Automation: store excess energy
Any tips on how to make excess energy go into a battery? Ive tried a few different ways but the battery is either used as power source or power usage, i can't find a way to make it switch back and forth
My set up so far is pretty simple, i want to keep the cottage effect, not build a city. I have a few solar panels linked to a hydrometer and a switch on/off, when there's no rain the sprinklers are on.
Its also connected to two windmills, the mailbox, dock and a drone (haven't really used the drone much yet).
So i have excess energy when its sunny, and a lack of it when its dry but cloudy (i just got the bigger wind turbine, planning on installing it once j get more algae). I'd like to store the excess to then use it automatically for when there's a lack of energy... does that make sense?
If anyone understands me and knows how to do it I'd love to try your ideas!
