Assembling the parts for the load manager
gathering the parts

Started by building a modified electrical box with giant heat sink on the cover. Added 8 big Solid State Relays (SSR), and have ordered some interface IC's.
I built up a grid charger computer board to use as the controller.
The big transfer relay assembly was mounted into another electrical box, in preparation for the final wiring.
Next step will be to wire it up and get all the electronics to work and get the rudimentary program written.Until then, I will be the load manager, and learn what works and what does not, so when we start writing the program, I know what it needs to do. Would be great to be able to get the hourly skycover predictions from the National Weather Center, as a way to know in advance what to expect for solar input.
