Power Draw
A solid state relay will draw .1W on the driving side, but the load side loses significant power (1V drop). 20W loss when running a 20A load - significant through the day. If solar, that is good, but if we are night-time converting, power loses are not so good at this level.
May want a mechanical relay. Sainsmart relay is 15-20mA at 5v to energize. And no voltage drop on the power side, as it's not going through a transistor like in a solid state relay.
