I am very new to Solar power, we have an Easysolar 5000/48 connected to 3.3kw array charging lead carbon batteries, we are currently using a Honda EU20i generator to top up batteries after a number of cloudy days (I have used VE Config to limit gen charge current to 10% below gen max output) I have noticed that during bulk charge phase with SOC of 91% the controller seems to be prioritising input from the generator over input from the PV in the latest occurence, generator input was showing 1884w with battery current at 29amps and AC load 168w, PV array input at zero, winter sun at zenith, clear skies, although cloud had been intermittent through the day (and cloud for 2 days prior, hence generator)
Does anyone have any insight as to what might be causing this, is there a config setting I've missed. We are completely off grid and totally reliant on pour solar system, Victron support is difficult and expensive to get. Many thanks for your contributions.
Cheers
Pete
