Mode 3 made sense for winter months as I have night rate electricity, so the battery was charged at night rate, and discharged then once day rate kicked in an no pv available. Mode 2, pretty much turns off AC charging completely, which makes sense in the longer days we are having now.

Shefwedfan wrote: » I have no idea....sorry I think I have Mode 2 set on my system: This mode designed to balance the use of PV during the day and battery to supplement when the PV is insufficient. The aim is to be grid neutral and priorities the home load from any source and uses the grid as a last resort. This mode does not use supplemental AC charging overnight.
Zardaz wrote: » Depends - if you are managing that many cycles just from sunshine, it might mean that your charge/discharge rate (in amps) is relatively high, so the battery will wear out faster. Perhaps you are doing an overnight cycle, charging from night rate, and discharging in the morning? Perhaps you have an immersion diverter, that is sucking from the battery instead of just using excess juice from the panels?

Our battery is fully charged by 2pm most days and we exported 30kW to the grid (no FiT) which isn’t too bad. We’ve only had it three months so we’re still learning how to make the most of it. South Dublin, 5 panels SE and 5 panels SW at a 26 degree tilt, 3.1kWp.
