I have a battery attached to each of my houses phases. 9.6kw solar panels south facing. The batteries always charge from the solar in the same order. Unfortunately the battery that drains most is the third one and I want it to charge first. How can I set this please?
haydenmorris not sure this is something you can set in the inverter or battery settings. It will depend on how your installer has connected everything together
What is the inverter product please and how is house wired?
What phases do what and is there any 3 phase equipment?
haydenmorris Can you restrict the charge rate on the other two? Not having a 3 phase setup I'm guessing but that's how I can get my iBoost to kick in earlier in the day when needed.
SilverArt clever idea, I will try that as my phases definitely aren't currently balanced. I need to do some monitoring and then get a spark to switch some things onto one battery / phase in particular that is under utilised. Thank you!
Cdent thanks for replying, appreciate your input
SteveCook it looks like one phase is particularly under utilised, I think I will aim to get the spark to balance the fusebpard out some more as that'll work.
so do you have 3 inverters and 3 batteries?
what products plz
haydenmorris Balancing the three phases might be useful, but your spark will have to consider how to comply with wiring regulations in your premises to avoid the possibility of being exposed to 415V (assuming this is your 3 phase line voltage) in a particular room.
If your inverters are arranged on each phase because you have a 3 phase solar inverter, you could consider having a changeover switch that disconnects the inverters from the light-load charge phase and connects it to the heavy-load phase when PV is low or demand is high? You'd have to double up on MCBs in the consumer units, but it'd also increase your ability to feed higher demand loads from multiple inverters on the heavy-load phase.
