"Solar export should only be ticked if surplus solar power should be exported to the grid. ' If zero Export is ticked then it will surely ignore solar export completely. no it will still export to grid even if zero export is ticked if you have solar export ticked ... i just tested it to make sure.

When I switch it off, they both drop right down. I'm producing 5kw right now with the geyser on. When I turn it off, it goes nowhere. With zero export and solar export ticked and on the latest firmware. And if you untick zero export and tick solar export does it feed to the grid then ?

Curious that mine is set to 0... mine is on 5500w. If i tick solar export it dumps all my solar into grid.

Late reply to this chain, but my 2 cents: These settings are a bit confusing but I've found the following helps to make sense of it: 1. Zero export: "Don't export power into the grid" 2. Solar export: "...EXCEPT surplus solar power" 3. Limit to load: "Don't even power the non-essential loads from the inverter. (solar or battery)" I suspect (but haven't tested), if you untick all these boxes, it will export to grid even from your battery at a rate limited to the Power Limit setting on this screen.
