Here's my current settings as explained in my earlier post

Hi guys, thought I would share my settings and see what response I get from the forum.... Firstly, my setup is a s follows: 5Kva Deye Hybrid Inverter coupled with a 48V 4800Wh LFeLi battery and 4 x 340w solar panels .... My house orientation in not optimal, so I have two panels facing SE for morning sun and the remaining two facing NW for the afternoon sun... needless to say, all 4 panels benefit at Midday and I can get 1.1 Kva generated on a good hot sunny day for about 2 to 3 hours. Back to the settings... I have basically set the Time of Use to run the battery down to 50% SOC at night and early morning and also allow the Grid to charge once 50% is reached if required. During the day, I have set the SOC to 95%, which is hopefully achieved by solar alone. I have set the last day time session to be charged by the Grid to 'Top up' the battery to 80% before heading back into the evening period. Needless to say, this is suitable for good sunny weather and typically 4 hours of load shedding at night. (Day time load shedding should not be an issue) If circumstances change, ie the weather is cloudy / raining with little sun, I will have to Grid Charge all time sessions ... in other words, Top up with Eskom once the SOC drops to the preset values. My only "risk"as I see it is if load shedding occurs with bad weather, then power management will need to apply, ie minimal load on the battery until either the sun shines or the power is restored. That's my system in a nutshell... any comments /suggestions are appreciated.
