Entering time period control for charging the battery-storage system
The time period control is only available for systems with Sunny Island, Sunny Boy Storage or Sunny Tripower Smart Energy.
It might make sense to charge battery-storage systems at defined times (typically at low tariffs at night) due to time-dependent electricity tariffs from the electric utility company.
The time period control for battery charging competes with the regular control of a battery or hybrid inverter. As soon as a time period for battery charging has been defined, the values energy self-sufficiency / self-consumption quota and self-sufficiency quota / self-consumption quota are therefore hidden in the energy balance of the system. Background: Due to set specifications of the battery charging power and time periods, it is likely that energy from the utility grid is also used for charging the battery. This can distort the above-mentioned values significantly and permanently. Should all time frames be removed at a later time, incorrect values might then be displayed.
You can specify time periods for several days as well as several consecutive time periods within a specific day.
Procedure:
- In the Time period area click on .
- Enter time interval (in 15 minute steps).
- Select the period for which this time interval shall apply.
- Enter the charging power in W.
- To enter another time period, click on again and repeat the procedure.
