Hi all,

Quite a tricky question with an odd setup.

I have an existing solar setup 9KW of solar pannels on the roof with a 8KW Solis inverter.

I also have an old powervault P3 (4kw) ac coupled battery, this is being replace with a new Sunsync 5kw eco inverter and a Fogstar 15.5kwh battery, the old powervault has quite a nice interface where you can edit what the battery is doing, the modes available are:

Normal - auto if power is going out to the grid use it to charge the battery if a big load in the house needs power then discharge the battery

Force discharge - will dump as much power as it can until battery is flat

Force charge - will charge as fast as it can, will use the grid if needed

disable - battery will do nothing

dormant - low power, reduce the load needed to run the battery from 40w to 10w

only charge - will soak up power going back to the grid but will not discharge if the house needs it for a big load

only discharge - will not charge the battery even if power is flowing back to the grid, but will provide power to run the house.

What setting do I need to use on the sunsync inverter to get the normal mode, charge if exporting power but run the house if a big appliance like a dishwasher / oven are turned on?
