Please go back and read the original post and my replies as you are focused on Peak discharge and the discussion is on Off-Peak recharge.
- Both Cost Saving and Balanced modes will power the house loads during the peak periods will 100% of the solar going to the grid which is what everyone agrees on should be done for maximum cost savings
- The Balanced mode will power the house loads at sunrise and recharge the PWs with the excess first and after the PWs are at 100% will send the rest to the grid which is what @RKCRLR and I want for maximum cost savings
- The Balanced mode will continue to discharge the PWs in Off Peak which neither @RKCRLR nor I want to have happen which requires more solar to be used for recharging due to 90% efficiency leaving less to be exported reducing cost savings through less exports
- The Cost Saving mode will recharge the PWs with 100% solar at sunrise and with the house loads imported from the grid which reduces cost cost savings through NBCs
I want to have 1 and 2 without 3 or 4. I can get there by going into the app twice a day to switch the mode and it can likely be automated through the API, but that requires a lot more effort than just providing more control in the app that anyone can select.
