EG4/Megarevo Self Consumption at night

[Lt.Dan]

Hey guys, does anyone running the EG4 / Megarevo 8k know how to achieve the wild 5w of claimed self consumption in the v1.5.0 manual? This particular install I'm working on will have a lot of idling with no load and this would be great.



@Markus_EG4 I know you've helped quite a bit with getting these stable, and releasing the firmware updates, do you know by chance?

The controller itself pulls about 18W without the inverter on. They use about 75W no load with the inverter on.

Yes, I have confirmed that with certainty. So what does "self-consumption at night" mean at < 2.5w??

@SignatureSolarJames any info or someone else that might be able to chime in?

Straight from the engineer who developed the inverter and software

I see so its just referring to idle consumption from the battery, where the rest (75-80w) could come from the grid.
