[RE-wrenches] Photosensor for 12VDC System with load controller

[Jason Szumlanski]

Thanks, Maverick, but I believe it only does dusk-dawn operation of lighting. I am looking for the opposite. I want dawn to dusk operation of the load, and shut-off at night.

It think the C12 has a built in night light function. Use a knob on the inside to set up. 

Thank you,

 

Maverick

	I have a customer with a Xantrex C12 charge controller with LVD controlling a 5A load. Their battery and PV are not large enough to run the load 24/7, and they don’t need it to run at night. I am thinking about recommending a photocell to disconnect the load at dusk and turn it back on at dawn. They are not interested in upgrading the PV and battery (too costly). 

	 

	Can anyone recommend a photosensor source, and maybe a model number?

	 

	Other ideas welcomed…
