Maximum Self-Consumption (Discharge allowed when battery SOC is over 80%)
|
Use when electricity prices are average:
- Use photovoltaic power first, then battery power. The battery can only discharge to 80% SOC.
- The grid will compensate if loads need more power supply.
- 80% battery SOC reserved for peak price periods.
Battery charging source: Photovoltaics.
