We have the above configuration, but the installer seems unable to overcome the issue that for any excess production (i.e. when the battery is fully charged), we are being charged by the municipality (the prepaid meter simply runs backwards). A current meter was installed to stop production when battery is fully charged, no success. Here the question, to find out if my expectations are incorrect:
With a grid tied system, and a battery, priority should be to fill the battery, then feed the house consumption and dispose the surplus onto the grid, in our case without getting rewarded for it, correct? Do we have to apply to the municipality to be allowed to feed in (i.e. get paid for it), as per the installer this costs about R12K for the installation and a monthly fee - i.e. we'd rather "lose" overproduction.
Has anyone got experience with setup options for Tesla PW, in combination with a Goodwe 6kw converter and a municipal prepaid meter connection?

Good morning all,

Thanks best regards
