Hi there.
I am fairly new to solar.
I do have the FoxCloud 2.0 App and try to configure my system as follows:
Only charge battery from solar.
Never charge battery from grid.
If power is needed, use power from battery.
What happens is one of two:
Either I do not load battery from grid. Then it only charges from solar and never discharges (not lloking at the power the converter uses
Or I do load the battery from grid which I do not want. Why pay for loading the solar-battery?
Thanks for your help.

If the system has been installed correctly -
That operation requires no setting other than being in Self Use mode.
In Self Use mode:
That operation requires no setting other than being in Self Use mode.
In Self Use mode:
- Daytime with PV - PV goes to power the Load first (always), then to Charge Battery, any excess to Export
- Nighttime no PV - if the Batteries are greater than minSoC they will power the Load, otherwise the load will be powered from Grid
