  1. Hi GMAC Thank you for the reply. Will give the EOD soc% a try and see if it works. They currently have only the one battery. The AC Charger is set to 30A so I will leave that as is. Recently they had a breaker failure on the AC input side, which forced them to use the battery and solar only. I saw that with careful consumption they can get through the night with about 30% remaining in the battery. So the idea is that only when the battery falls below 30% the inverter must then use eskom to recharge the battery but only by 10% till the next morning. After which the solar must then recharge the battery. Would you recommend that I disable the PV&AC take load jointly option? As I'm reading through the SMA 5000 manual but it's exceedingly ching-lish. And its not clear as to what this function does.
  2. Good Day All This is my first time posting but I have been lurking around for quite sometime. I want to ask for some assistance, my parents have a Luxpower SNA5000 inverter with a Volta Stage 1 installed. Currently the inverter is setup so that solar powers the home during the day and then eskom provides power during the evening with the battery only being used when eskom and the solar are unable to. Is it possible to set the inverter to only use eskom as a last resort? Ideally the house would use solar during the day and the battery at night should the battery decrease beyond 30% then eskom must be used to charge the battery back to 40% this way there is at least a buffer should there be a power outage and eskom is not available. I will upload a pdf of the settings used on the inverter. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.Remote_Set_3053531275-1.pdfRemote_Set_3053531275-1.pdf
