[QUOTE="binky, post: 513819, member: 490"] sounds like they initially had the 'amp clamp' on backwards, hence the battery wasn't charging when it should be. Not discharging from the battery overnight sounds like they havn't set the battery 'mode' to self consumption. There's usually several different modes you can set the battery to work to, one mode is self consumption, ie use as much leccy yourself as possible. Another common mode maintains a level of battery charge to allow the battery to be used in the event of a grid failure to power key items, like your fridge or freezer, sonds like they have set it to this mode, hence the battery not discharging overnight despite having some charge in it. Most batteries have a wifi link and a battery 'portal' or phone app that should show exactly what mode you are in, and energy distribution ie energy from panels, current useage, energy being fed to battery / battery supplying energy to your house etc etc. Hopefully your installer has left you with this app to study?
