May 5, 20233 yr Good day We installed the ECCO 5,5kW hybrid inverter and the ECCO lithium-ion battery (48V, 100AH). Connected to it is about 1kW of panels. (Hoping to expand on them later this year). The problem: When both solar and utility is available, the inverter uses some solar and some utility power to power the load. (e.g. 245W from panels and 155W from utility). When there is load shedding, it all works perfectly, and it uses all the needed power from the panels (e.g. 400W). Seamless transition. It's fantastic. But when utility is back on, it immediately uses less from the panels again, and split the input between panels and grid, even when panels have enough capacity for the entire load. Current setting: SUB priority. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Anyone experience this? Suggestions?
June 14, 20233 yr I am not familiar with that inverter. Do you not have an SNU option as under normal circumstances that will be the setting you looking for.

How's the Ecco inverter holding as a friend is interested in this inverter . I know with some inverters with sub they do draw a few wats from grid all the time but not as much as you said it doing .
