    EV Wallbox - charging from off peak grid

    I contacted Solar and they told me to trick the battery into not discharging by setting Storage Mode to Time of Use (so set my off peak grid power time) and to set max battery charge at 100W (I think this is the minimum setting). The battery will not discharge if it is set to charge. That will...

    EV Wallbox - charging from off peak grid

    I have my system grid tied but have a SOFAR 6000 ES hybrid inverter and 2 x Pylontech US2000 batteries.

    Sofar Hybrid Inverter

    Hi Bravo6020 I have just installed a very similar system and have exactly the same question - at the moment I have nothing connected to the LOAD output. As I read that this was purely for the EPS function. And as my current house wiring cannot separate out "critical loads" I have left it...
