Proritising solar over grid in a hybrid set up

I have an easy solar 48/5000/70, mppt 150/100. Lithium battery and 12 panels. It seems that the system selects grid first and also scales the PV output down when the battery is full. I would rather use the PV than grid. How do I set the system so that solar is prioritised?

Hi Bronwyn,

There are several ways to control the behaviour of the AC input on our inverter chargers.

The best thing to do would be to talk to a local installer.

Depending on your location, you may also like to start reading about our ESS system, this sounds like it may do what you want. Again, a trained local installer is strongly recommended to help set this up:
