Technical Support

Hi folks, I hope you can help me with these settings on my inverter.

Let me try and explain how I want my system to provide me with power.

For reference, I have the 5kw hybrid inverter and the 5.3kw lithium battery, along with 8 pv panels, with 2 strings of 4 panels wired in series. My roof faces east/west, so 1 string gets power early in the day, and the 2nd string gets the afternoon sun.

Let's say for arguments sake, the weather is good and I am getting long sunny days.

During the day, I want my system to operate in a way that it provides me power for my loads, first from the panels, then the battery, and lastly the grid to provide any shortfall. But essentially I don't want the grid to give me power during the day unless absolutely necessary.

How do I set my invert to do this for me.?

During the night, say from 5pm when the sun goes down, till midnight, I want to only use battery power for any loads. Assuming that the battery is fully charged by the end of the day

Then from midnight to 7am, have the grid charge the battery up to say 70% or so. Once the sun is up, it then takes over from the grid and charges the battery and provides the load.

And the cycle then repeats itself.

At the moment I am only getting power from the grid for any loads, and the battery takes over, only if the grid goes offline.

Basically I am trying to have it the other way round. I hope this makes sense. I know what i am after but I am not sure if I am explaining it very well.
