[QUOTE="Chrisbee, post: 526213, member: 34814"] As a user, here is my experience. I'm at home all the time and had 4.5kwp of panels, a Solis 3.6Kw hybrid inverter and 4.8Kwh of Pylontech lipo batteries installed in February. Every morning the battery starts empty. (Actually 20% state of charge to look after the batteries). All draw is from the grid untill the sun comes up. The power from the panels grows until the middle of the day and then dies down over time until sunset. Any clouds moving across, cause big dips in output. So you can see there can be peaks and lulls randomly throughout the day. The inverter is constantly prioritizing where our power comes from, by the second. If the panels are producing more than we're using then all our draw comes from the panels and any excess is charging the batteries. If there's a dip in production then the batteries take over and supply us until the sun comes out again. That's assuming there is some charge in them. Most days this mix of use carries on and the batteries are full by the time the sun goes down and we get a few more hours from the batteries. On the best days we're still running from batteries when we go to bed. But that's not often. The inverter can only provide up to 3.6Kw. So if draw goes above that, the extra, and only the extra, comes from the grid. [/QUOTE]
