Export mode

Today at 4pm the price of outgoing energy increased so I wanted to export the max 5kw my system can invert

The problem is that if I choose Export mode it empties the battery at the full 2.6 kw and clips the solar which was at 4kw, which means wasted energy!

I would love a mode that simply maxes out export using the priority:

House demand
Remaining solar to grid
Battery to grid to top up to the 5kw limit
Stops when battery is at a set level to keep enough for overnight use

Can this be done with current configurations? If not could it be implemented? I can do this manually by limiting the battery discharge rate but it’s inaccurate and life’s too short…

Thanks

CARLMW i think this is actually the firmware bug i reported last June that is yet to be fixed. Its just in my case the other way around:

If i pull more than 5kW on my hybrid it sets the battery discharge to max but trims the solar output down (even if its just about enough to cover) so you stay under 5kW in total. Very annoying.
