grid until the sun comes up. If it rains, it's grid or nothing. I'm not able to change the battery mode of operation, only the installer (Sunlux) can do this. In the past I've had the battery operated as back-up only. The full charge is available at any time, but how long would you wait to use it? Another option is to sell battery power during peak (expensive) time. I haven't done this.
