Hi all
I want to charge my battery during the night to 50% and allow my solar to charge the battery fully during the day.

I've set my system to Solar + Grid and successfully charged to 50% last night.

However, based on that setting the system will only charge to 50% on solar during the day.

Can I configure to allow the to charge on the grid to 50% and to charge to 100% on solar without changing the configuration each morning and evening?

DavidDarlo that setting should allow you to charge to 100% on solar, in winter I have that setting on for overnight charges and then whatever solar there is in the day charges more than that level

Thanks Cdent! Are there any good guides that I can use? I can only see 1 setting for Charging - this is a percentage. So for Grid or Solar I can only charge to that level.
e.g. if I set to 50 percent and have grid download between 2 and 3 am it charges to 50%
however the same percentage applies to my solar and i have to change the setting to allow it to charge about 50% in the day.

Here are my settings. I can only see one max charge level (currently set at 100%) for charging solar in the day. In the evening if I want to charge the battery from the grid I have to change that level to 50%.
If there was a setting for Grid max charge and Solar max charge that would be very useful.

DavidDarlo I think where that's happening is you're using settings that don't need to be changed. That's the remote control page and isn't something you'd normally use to set a charge schedule.

If you're using the portal go to My Inverter (on the left) > Settings > Timed Charge > Enable - set start & end times and percentage > Submit

On the App go to Cog at the top right > Charge Mode > Solar + Grid > set start & end times and percentage > Save.
