Sorry if this is a stupid question but my system only seems to allow charge / discharge the battery at a rate of 2600 W ?
I see no option to change this level.

I have 14 x 390 w solar panels which can generate at peak 4600W.
A gen1 5kW inverter and a 9.5kWh battery...

It means at peak generation / peak usage I am still ending up exporting / importing to/from grid .

Seems like an odd bottlenck as my Hyundai can happily take 7kW via my podpoint .

Gen 1 battery has max charge / discharge rate of 2.6kw. Gen2 is 3.6kw.

skinnerneil If you go to the Cog in the app (Top right). Are you able to adjust the "Charge Power" settings?

I appreciate the answer - I will ask my installer what the cost might be to upgrade to the GEN2 inverter (and then weigh up if worth it or not)
