Hi, It's set to "Zero export to CT", No Selling, "Load first". It uses batteries in my case even when there is full sun

They do it through your wifi connection - must be online on the cellphone app "Smart BESS"

No change with Grid charge selected

Hi, I have the same issue. The batteries charge to 100% by 11AM, and then discharges to 90% without using PV power. Cycles like this until the sun goes down. Time of use settings have no effect at all. I am busy with CFE to resolve - they are apparently working on new firmware that will only let the batteries discharge to 95% (Apparently the current charge/discharge setup is to protect the battery life....)

I will let you know if it makes a difference. Before I switched Eskom off, it also kept the batteries at 100%, used Eskom and PV combined to supply the load.

Hi Mark, I will try the Grid charge setting and see what happens, with Eskom switched off. I have also tried changing the priority to Battery first, but it made no difference. It is currently set to Load first

Hi Guys, Complements of the new year to you all. I also have the Deye 8KW hybrid inverter with 4x 5.1KWH CFE batteries, 11KWp solar. (Eskom connected, but switched off) My question is also settings related: During the day the batteries are usually at 100% Soc by 10h30, and immediately start to discharge to run the load. PV production stops completely 0%. The Batteries discharge to 90% SoC and only then will the PV kick in to charge up to 100% again. Cycle repeats until the sun goes down Is there a setting to change the discharge level to limit the discharge to 90% for instance? Time of use settings have no effect. I don't mind the charge/discharge cycles, but is concerned when the batteries are on a discharge cycle when the sun goes down and I start the evening at 90% rather that 100% Thanks, Deon
