1) Make sure you have the right battery selected on the inverter.


Advanced Settings (password 0010)->Storage Energy Set-> Battery Select


Set an Overdischarge SOC of 20% (value down to which the inverter will discharge the battery) and Forcecharge SOC for the battery of 15% (value bellow which the inverter will start charging the battery from the grid. 


2) Select the correct type of meter


Advanced Settings->Storage Energy Set-> Meter set->Meter Select->Single phase meter (Acrel) or Eastron single Phase meter


3) Set Storage mode to self use mode 


Advanced Settings->Storage Energy Set->Storage Mode Select->Self Use->ON 

Make sure the other modes are disabled


4) Enable charge from grid function


Advanced Settings->Storage Energy Set->Storage Mode Select->Self Use-> Charge from grid->Allow


4) Set time charging to ON - if the customer needs to charge the battery during lower tariff periods (for example during night time)


Advanced Settings->Storage Energy Set->Storage Mode Select->Self Use->ON-> Time of Use->Optimal income->RUN

Select a charging time to include the current time to start force charging the battery


Advanced Settings->Storage Energy Set->Storage Mode Select->Self Use-> Time of Use->RUN->Charging time


Usually you don't need to select also discharging time, just set discharging times to 00:00-00:00


5)After all, this is set, I suggest turning off a load and checking the inverter's behavior.
