Does anyone have any recommendations for the best settinga for a solar and battery arrangement?

At the moment I am simply running in Dynamic mode, as previously using smart tariff and priorities the battery for peak hours usage led to discharge to grid frequently.

I am happy with the dynamic mode, but would like to automate an "Afternoon" charge period on top of overnight, if the battery isn't at 100% by 4pm. Currently I am doing this manually.

The only thing putting me off moving the system out of dynamic mode, is each time I have, my battery started emptying to grid overnight.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to do anything complicated and don't want to do it manually, then you're probably best looking into automation e.g. Home Assistant - have a look at some of the other threads on that subject via the search.
