Custom Season

In the Self-consumption mode, users can set a battery charging/discharging plan to optimize the energy usage and management. With properly set battery charging/discharging windows, the system maximizes the use of PV output during on-peak hours and reduces the energy purchased from the grid during off-peak hours, thus lowering the electricity costs.

Steps

  1. Select months for the current season. Users can set different seasons according to the energy demand and seasonal changes of each quarter.
  2. Select the days on which the battery charging/discharging plan applies.

    You can apply the Peak shaving limit/Feed-in peak power to every day, or set different charging/discharging plans for weekdays and weekends respectively. The plan applies to every day by default.
    • Every Day: The set Peak shaving limit/Feed-in peak power applies on all days. This mode is suitable for scenarios where the daily energy demand is relatively stable.
    • Weekdays & Weekends: Set different Peak shaving limit/Feed-in peak power respectively for weekdays and weekends.
  3. To add more seasons, tap to the right of the default season name and select Add.
    Note: You can select a season and tap to modify its name or delete it.
  4. Tap a time period on the Peak shaving limit and Feed-in peak power column, a new discharging window will be created (1 hour by default). Then, drag up and down to adjust the length of time, and tap on the window again to add it.
    Note: The time bands for Peak shaving limit and Feed-in peak power supply can overlap.
