Takeaways

  • 🔧 Start by accessing the 'advanced settings' on the inverter to configure the system for self-use.
  • 🔢 Enter the code '00101' to access the specific settings for self-use in the inverter.
  • 🇬🇧 Check the standard setting for 'UK G98' to ensure compatibility with the local grid standards.
  • 🔌 Ensure the 'backup disabled' setting if not using the backup port; otherwise, keep it enabled.
  • 🔋 Select the appropriate battery type, in this case, 'Pylon', for the setup.
  • 📏 Verify the meter type being used, either 'Acryl' or 'Eastron', and ensure it's correctly placed for grid connection.
  • 🔄 Set the 'storage mode select' to 'self-use' to optimize the system for self-consumption of energy.
  • ❌ Make sure the 'charge from grid' setting is on 'allow' to enable charging from the grid when needed.
  • 🛑 Set the 'self-use' mode to 'stop' if you do not want to charge from the grid or use time-of-use settings.
  • 🔄 Turn off other settings like 'backup' and 'off grid' to streamline the system for self-use only.
  • 👋 The script concludes with a reminder to ensure all settings are correctly configured and a sign-off.
