Why is my battery charging from Grid at this time (peak hours) ? it went through a calibration cycle so it discharged and now its filling itself up from the grid, and part solar. how do i stop that?

ps: i just commissioned got the inverter today (Inverter Firmware Version
D0.393-A0.393)

this doesn't make sense, when my consumption is lower than solar output, why is the battery withdrawing the balance from the grid?

Calibration includes a full charge. Sadly can't be timed. You might be able to slow it down via charge rate settings, but probably too late now as guessing the sun has mostly gone.

TX200 ohh no, so this will happen again when the inverter and battery firmware is upgraded.. they should have a write up saying battery will discharge and charge forcefully to 100% ... it was just making me nervous for no reason !

it will show in the inverter tab of the webpage /cloud when available.

deepanshus If you look at the "update firmware" section of the "software" tab on the inverter card, it does tell/warn you that a battery calibration run will happen after a firmware update.

wilfleek my firmware is showing as below and no entry for "Last Update Time"

Inverter Firmware Version
D0.393-A0.393

Battery Firmware Version

Does this look latest?

It looks like the latest version of the battery firmware aside from the beta testing.

Not sure on the inverter front I’m afraid.
