Abstract: A power system is provided, where a load may be powered either by a battery or a source of AC power. The output of the battery (through and inverter) and the source of AC power are both connected to the input of a toggle switch. The output of the toggle switch is connected to the load, such that only one of the battery or the source of AC power is connected to power the load. The battery can be charged from at least one source of renewable energy, and from the output of an AC charger that has, as its input, the source of AC power. The power system has a clock that can be programmed to indicate when a time is peak or off-peak for the source of AC power. The charge level of the battery is monitored by a state of charge monitor. Depending on the state of charge of the battery, and whether the time is peak or off-peak, a controller will output a control signal to the toggle switch to select whether the load is powered by the battery or the source of AC  power, and a control signal to connect or disconnect the AC charger.
