Not drawing from battery as expected.
Hi all,
I'm new on here and new to the solar power thing. System was installed yesterday.
5kW inverter, 5.5kW battery and 4x 550W panels. Geyser not on the system (directly from grid)
The idea is to be off the grid unless I couldn't charge enough. My daily loads should be covered by the battery.
Turned off trickle power 20W.
Yet when I turned on my stove the grid supplied all the power, yet my battery is 100%.
How do I get this correct in my settings?
Regards,
Duard

Good day Flipper,
Apologies for the delayed response. I wanted to test my settings first before giving feedback.
Thank you for the information you provided, it helped me a great deal.
I enabled the timer and set the parameters according to my expectations. Additionally I am on priority load and zero export + limit to load.
Without limit to load set I am seeing 0W on my home yet power is on. With limit to load ticked, the flow is as expected. Battery to home (night).
I use about 35% over night and the panels charge up the battery relatively quickly in the morning. So, currently using less than 40% battery per day and panels easily covers my daytime usage and charging. Only geyser on the grid which I am playing with timer intervals to see how I can optimize usage there.
Thanks again.
Take care.
