Hi

I'm trying to configure my soliscloud solar panels to discharge between 10pm and 11pm

It kinda works but I don't see the export

Before the discharge I was using 400w

With the discharge it jumped to to 2.6kw from the battery

But the export says 283w and the house seems to be using 2.276kw
Whereas it should be exporting 2.2kw and house using 400w

Also with the help of AI it says I should see the A-- value on the smart meter increase but yesterday it didn't. I can check again tomorrow.

Maybe I'm getting the export, just not sure!

I'll try upload an image1000042463.webp

Doesn't seem to be going into the grid alright. Would it be possible that the discharged energy is being fed into some other load such as an EV?
 
You (or another less energy sensitive household member ;)) didn't happen to put on a dishwasher, tumble dryer, immersion, electric heater, power shower or anything like that at the time? There is dip in load there which coincides with a small spike in export, so it seems like the battery is exporting at a fairly even rate and it's the destination that's changing.

Good point. But I did check and I don't think so.

It's due to export again this evening, I'll keep an eye again.

I did check the A-- reading on the smart meter
Are you familiar with that?

It was 726 few days ago

It's now 727
So if that's what esb are basing my exports on then I didn't get anything from the discharge

Same as before
Grid getting .204kw

Battery discharging 2.569 kw
And house appears to be taking 2.367kw

Weird

Is it possible the grid is taking 2.1kw
And crediting me 10% of the value? .204kw?

It's important to note that your solis app only represents a snap shot in time. It isn't a live representation of what you're importing/exporting. I recommend to check your inverter screen for that information.
 
Despite the installers showing me (briefly) how to operate the Soliscloud app...... I haven't a clue about it. I'm probably not using the system to my best advantage :(
 
Yess
That's it

So how to fix that?

You can set the Eddi to not draw from the battery so best to check out a few Youtube videos to show you. I can't post links either yet.

Sorry but new posters can only post once an hour so I had to wait to post back.
 
Still looking for a way to automatically disable eddi
Didn't find one yet
What I have done, for the experiment is manually switched it off with the rocker switch
