Still fairly new to this PV but getting there
Thing is how do I set the inverter times when I want to sell to the grid at 4.00pm till 6.00pm
I have tried with the foxess cloud but don't know what I am doing really so have been unable to do it
I am on Octopus Flux and am topping up batteries cheaply at night then if I could use the option to sell in the evening i would if any one can help that would be great.
I have got 16 panels 6.4kw with12kw batteries I know the inverter is 3.7kw but its fine I can handle the clipping in the summer months so maximize
what I can in winter I also have a further 2.5 kw array of 5 panels that can be added in at times of low consumption to increase yield when the sun isn't shining
Thanks Paul

Just a quick question to start, only the very latest firmware has the option to discharge the battery to the grid and it's only been released a week or two - do you have that ?
If you look in the app on the real time data screen and click 'Version' at the bottom - you are looking for Manager and Master
The Manager would need to be at V1.70 and Master 1.63 to have the battery force discharge - if you do, I have linked you to Tony's page below as he has written this up already (thanks Tony
.)

If you don't have those versions, contact your installer or Foxess and ask them to do a firmware update to these versions.

I can confirm this works on the H1-5.0-E aswell. I emailed Fox and asked for the newest firmware and they updated it to Manager v1.70 and Master v1.63 and the feature works as hoped.
I was still running very old firmware (v1.46) so the inverter is working a bit more efficiently aswell (consuming around 30w instead of 60w before) so if you're on old firmware it would be a good idea to update even if only for that.
