Dear solarpunks, hackers, and off-grid nerds of all stripes, i have a solar related question for you:

a friend has a 24V solar setup with an mppt charge controller and inverter. unfortunately the batteries regularly go down to 24 (and overnight, sometimes even below that 😭 ). the inverter only gives a screaming alert when it's way below 24 and generally the people who use the system don't have a way to know if the batteries are getting too low.

do any of you have suggestions for how we might set up an alert for when the batteries are around 24.2? ideally it would send a text or something, but if it makes a really loud sound, that might be ok as well.

the inverter does make a sound when the system is too low, but that's when the batteries are way lower than 24 and we don't have a way to set any options for it.

the charge controller is a victron and there's a victron app, but i haven't seen an option in the victron app that's like... "alert if battery voltage hits x value."

anyway, our budget is limited, but any ideas you all might have would be most appreciated 🙏 🌞 ⚡
