Battery 20 kWh LiFe open loop.  The owner wants the lowest energy bill.  The rates are; off-peak at 0.04/kWh and on-peak at 0.21/kWh.  My choice is battery and solar on-peak 9:00 am to 9:00 pm.  However, the homeowner will deplete the battery on cloudy days,  AND the Outback will turn off leaving them without power.  Is there a way to switch to grid power for this period?   I do not want to charge the battery at this time.
