SmartSolar throtteling despite AC and DC-coupled PV feed-in

Hi,

once my battery gets (nearly) fully charged, the two SmartSolars I have get throttled (the smaller earlier then the larger one). They do get back to normal production once I produce enough load (i.e. charging the car).

I assume my EkranoGX is somehow misconfigured. Please advise where I might be overlooking something.

ESS: both AC and/or DC-coupled PV feed-in are switched on.

Thanks

You know what they say about assuming.. :wink:
What battery do you have?
It is normal for batteries to need less power near top of charge, especially lithium batteries that lower the current limit.
If you don’t have other loads, solar will ramp down until needed or limits increase.
No demand = no supply.

To export chargers add a 0.4V offset and over voltage is needed to force feeding in.
You will need to go into more detail about your setup, it’s config, how its wired etc to dig into it deeper.
You can attach your remote config file here as well which makes it easier to check the inverter.

Thanks… here is the setup:

Site sits in Germany

AC:
all connected only via AC-In (Grid & Household incl one old StecGrid Inverter on the AC-side)

3x MultiPlus-II 48/5000 (3 phase)

DC:
2xGobelPower GP-SR1-PC200 Batteries (PaceBMS) and two SmartSolar (250/100+50/70)

Controlled by EkranoGX, SmartShunt, one VM-3P75CT for the grid-side measurement and one for the StecaGrid AC-Inverter production-side measurement.

Below is a quick glance at today.

Supply: Full uninterrupted sunlight. “Carport” / “Schuppen” are the SmartSolars that are in shadow until 10am. “Dach” is the AC-connected roof PV.
(The two lower graphs are the same, left one just isn’t stacked)

Demand: Car (“Wallbox”) started charging around 10:30 and I took it for ride between 12 and 1pm. Heating (2kw) ran from 8am to 1pm.

SoC & load on the demand side: You can see the battery was well capable of taking in much more beyond noon.

Happy to dive in more details.
