Hi all, with new flexi tariffs coming into play I’ve set up my system (5kw inverter plus 10kwh battery bank) to be on 40% SOC by 5am and then set the battery limit to be on 30%.

It’s 05h30 my battery is on 40% but the system is using grid power instead of battery. Should the system not be prioritising battery use based on these settings- What am I doing wrong ?

I would start by doing the settings on the inverter. If it fails to improve I would switch off the grid and PV and check if the inverter reports a lowering SOC to ensure the comms is working from the battery.

Also if might help is you post a pic of the system settings as on the inverter screen.

Then give us feedback.

Thanks for the input, I found the problem.

The system date and time on the inverter was wrong, for some reason it was reading as 9th August 2023 21h47. Don’t know how long it’s been off sync but probably explain why my electricity bill for the last few months made no sense.

Have synced it and immediately started pulling from battery and will monitor to see if it doesn’t default back
