Why dess in green mode (no restriction) try sold all energy ? What about self-consumption ?
Dashboard 450916
It looks like it is using solar for your loads. It is charging the battery until it is full, then exports the excess when the battery is at 100%
In the top graph you can switch between System Overview and other modes to help understand further
From your graphs it looks like your batteries are at 100% and load is completely powered by solar.
Feed in prices are positive, so why wouldn’t the excess solar be sold back to the grid ?
I think he is referring to the schedule from 18+, where whole battery is basically discharged to grid.
You have to check prices for the next day - probably you can purchase energy until the next morning “cheaper” than what you get for the feedin from 18-21.
So, squeezing out everything and buying back (cheaper) is more cost-efficent.
Ah, yes.
In Green Mode, DESS shouldn’t even inject power from the battery into the grid.
Weird indeed.
Maybe OP isn’t actually in Green Mode ?
Etiher he isn’t in Greenmode - or Victron messed something up.
My DESS (Greenmode) today also made a lot of feedin from the battery, even tho the setting that “Feed in from battery is prohibited” is enabled…
Oh right, well spotted. I don’t take much notice of the future part of that graph as it never seems to do what’s there!
Now you mention that…
I did notice my Green Mode DESS seemed to ignore my Grid Setpoint (100W) and started to (almost) inject into the grid, even thought I’ve explicitly forbidden any export to the grid.
Not sure if Green Mode DESS ignores the Grid Setpoint and attempts to bring Grid consumption to actual zero, or if someone at Victron made an error somewhere.
We professional Software-Developer would call that an “Ooops”.
