I have 3x ES5000 and 30k EG4 batteries. I have fine tuned everything to my liking over a year. The last thing that bugs me that I haven't found a solution for is battery drain with full sun. On a sunny day my batteries are full by 1-2pm. Lots of sun left. The moment they hit 100% it switches to float (I assume) and runs the house from sun but the batteries immediately start to drain at roughly 4% per hour. So by 5pm when there is no longer enough sun to run the house the batteries are already down to 88%. What I would like to happen is to hold the batteries ate 100% as long as there is enough sun to power the house. That 12% loss is enough to run my house for 3-4 hours at night unless I'm using a lot of heat or cooling.
I am aware that es5000 are really bad about idle consumption but should the be draining the batteries with full sun?
