Hi all,
I have a Solax X1 Hybrid inverter, 2 x Triple 45Ah batteries and 5KW of panels.
We have no feed in tariff here so I do not want to send anything out to the grid.
Settings are: Self Use, Export 0W, charge/discharge from 00:00-23:59
Batteries charge up fine during sunlight (well, to Max 98% for some reason) but when load is required over and above what the panels are putting out, the inverter always pulls the extra power needed from the grid when there are a couple of perfectly good and charged batteries installed.
Same overnight - obviously no PV power and all power is pulled from the grid and not batteries.
I initially had a problem with the CT meter (Installers installed the wrong way round) but I have fixed that now.
Any idea where I may be going wrong ? I have checked all settings without finding anything that has helped.
Thanks
Mark
