November 26, 20232 yr I am using a Growatt 5000 es off grid inverter with SAKO 5 k lithium battery My home usage is around 12 units per day Once the battery power is over in the night battery is charged by utility in full It takes minimum 6 units of power and 4 hours Since this looks not economical I restricted battery charging time to 2 hours starting 5 am each day During this time it takes about 3 units from grid and the battery is halfway charged Once the 2 hours charging time is over utility stop charging the battery When the sunshine comes in the morning solar starts charging the battery until it is fully charged but does not share solar power with home needs while charging Meantime grid continually provides power to the house without disconnecting I wanted to know whether there is a setting which I can use to share battery power while charging from solar in order to economize my solar input

Let me know what are your settings and I may be able to help you.
