July 20, 20233 yr The solar shows over 2000watt when there is no loadshedding. As soon as loadshedding comes on, the solar drops completely.......why????? See below screenshots. I don't understand at all??? Please assist!
July 20, 20233 yr Can you trace it back to a difference between the house with and without non-essential loads? Before loadshedding the house is drawing 1110W, of which some could be for example a stove plate that's on the non-essential side. Once loadshedding starts, in the second image, the load drawn is 295W, so a drop of 800W. Maybe a pool pump that went off? Either way, the solar panels will only produce what the connected/active loads are demanding. The second point is that your battery before loadshedding was nearly full, but still being charged with around 1085W. Once loadshedding started, it's the battery supplying the load. This could be related to a difference in charging algorithm between when the battery is expected to be ready to supply the house, versus when the grid is available to pick up the slack, in the event that the solar is suddenly reduced. That part is just a guess. It would be interesting to know if it keeps discharging completely, or whether the solar generation picks up after the battery is somewhat more depleted.
July 20, 20233 yr Author Thank you very much for replying. That makes sense, but if there is enough solar supply for the 295watt on the second screenshot, non essential load, why would it rather draw from the batteries than from the solar?

Do you have the same % settings and selection like USE GRID at 12h09 than at 13h28 being the 2 screen shots?
