PV will be used first, and it will utilise the battery as long as the current state of charge is higher than the set minimum for that time of the day. When it hits the minimum it will use grid power. You can also use this screen to set charging from the grid (if you have a couple of cloudy days and solar is not enough to fully charge). Note that these percentages don't limit charging from PV (so even if it is set to 80%, it will attempt to charge the battery to 100% from PV as long as there is sunlight). It does however limit charging from the grid (so if it is set to 80% at 21:00 with grid charge ticked, it will only charge to 80%).
My 'Grid Sell' is unticked, so it does not export power to the grid. 'HM Load & Zero Export' is ticked, which means it pushes power back into the non-essential loads that are not on backup (in my case this is the geyser and stove). It does this via the grid input (it is bi-directional), and you need to have the CT clamp fitted to use this option. It will attempt to zero grid usage by using PV and battery to push into the 'home load'. So if you use this option and you have very low minimum battery levels set, you could run your batteries flat by using your stove for example. I have my geyser timer set to turn on at 12:00, at which time my minimum battery level is 100% - so the inverter will push all excess PV into the geyser without using the battery.
If 'LD Load & Zero Export' is ticked, it will only power the backed up loads and not push any power back into the non backed up circuits.
I understand that the newest firmware looks slightly different, but it should be quite similar.
