This is something that has frustrated me since I installed then unit. The latest FoxCloud2.0 App is significantly more intuitive, and is much simpler to setup. But it does not work the way I want.
I want to Force Charge in the daytime when the input rate in very low. Where I live, the only cheap electricity is 11:00-16:00. Another reason to do this is to supplement a small (probably inadequate) 6kW of panels.
Here is my problem - during the Force Charge, when SOC reaches 100% it essentially switches off the panels, and powers the load from the battery. I would prefer that the system falls back to Self-Use after the battery is full, so that it power the load from solar if available.
Example:
Forced charge is configured 11:00-16:00
11:00 - Forced charge starts. It is a sunny day. Battery is at 50%. Panels are producing 6kw. Solar goes mostly to Load. Grid goes mostly to Battery.
13:00 - It is still very sunny. Battery is at 100%. Panels are producing 0kw. Solar stops. Grid stops. Battery powers the load.
16:00 - Forced charge stops. It is still sunny. Battery is at 90%. Back to Self-Use. Solar powers the load.
Result - 13:00-16:00 I have lost 3 hours of solar production
