Hi!
I have a solar array (13 500w panels) with Duracell 6kw inverter and 2 x 5kw battery storage. But I can't seem to figure out how to configure the use of my batteries as I'd like, and I need some help! I have the Dura-i app set up and can see my usage etc.
I can charge my batteries over night off the grid at a cheap rate, which is good. But when I set a discharge time in the app, it simply dumps all my battery energy back to the grid, as soon as that discharge window opens. If I don't have a discharge time defined I never consume the battery power...
I'd like to charge my batteries and then limit their use by the house only until, say, the last 30 mins of the premium sell window so I can sell my excess at the best time but having benefited from the cheaper energy I've stored before then ... Is that feasible?
Thanks in advance,
J
