June 10, 20197 yr Hi , I am starting off in solar and installed the following system with the following components after doing some research based on my current needs: 1 x Axpert 5kva 12 x 330W Panels 3 x Pylontech US2000B 2.4 kWh Li-Ion Batteries (I first connected 2 batteries 12 days ago and 10 days later added the 3rd battery when the previous 2 have done 23 cycles already. I see on the Pylontech battery information tab in ICC it specifies that all three batteries have 24 cycles now.) I would like to optmise the settings on the ICC to get the most out of my system and batteries whereby the panels must carry the load and charge the batteries during the day in sunlight, should the load be more than the panels, the shortfall must be supplied by the batteries. If the load drops again and the panels can handle it, the panels must supply the load again and continue to charge the batteries. Should there be no sunlight or at night, the batteries must supply the load and when a certain SOC is reached, the utility/grid must supply the load and charge the batteries. Once the batteries have been charged the batteries must take over the load and disconnect from the utility/grid. Once sunlight appears or daytime breaks with sunlight, the system must feed the load from the panels again and so on. The following settings as per the pictures are currently configured on the ICC. Your assistance with regards to optimum settings on the ICC would be highly apprecieated.

June 12, 20197 yr Author Hi, I just wanted to confirm that these will ensure optimal performance. Thank you so much for the response. It is much appreciated.
June 12, 20197 yr Author I have seen two different configurations/connections on the Pylon batteries as per below whereby the negative and positive is taken from the primary battery and the other connection whereby the positive is taken from the primary and the negative from the last secondary as per attached connection configuration 1 and connection configuration 2. What is the difference between the two and which one is recommended?
