Hi everyone! Got a question on force charge feature. Have a KH10 inverter with 4 EP11 batteries, and a set of solar panels.

My energy plan has a free period and a fixed feed-in tariff.

From my observation now, if I set a force charge period in the mode scheduler for the free period, after the batteries are fully charged, the inverter will continue to draw all the household power from the grid. It will not use the battery and the solar panels seems curtailed (showing 0 output on the app).

Is there anything I can do so that when the batteries are fully charged in the force charge period, it continues to sell power generated from the solar panels?

It would help if you can add a picture of your mode scheduler settings that you have to charge battery, and your quick settings page for after the charge period has ended.

Take today as an example, I scheduled force charge for 11am to 2pm (free period). Charging finished at 12am, and from 12am to 2pm, the solar output is 0 (being a sunny day) and home load is taken from the grid. Also attached the quick settings in force charge period after battery is full: What I want to achieve is: when battery is full in a force charge period, the system sells solar power instead of curtailing the solar panel.

The scheduler is as follows:
11am - 2pm: force charge for free electricity period
2pm - 7am next day: self use
7am - 11am: feed-in priority to sell solar generated power (was trying to force discharge the battery to sell more but seems there's another issue with force discharge similar to force charge: after battery reached min SOC set in the schedule, the inverter tries to power the home with grid instead of solar in force discharge period, which will be costly)

Good morning,

I can only give basic advice, on your schedule.

Slot 1, I would change FD Pwr from 0W to 10000W for your self-use period
Slot 3, Change your end time from 11:00 to 10:59
Slot 4, You could change this to feed-in, if the house needs battery it can take it, but it won't keep topping up the battery from solar


You could have other issues going on, so might need firmware update/reboot if scheduler is broken.
