Settings for forecast-based battery charging
Forecast-based battery charging is based on the production and consumption forecast of your smart home. The settings for charging a battery are only displayed for systems with a battery.
When using the function "Forecast-based battery charging" together with dynamic electricity tariffs, the optimization target of the system must be set to "Efficient".
Setting | Explanation |
|---|---|
Forecast-based battery charging | To create a battery-charging forecast for the next 48 hours, the Sunny Home Manager uses the current day and the two following days by default.( > Configuring the forecast-based battery charging) |
Required battery state of charge (SOC) in terms of forecast-based charging | Disables the forecast-based charging until the battery is charged to the specified % value (SoC = State of Charge). If this value is reached, the Sunny Home Manager enables forecast-based battery charging function. This configuration may lead to derating losses. |
Prioritized battery charging | If you activate this function, the battery charge is prioritized over an optional load that you have defined ( > Activating Prioritized Battery Charging). |
Shortened forecast period | Shortens the default forecast period from a maximum of 48 hours to the current day. This allows more PV energy to be loaded into the battery on the current day. This configuration may lead to derating losses. |
System with PV inverter and battery inverter or PV inverter and hybrid inverter
The forecast-based battery charging function ensures that the otherwise curtailed PV energy is stored in batteries when effective active power limitation is configured in the system.
