We just got our battery installed this week, have had the panels and the inverter for a few months, I guess from the postings a lot of people were also waiting on batteries 🙂
I'm trying to work out what my settings are as when I scroll through, everything is disabled yet the system seems to be charging the battery and using it to supply load to the house. It's just a little weird as it seems to be exporting a little bit at odd times. Is there any sort of beginners guide or best practices setup I can look at? I just want to minimise my costs with minimal import i.e. let the batteries fill the holes in the sunshine. I am on a reasonable fixed rate tariff for another year or so, any help or pointers much appreciated, I'm even up for some code if it could help!

Tim ok, thanks I did see that but before I just switch to Eco, I wondered what the system is supposed to do if none of the defaults are enabled as it seems to be working to charge the battery etc. what difference will Eco bring?

ted I think your inverter may be in ECO by default
