So you would install the power cord to the outlet connect to the T103 time clock and then run it to your 240 V outlets

Thanks. I look forward I look forward to soaking up as much info as I can and helping others in the future. Haven't got anything started yet, still piecing everything together. Just pretty much exploring all options and ideas.Most solar panels are grid connected via either micro or a larger central inverter with which both styles change the direct current produced by the panels to an AC current that can be fed back into the grid.
All lighting, either HPS, LED or any others variants uses that same AC current.
That said it sure won't hurt your electric bill to have panels offsetting what current you do use for your grow. I've got a small rooftop PV setup that takes care of most of what I use all year, electricity wise.
Btw welcome to the farm.
Jumping for joy I got a question I remember 10 years ago there would be so many questions I couldn't keep up I'm trying to figure out what happenedI have one for ya.
Having an issue with a new a.c., my master controller can't handle the load.
This is an option if it will work. See pic below for a general wire up.
Using a light controller and the signal wire to my controller to turn on and off the light controller which powers up the a.c.. will having cycle on and off repeatedly cause the light controller to overheat and cause issues?
My other option is to wire the temp sensor to my controller, but I have to take apart the unit, test the voltage, get this and that to make it work.
