Some feedback. This is currently my best solution for the moment. Thanks for all your suggestions.

@Kalahari Meerkat Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

@Youda Thanks for the great suggestion. I will give it a try.

Hi All, This is what I would like to achieve: Since the battery is only 2.4kW, I want to ensure it remains fully charged in case of a power outage or load shedding. The battery should be recharged solely by the solar panels. How should I configure the inverter? My current settings work, but the battery drains to 80% (or less) when no solar power is available. Thanks for all your comments and suggestions!

I unticked the TOU but the battery was still drained.

I have set Zero-export Power to 100. This morning battery was drained down to 75%

@abd7 Thanks, will test.

@Youda Thanks will test.

@Bobster. Thanks for the reply.

@Bobster. Thanks for the info. My experience is limited on both ends. The battery capacity is rather limited. I was hoping to be able to set the battery usage to the minimum and have it almost fully charged in case of power outage or load shedding. Any suggestions?

It starts to drain the battery just after 19:00 when there is no solar power left and starts loading the battery the next day when there is sufficient solar power. I'm adding my current settings. Any advise will be great, thanks.

Thanks. I can understand if there is no AC but in this case there is AC available.

I do understand if there is no grid AC available it must use the solar and battery, however it drains the battery when there is AC available. My other concern is the amount it uses is 20% plus. Or my inverter settings are incorrect.

"If you don't want to use the battery, then either disable the TOU function, or keep the percentage at 100%, or limit the battery Power to 0 Watts on the TOU screen." Referring to the above suggestion. I'm have some difficulties with the Pylontech battery (only one). The battery (Pylontech US2000C) starts discharging when there is no more solar power available. So far, it begins discharging anytime from 19:00 until the panels can start charging the battery again. It discharges down to about 80% plus throughout the night, even if there is no solar power during the day. The battery is connected to a Deye SUN-5KSG01LP1-EU. Battery serial number: H230220C30290075 The Deye setup is as follows: Load first Gen charge and Gen signal: Off Lithium mode: 0 TUO: Disabled The battery is charged by the solar panels and only functions when there is no AC power or during load shedding. Any advise. Thanks in advance.
