Electronmonkey reacted to Yellow Measure in Sunsynk 8kw no output on loadHello @JohanBrakpan and welcome!
This is set in the System Mode screen. Take a look at this (random) system mode screen as an example:
For the entry circled in Green, it tells the inverter that between 00H05 and 07H00, it must use 5500W of power to service essential loads from the battery until the battery SoC is at 30% (and then use Grid). The entry could also be interpreted as telling the inverter to use 5500W of PV to charge the battery (if there was PV available, but we know that no PV would be available at this time slot). For the entry circled in Red, it tells the inverter that between 11H30 and 12H30 it must use 5500W of PV to charge the battery to a 65% SoC, if the battery was lower than 65% SoC. If the the battery was over 65% SoC, then It could also be interpreted as telling the inverter to draw current from battery to supplement PV in order to service essential loads, until 65% SoC was reached. For the entry circled in Blue, it tells the inverter that between 17H00 and 18H30, if the battery is lower than 95% SoC then use 5500W of Generator power to charge the battery to 95%. Or, if the battery is higher than 95%, then use it to supplement PV to service essential loads I hope that this helps. I have started a guide on the System Mode screen to assist people, here is version 1.2:
The inverter will use any source at its disposal to keep essentials, or "Load" alive, within constraints set regarding the battery in the System Mode screen, Work Mode 1 and 2 tabs; The whole System Mode screen revolves around the battery: The inverter will draw from, or charge battery to the desired SoC, at the desired time: from PV (or Grid, or Gen if ticked, and if both ticked, then in that order) drawing from the battery, or charging the battery at the rate (W) specified in the stated power level (but not at a rate higher than what the BMS allows); If Load Priority is ticked, it will use PV at the specified rate (W) to first service essential loads; and if any PV is left over, it will use the left-over PV to charge the battery (even if the battery SoC is higher than what is set); if PV is too little, or the rate (W) set too low to service essential loads, then it will draw what it needs from Grid / Gen / Battery <exact order to be confirmed> to supplement PV; If load priority is unticked: It will use all PV to charge battery, at the specified rate (W) (and will continue to charge past the desired SoC which is set on the timer) If Grid or Gen or both is ticked, it will use Grid or Gen (or if both ticked, then in that order) to achieve the desired SoC of the battery; If the desired SoC is achieved for the timeslot, unlike PV it will stop using Grid / Gen to charge the battery. It does not like to waste PV. Note that battery charge / discharge rates in the timer are overridden by the values in the Battery Setup screen, Batt Type, Batt Charge and Shut Down tabs. -
