My Multiplus 2 is chasing loads when it is in dess idle mode due to peak shaving which can’t be disabled.
We don’t need peak shaving at all, the grid is sufficient enough for all our loads (40A main breaker).
So I would like to fully disable peak shaving, not only below minimum soc.

I’ll second this !

Anyone here ever figured out if there is any way to get around this?
I am getting extremely annoyed by it and it is wasting 20% energy doing it as well, loosing money while completely unneeded.
For example, at this moment energy prices are low + the sun is producing 2.8 kW. So i am feeding back to the grid already and am charging my battery storage as well.
When i turn on a water cooker the Victron stops charging and instead starts producing energy while it could just continue charging (i could use about 8 kw more from my solar and grid before its any problem). Then when the water cooker is turned off it goes back to charging. Basically wasting 20% energy in charge discharge losses for the water cooker on duration.
There is no need for peak shaving, energy prices are low, so charge so we can sell again this evening if profitable. This is all i want it to do
Commenting to give this more exposure, still the same behaviour where the inverter chases loads while it should be simply charging, and disabling peak shaving still seems to try and peak shave for loads above 50A when using a remote CT.
For my application I would rather the Multiplus operate as a load following inverter to handle the bulk of self consumption work, rather than worrying about whether the utility grid can handle starting up my workshop compressor (the grid can definitely handle it).
