Release notes -
Resolves an issue with low-voltage PV production that some users have reported
Resolves an issue with force discharge not kicking into self-use when reaching the FDSOC level

Hi Will,

I'm still seeing the PV production issue, it now appears that no production is being logged below 250W. Have you seen any improvement at all?

I also seem to still only see proper generation from 200w

"Resolves an issue with force discharge not kicking into self-use when reaching the FDSOC level"

a number of us in Australia are still reporting this issue.

I'm on 1.55 Master and 1.58 ARM now and I'm seeing PV production down in the ~140W range in heavy cloud cover (70-80W on each of two strings). Perhaps it's resolved in this release instead?

Hi will I can report that the self use doesn't work after a firmware upgrade.
I have upgraded but the fdsoc is hit and my inverter goes to grid.

Is there an known issue with this firmware combination for kh10.5's

Manager 1.55
Slave 1.02

Can also confirm this does not seem to be fixed in 1.55 Master / 1.54 Manager.

Fox support in AU have told at least 1 person that this is a "feature" and is working as intended.

In case there is any doubt, nobody wants it to work this way. Stopping all battery consumption is what the "Min SOC on grid" option in the schedule is for. The end result is that after force discharge you start consuming from the grid at what is likely the most expensive time of the day (otherwise you wouldn't be force discharging!).

I agree with everything Jammin said. This is a bug that needs to be fixed

Same problem after a Firmware update from 1.52 - 1.55
