I have set forced charge and discharge schedules......

There is an option under "After Discharging cut-off" for
Self-Use.........Feed-in.........Priority.........Back Up.........Standby

whats the difference between self use and standby
thanks

This being Fox we have to work this out for ourselves, sadly i've got a gen 1 inverter and don't get any of these options - but from what I have been able to work out from others Standby holds all battery activity so it will not charge or discharge, whereas Backup will hold discharge activity but will allow charge from solar.
Self Use will operate as normal, charging from solar if available, powering the house if not (and battery above minsoc)
