Settings on DEYE inverters - can it shave load peaks?


Eric007

Recommended Posts

I have 4 x 5kW DEYE inverters in parallel. So up to 20 kW. No issues.

Except that my power supply from Eskom is limited to 60A and it cannot be increased (municipality limit). This limits me more/less 15kW and occasionally my power dips. 

How can I set the inverters to limit intake from Eskom to, say, 15kW only and automatically SUPPLEMENT any additional power (i.e. anything above 15kW) with power taken from batteries?

This is only to shave the peaks, I'm monitoring the power usage and excessive usage seldom lasts for longer than 1 hour...

Can it be achieved with settings on inverters or additional hardware?

You have the grid peak shaving setting to do that

This is how to do grid peak shaving if you are not sure and remember to set the timeslots and battery Soc in "Time of use setting" when you want this to happen.

Time of use setting on "system work mode" page

I seem to struggle... no matter what settings I use, it puts huge load on my battery bank!

 

BTW, I'm accessing and make changes using solar assistant...
