Let's keep this pithy. I've had my EG4 18k PV for a little over 2 weeks now. I've had a great experience in comparison to the Sungold 8k so far, Signature Solar staff is prompt and knowledgable, but there is one giant gap I'm continuing to experience and i'm kind of astonished that it's caught Signature Solar tier 1 and 2 off guard. I've run the question past Markus @ eg4, but he's been out of reach for a week.
Desired State:
PV power to Loads
Excess PV to battery charge
Discharge only between 18:00 and 7:00
Any excess energy after PV can go to grid or not (I don't care).
I've tried every setting combination imaginable with and without Signature Solar's help...nothing changes the behavior below.
I'm on firmware FAAB 1919
Here's 2 different days below. I've tried using Forced Discharge schedules, and I've kept it simple and used no schedules. No matter what, the behavior of the discharge schedule is erratic. I've seen the old threads from last year complaining about problems around peak shaving...but I'm not trying to do anything special here...is the 18k pv capable of one discharge time per day? Or is it going to cycle back and forth between charge and discharge 50 times per day?
