Hi all,
I try to get my charging and discharge fine-tuned.
What I want is all generated power from panels being used first in the house. If there is more, it has to go battery.
When the battery is full, power still being used for the house first and the rest goes to the grid.
Rainy day or just using power more than panels are giving, power from battery is going to house and not or hardly taking from grid (I know it is sometimes using a bit from grid)
At night, after 02:00 until 06:00 the battery get charged to the % I set in Time charge, so time charge setting is enabled and set to 02:00 until 6:00.

I disabled the Eco setting.
I enabled the time charge with the times above.
Time export is disabled.
Software version D0.449-A0.449

So, power from panels go home first, then to battery and then to grid.
No sun? House is draining battery until the set minimum % after that still nothing from solar it takes from grid.

Is this the way to go?
Thanks, Rob

JustUsNZ No. ECO mode will do exactly what you want. If you need to charge your batteries, set a timed charge but just leave the inverter in ECO mode all the time. Ensure all other timed settings are disabled and the system should do exactly as you want.

You should reset to defaults first. Then set ECO then set your Charge Time and Level.
