Yesterday DESS reserved 25% of the battery for a discharge at 07:00 and 08:00 the next morning, but instead of that it took all of the solar power for that time frame and started charging the battery.

At 09:00 it then started to discharge the battery to the grid for a while.

I’ve seen this a couple of times already, and this doesn’t make sense from a trade perspective.
