DESS without solar

Hi, is DESS usable without solar?
I did turn it on, but the Battery is not being charged even tough the Price is low. 0.02€ and the SOC is 27%. Should it not charge if price is low and use battery if price is high?

ESS isn't supported without PV, though you can install it to access the mechanisms it provides.

I have asked for clarity, I am not sure if this scenario was considered or not.

Feedback is as expected. In theory it should work without PV but this was not tested so may not work as desired.

Ok thanks, I will give it a try. Is there any way to report my experience with it to improve DESS without solar?

I use DESS with dynamic pricing and without solar for a month now.

I found it to work well, and after a month my energy bill was € -24 :-) while consuming 150kWh

Any tips? Because I am seeing the same issue as OP - it just runs the battery down and stops! Thanks
