The winter was very bad, almost none wind so one fixed high dynamic energy price based on neutral gas.
Best would be in this case to turn off the inverters to avoid consumption losses.
The green but also trade mode was useless this winter,…
How long do you have the system running?
I agree, the winter was not good. Well, not for trading. For in lowest hours charging and then own consumption in the expensive hours it worked fine, I think.
Got it running from 17 feb 2025.
Dynamic contract zonneplan from aug 2025.
Last 12 month energy cost with neutral gas in type F house 8 solar panels solar collector and 800l storage.
125 euro that is 10,50 euro/month
Heath pump not yet running so I did use neutral gas past 12 month.
Ah OK. Here 22 panels since febr 2023, later 8 more, dynamic a month later (anwb). The victron installation since Dec 2025, plan for a boiler, and in the end also a warmtepomp. But that last, don’t know. Quite costly.
We have floor heating (Cv) in the whole house below, since 2 years we only use that a few hrs during the night, and when it wax really cold also in the evening. Further heating with the airco.
Our house, label, if I don’t look at the panels and the new triple glass it will be simular I think. And the new glass is really good. But the alloy.. Eh…kozijnen. No clue. Still transfer a lot of cold, in winter.
Do you always see this behavior?
Strategy is only based on known day ahead prices and this strategy can change if the new day ahead prices are published (somewhere 14:00).
@dognose any news on this issue? I see it’s doing this again today. And tomorrow, with extreme differences between lowest and highest prices it should really sell at the correct time..
Just use trade mode if you want to get the highest profit.
The same issue here. DESS seems always one hour late. I checked the timezone and location. Maybe there is another hidden time setting.
No, dognose already said it was programmed like that. Only why.. No idea!
Hello, still waiting on a reply from @dognose in my topic about Dess selling too late. Something about the pv. But now, tomorrow it is going to sell one hour too early. Please fix these time issues..
A reminder about our guidelines:
It is not an Official Ask Victron site, for that please use the normal line of support.
I wished I could. My installer then says, please use the victron community. But Dognose promised me to let it look at.
Should be their responsibility, they were paid to handle things (and sold you the idea).
More accurately he said it would be passed onto the team that handles it. So it is mostly out of his hands.
For now patience is the key. It may not be a simple as it seems on the surface.
Hi,
Yes exactly, I created an Issue for the scheduler team to look at that. Everything more is outta my hands, i’m afraid.
Never the less, hope it gets fixed, if they can identify an Issue.
