Hello, I've had my system since January and am 99% happy with it but this is driving me nuts. It feels like there should be a way to do this but I can't get it. Has anyone figured this out?
I have 12KW of LG Bi Facial panels on a white roof and it is producing way more than expected. It;s cool, clear and they are new panels so maybe none of this matters in time but I am running up against the 9K limit of the Sol-Ark by 10:30 AM or so. If I could NOT charge the batteries until later in the day, I could utilize more of the 12K but I am stumped as to how to make that happen. In the 1st picture, I have circled what I am talking about. As soon as the batteries are full, it drops down to below 9K 6+ hours. Currently using Limit to Home and Solar Sell but I feel like I tried all of the other combinations. In the 2nd picture, as a proof of concept, I sold power before got to 9K so I had somewhere to go with the extra and you can see that it works, but then I produced less while I was selling so that didn't help any. I've done this before on a clear day and have seen over 11K. Tell me I am silly for worrying about his clipping and I'll "try" and forget about this
I have plenty of batteries and extremely low usage so I am not real concerned with the state of charge so I have a lot to play with. On a typical night I am only down to 65% when I start producing again in the morning. I hope this makes some kind of sense, it does in my head.
Open to any ideas and thanks! (note that I removed some of the overnight data from the pictures just to make them clearer)
