I'd be interested to read suggestions/advice as to the best strategy to run my system if away from home for 2-3 months (May onwards)
Virtually nothing would be consuming power other than the inverter.
I have SEG and incoming power with e.on next gen.
If I leave settings on self-use the battery will be almost always at 100% and PV will be almost exclusively export. I don't think that would be best for the battery?
7 x440w PV
FoxESS EP11.
Thanks.
Get the battery SoC down to around 50% then set your system to 'feed-in' mode whilst away.
This should keep the battery in a more stable SoC (they arrive with around 50%)
Any PV will power the home base load, and export the rest. Monitor system remotely, and if the SoC drops (overnight) then either set work mode to 'self-use' for a bit to get the SoC up/charge from grid for a short time (if you have cheap import rate)

Unrelated to your PV question, but make sure you have considered if your home insurance covers you for absences of your intended leave.
Thanks Grumps -important point. The last insurance policies we've had stipulated a maximum of 60 days. An increase on that duration subject to insurance approval or the house being occupied for a couple of days per additional week eg family staying.
