Don't think my system produces enough during the winter to make TBS effectively save me money, so I have my system on Self-Powered mode.
Trying to figure out what my battery reserve level should be. Think I've read somewhere on this forum that the process of charging and discharging the the batteries is inefficient -- ie, 10kwh of charge translates to only 9kwh of discharge (or something like that). So then would it be best to keep the reserve at 100% and have any excess generation go to the grid? Also, is constant charging and discharging harmful to battery life, so it's better to keep reserve at 100% from that regard as well?
Sorry if these have been answered elsewhere, and thanks in advance for your response.
