Good Day All. 

Hope you are well. I have recently installed a solar system at home. I have 1 issues which I need assistance with. I have setup Work Mode 1 instructions for the inverter to discharge from the battery. Something concerning has happened. 

From 6pm to 9pm SOC must go fromm 100% to 65%. When using the SOLARMAN PV app I monitored the system and found that my house was consuming around 800W however the battery discharge was around 2kw which meant the surplus of 1.2kw was sent to the grid. 

 

 

i need my system to discharge = load requirements and nothing more. 

 

 

What do I need to do to rectify this?

 

 

 

Thank you

It depends on how it has been setup, and you haven't indicated whether you have non-essential loads or not, but if you only want to limit it to essential loads, tick "limit to loads".

Please post pictures of all your settings

Agree with Leshen. Could you post a pic of your System mode screen?

You should have a zero export block that needs to be ticked. Maybe also the priority load selection.

Could also check to see that zero export power is no higher than 20w

Thank you for your replies. So initially these weren’t ticked. After some research and consultation with a friend that has the exact same inverter, I decided to tick the boxes as you see in the pic. However while monitoring the system performance on a really sunny day I noticed that I wasn’t exporting to the grid, I expect this is due to “zero export” selection. Is there some option to export to the grid when excess power is produced while still maintaining the requirement of battery load discharge = load requirement?

If you want to export surplus solar power to the grid then tick zero export and solar export. 

Thank you. I shall try it and feedback 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Leshen 

 I tried what you suggested and it doesn’t appear to work. The first pics are as u suggested. The last pic is when I untick the boxes. I just wanted to confirm what my load was

Hi Leshen 

 This pic shows with the boxes unticked i am feeding back excess power to the grid
