This one is a bit hard to explain, but I will try.
Previously when I selected the ESS mode optimise with battery Life and selected 50% the inverter would run off the batteries until it hit 50% and then it would supplement the grid power to whatever current usage I was having. This also was true when solar started to be generated. The grid would slowly back off as the solar started generating.
But two days ago it changed now. The system always is using grid and it is also putting approximately 1 1/2 kW of charge into the batteries constantly. This includes when the solar starts generating the grid is still prioritised over the solar consumption
This is really doing my head in and if anyone can help me sort of explain what’s going on would be much appreciated
Because basically what’s happening is with any of the ESS settings except for external control. I will go to bed and the battery is at 55% and I’ll wake up and the battery is 3/ quarters charged which is silly because then the solar starts coming in and I can’t utilise the solar.
My system is a Victron multi RS solar x3 with a ekrano gx
Here are some screenshots of what’s happening
This shows greet is supplying the load and also providing charge to the batteries, which is what I don’t want to do
I tried to add another link to show the below statementAs you can see here at about 6 o’clock on this day, it went from behaving how I wanted to to This irregular charging of the batteries
Sorry, I’m only limited to 2 links per post
Thank you
