Odd Power Distribution

[Steve777]

Trying to understand the power distribution the MN15 is doing with the setup I have in place. Here are the settings and what I am seeing:

In Self Consume mode. No timeslot active. Load was 2180w; grid was supplying 1515w; batt was charging at 1260w, PV was generating 1926w; and SOC was 97%. These numbers raise several questions:

1. Why in self consume mode was it pulling so much from the grid? Seems it should have not been charging the batt at all and putting that PV power to the load and making the difference up from the battery (~250w). The SOC at 97% is above the min SOC for when grid is on. This is what I would expect in self consume mode. Is this not right?

2. This time is in the high tariff period in our TOU billing. My expectations were to have no grid usage if possible, and I think these settings should have given that result, for these conditions at this point in time.  PV power and available Batt power is more than enough to cover the load requirements. Is that not what self consume mode does???

3. Is there a bug here, or is there another way to do the settings to get these results?

This situation is not a one off. I have seen similar instances many time over the last few weeks. That is why I wanted to ask MN if they know what is going on here.

Steve, have you received an answer or figured out what is going on? It doesn't account for the 1900+ w from the grid but make sure your "maximum consumption from grid" is set to the minimum of 30.

My system does some crazy stuff also. I'm on self consumption mode and my system will sell back to the grid while the batteries stop charging. Happens almost every day. My temp fix is to toggle the "charge from grid" button on for about 1 minute.

This activity is due to poor software on great hardware I expect.
