Hi all, I hope you are well, I’ve just had panels installed and they set it up so the battery charges overnight off the grid. However if I know the following day will be sunny I would rather it charges then off the panels. Any idea how to change when the battery is set to charge?
Many thanks!

Just set the system to eco in the web portal or on the app -charge mode - solar and grid -then also set up a timed charge for the period you wish.
Neil Hapgood sounds like they set "Timed Charge" for overnight. Go into the portal, Inverter > Settings, ECO mode should be ON, and disable the Timed Charge.
That said, depends on your tariff and export prices. For example, I am on Octopus Flux. Regardless of weather, it charges my battery to 90% every night, because its £0.20 kWh, which means in the morning I will charge to 100% much quicker, and get exporting quicker, which in the morning is £0.25 kWh - it ends up being much more beneficial to charge during the night, whatever the weather.
