So I somehow managed to get my Megarevo in to peak shaving mode and it's been operating as expected! I'm only a tad surprised. I know I need a bigger battery, when it tried to pull more than 4kw from the battery my cell voltages drop too low and bms cuts out. Would be nice if there was a discharge limit but doesn't appear there is.
My CT's are measuring so that I'm pulling 100-500w from the grid. I actually don't mind feeding a little to the grid if needed but would rather not sit at 500w coming in. It's possible the reason is I've got 4 ct's connected. I have an an electrical panel for solar and one for the house. Each have a home run back to the meter. So I have a CT at the Solar Electrical Panel and at the Load electrical panel in parallel with each other so they cancel each other out. But they probably aren't playing 100% nice with each other. It would be cool if I could introduce an attenuator maybe or a booster to manually adjust them. I could tune them to show the same as my sense energy monitor sees and then verify that against my utility portal. It seems to stray further as I'm using more power. Which might mean that Megarevo thinks it's putting more power to the grid than it is. aka the solar ct reading high.
I know there are a lot of very technical people here, curious if my idea is crazy or plausible. Or perhaps I should start buy purchasing four of the same brand/model of CT! Hmm that would probably be the simplest solution. I'm going to hit submit on this post anyway in case the bigger brain trust has a better idea.
Edit: The first image is when I'm using about 4600w and solar/battery is providing about 500w less than that. You can see in the other screenshot the difference is smaller. These screenshots are from my Sense energy monitor which has ct's at the same places as the Megarevo. Running out of space for CT's...
