No solar generation during export
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2026 7:43 am
Yesterday I joined an Octopus saving session and trialled an export schedule as I'd not tried one before. I've posted in another thread about power drawing from grid after desired SOC achieved but I also noticed that during the scheduled export, my solar generation dropped to 0 only resuming after. Now I'm not quite sure whether it resumed after SOC was achieved or after I reverted to self use because as soon as I noticed I was at desired SOC and was drawing from grid, I switched the schedule off.
My question is why did the solar generation switch off and how do I avoid it doing that in future.
Below are my readings including 1 before and after the schedule was running.
Grid Export(kW) Battery Charge(kW) Total Load(kW) Solar(kW) Battery Discharge(kW) Grid Import(kW) SoC(%)
