November 28, 20223 yr I have installed a new solar system and have been monitoring it from Home Assistant using a modbus and have noticed some weird behaviour that does not seem correct. System Details: Sunsynk 8kW Hybrid PV Inverter 2x Greenrich Lithium Battery 5kW 1.5C 14x Trina Solar Panel 455W So the issue is below. From 9PM the rule is that the battery should not go below 60%. So once it hit 60% it was using grid power correctly. At 23:50pm it suddenly starts making turns almost every minute with the battery and grid. Once it hit the 1pm rule of 50% SOC it correctly only used battery again. What is causing it to switch between battery and grid between 23:50 and 00:30? Edited November 29, 20223 yr by JohanHey
November 29, 20223 yr Any chance of grid frequency instability that is causing the inverter to switch to battery for protection?
November 29, 20223 yr Author Below is all the settings on the inverter. @P1000 Where can I see the dip switch configurations? @GreenFields I'm not familiar with grid frequency. Should I log those values to check? Edited November 29, 20223 yr by JohanHey

November 29, 20223 yr Author @P1000 Left battery is on dip 1 and right battery is on dip 2. Edited November 29, 20223 yr by JohanHey

December 1, 20223 yr 6 hours ago, JohanHey said: Try changing your 1st setting that runs from 1am to 5am to start form 0:00. It might seem silly but I have seen the system work mode do rather odd things when not starting at 0:00 in the 1st timeslot. If I remember correctly there is also YT video from Keith advising the same.
December 2, 20223 yr Author Will give it a try and let you know, although I think the issue is more on the battery's side on how it reports its SOC.
December 3, 20223 yr Author @I84RiS Had it start from 00:00 for a bit now and still doing the same. It does really look like the battery SOC is not being reported correctly which is causing this issue

This should easily tell you what the battery is really doing
