Hi all,

For the last three days now my battery settings have been changing from charge from solar only to solar and grid. The battery is then charging from the grid at around 3am. Also, a timed discharge is being set for the afternoon. I have not been changing to these settings as I just want my system to run on Eco mode. Every morning I am resetting the inverter to default but still at some point it reverts back to the ones I don't want. I have restarted my inverter which hasn't helped. I have uninstall and reinstalled the App which also hasn't helped.

Has anyone had experiences of this happening before.

Thanks in advance.

Is the battery trying to do a calibration cycle?

IainD Have you got Octopus (or any other energy supplier) automations set? That's the only thing I've heard of changing your settings. If disabling any set automations doesn't sort it out, try Reset to Default on the Portal - My Inverter - Settings (ie www.givenergy.cloud)

Hi, I am having the opposite problem where I have set my battery to only discharge from the start of peak time (5pm) but is continues discharge outside this time. I have raised this issue in the feedback section but am not getting any response. Almost sounds like my changes are affecting your battery????????

decoyvilla I assume you want to make use of your battery for supplying grid when prices are high, but not to power your home otherwise? To power the home from battery/PV and to charge the battery from PV, set the inverter to ECO mode on the web portal (not the app).

If you don't want the house load to be fed from battery/PV (as you seem to want), disable ECO mode in the portal (you have to press submit after you've moved the slider).

Thanks Tim, have just done that now, so fingers crossed.
