How to have a hot water heater turn off below 50 v and on at 52 v. I have a 48v off grid pv system running our cabin. It has a 5000w inverter. I have been heating our domestic hot water during the day with 120vac and manually turning it off at night in order to preserve the battery capacity. But I wonder if there is an adjustable relay with which I could automatically sense the battery voltage and switch the water heater on at say 52vdc and off at say 50vdc. Preferably those voltages would be adjustable so I can experiment to find the best on off voltages.
