[RE-wrenches] Morningstar MPPT charge controller

I haven't done it but why can't you use a standard lighting photocell to
turn on the inverter? There really is no current involved so the load
shouldn't be a problem.

I am assuming that you just want to turn on a light? 

 

Just a thought,

The Morningstar Sure Sine inverter and MPPT charge controller sound like a
good match considering the reliability of their products. But when I tried
to use the CCs ability to act as a timer to turn on/off the Sure Sine via
its remote on -off input terminals I found that the two are not compatible.
A call to tech support and I find that I must use a third-party relay to
activate the 1P-1T switch on the Sure Sine. 

I'm sure other Wrenches have come across this combination before for a 12V
lighting system so I'm wondering what specific brand or technology of relay
works reliably in a hot location. I prefer to have a DIN mounted relay but
will consider something else. 

Thanks in advance
