On the main description it says that the Zero Crossing does not work but on the code there is function to activate the Zero Crossing?

The bitmap that you implemented is a brilliant idea to control the dump load it acts as a dimmer but eliminating any delays on your code.

I have a quick question, this works with an SSR but would it work the same bitmap with a Triac? I believe the Triac only needs a signal to activate it and it will remain ON till Zero Cross where it will be switch OFF. Does this SSR works the same pattern?

Many thanks, I am trying to implement this code for an installation where I do not have the possibility to Export, meaning that my Sweet Zone will be a small consumption from the grid to operate my inverter to full power.

Hello Serg069 - I'd suggest NOT using this code - its very old and there are better methods to do what you require.

Take a look at the solar divert code on the open energy monitor website.
