Matching battery usage to tariff
Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2025 2:46 pm
Hi there
I have a 9Kw PV with EVO 10 10Kw battery/inverter and I have just switched to a new tariff where the rates are
22.00-06.00 cheap rate
06.00-16.00 normal rate
16.00-19.00 peak rate
I want to schedule my battery on the Fox app to
Force charge from grid during the night 00.30-03.30 at the lowest tariff rate. I can then use PV and battery during the day. Any excess usage will be at normal rate, battery would fill before any export to grid from excess solar. How do I stop the battery from discharging during this period as self-mode would use battery before grid, thus draining it?
Force discharge from battery during peak rate of 16.00-19.00
Provided battery is full before peak period, I should never use the peak period pricing.
This is what I have set on Scheduler. Is it correct and if not, what do I change?
