Peak load shaving

With the "Peak Load Shaving" function, you can optimize the behavior of the inverter with respect to the power exchange at the point of interconnection. This is mostly useful when a higher supply of energy would lead to a higher electricity cost. With peak load shaving, the inverter controls - depending on its output and, in systems with a battery, on the available battery capacity - to previously defined grid exchange capacities. Power peaks and additional costs can thus be avoided.

You can configure maximum values for the power drawn at the point of interconnection. When the loads require additional energy, the battery is discharged and the maximum value is kept constant at the grid-connection point. This is based on the prerequisite that the battery is sufficiently charged.

In addition to the inverter, an energy meter and a battery are required for operation.

The peak load shaving function in the inverter is not available if the inverter is operated in a system with the Sunny Home Manager. In these systems, the Sunny Home Manager takes over the function.
