I'm running a rather inefficient block home. At the present time I have 30KWH, and I shutdown at 7%, this generally occurs after 2200hrs. TOU is 1300-2000, and my usage/production generally flips around 1700, so I need at least 3 hours, it has lasted until 0100. If I don't charge my car and get good sun, I'm at 100% by 1230. My control computer only allows charging from 1130-1500 @4400KW, but if solar output dips during that time the batteries kick in a little from time to time to make up the difference and I may not get to 100%. So far so good. I may pick up the low cutoff, another point but I am deep cycling. I started by trying cutoff at 10%, then dropped it to 5 before tweaking it up to 7. My inverter will not kick back on until it's at 5% above the cutoff, so it's a bit of a game, that's generally before 0715. I'm just trying to maximize $ savings. Everyone has the "do this to save your batteries", but if I have '30' KWH, I want to be able to use close to that amount as needed. One of the things you have to consider is arguments like "I get twice as many cycles if I only use my batteries between 25% and 75%". Well yes, but you pushed the same number of watts in and out of the unit until it died, so that is a bit of a game as well. At some point I will be getting another 30KWH, but it will probably take 60 and 8 more panels to run overnight.
I have noted that the batteries struggle a bit more to provide output when below 10%. the 5-7 jump was pretty significant when my A/C cuts on. I'm staring at a Micro-Air, which I hope will improve things even more.
