PV during Force Charge and Force Discharge
Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2026 5:08 am
During force charge, if the Max SoC is reached the PV output reduces to zero until the end of the period.
Similarly, during force discharge, if the forced discharge cutoff SoC is reached, the PV output is zero until the end of the period. In both cases any available PV is not being sent to the house load and/or grid. This is particularly bad during force charge becasue you will start using grid power for your load instead of the PV. Is there anyway to prevent this behaviour?
Also is it possible to set a level during force discharge which will not start unless the SoC is above a certain level. That way I can make sure by limiting the force discharge power that the cutoff SoC is never reached?
