[QUOTE="Chrisbee, post: 526221, member: 34814"] Hi Andy1733 It's fully automatic. The batteries only receive a charge from the solar panels, they effectively "mop up" every scrap of excess production whenever panels are producing more than we're consuming. Then they fill in the gaps when solar production is less than we're using. On a bad day, today is a good example, they get little or no charge and are of no help. On a good day which has been the majority of days since install, there is enough excess that while going up and down through the day, they end up full by sunset and seamlessly supply us until they're down to the set 20% where the system protects them by swinging back to using the grid. In reality there are times when the house is using some solar and some battery at the same time, or some battery and some grid. The system is constantly doing it's best for us. Right now the house is using 560W. The miserable drizzly weather means the panels are only making 220W. Somehow the batteries have got up to 24% charge so are supplying the 340W difference. So a brighter period earlier today is effectively supplying some power now, via the batteries. I'll see if I have a screenshot of the inverter display and/or the monitoring app. [/QUOTE]
