In the video below, Victron explains how the "Sustain" feature works to prioritize solar over shore power. A friend of mine is starting a van build and asked about a way to prioritize solar input over alternator input. Is that possible in the Victron landscape?

 
I have this enabled and it basically leaves the battery at certain percentage then uses solar for DC and shore for AC, to maximize efficiency. If solar puts the battery above the limit itll lower/stop the shore.

This is an option in the inverter settings and I don't see anything in Cerbo for it. I'm wondering if its in the XS settings.
