Why isn't there a start on charge function?
I would like to be able to only start charging each night once my batteries are down to 60% to allow sufficient capacity for my daytime solar charge.
Previous summers I have limited the charging time but that doesn't really solve my problem.
If I have missed a way to do this please advise,
You can use the 'scheduled charging' option and have it start every night, with a limit to charge to 60% SOC.
Thank you but that is stopping the charge.
I wish to start the charge ONLY after the level has gone down to 60%. I need the inverter to keep on working past the start of night rate at 1am and not kick in until 60% is reached. Then maintain until peak rate starts at 8am.
I am surprised that no one else has the same requirement.
At the moment if my batteries are full I may only go down to 85-75% from the time the solar stops.
Then the cycle starts again the next day and not only is power returned to the grid but my batteries are fuller than I would ideally like them to be for optimal life.
What was the outcome of this query? Did you manage to get the right settings?
