Operating Schedule Modes

Charge Modes

1. Charge at Full Power
   In this mode, the EMS will charge your battery at the maximum power capacity available.

2. Charge from PV Only
   The battery will charge as quickly as possible using only the power generated by your PV system. This ensures no energy is pulled from the grid for charging.

3. Charge from Export
   The battery will charge only from energy that would otherwise be exported to the grid.

4. Charge from Clipped Power
   The battery will charge as quickly as possible based on the clipped energy that is available from the PV system.

Discharge Modes

1. Discharge at Full Power
   The EMS will discharge the battery at maximum power.

2. Discharge against Imports
   The EMS will discharge the battery to reduce the amount of energy you need to import from the grid. It won’t charge the battery while in this mode.

Other Key Modes

1. Fixed Peak Shaving Threshold
   The EMS works to keep your energy usage below a specific demand threshold. When demand is below the threshold, the EMS may charge the battery. If demand exceeds the threshold, the EMS discharges to reduce peak demand. However, if the battery runs out of energy, peak demand cannot be reduced. If the threshold is exceeded, the EMS will continue to target the threshold for the remainder of the billing period.

2. PV Self Consumption
   This mode optimizes self-consumption of solar energy. The EMS charges the battery when solar energy is available and discharges it to minimize energy imported from the grid. The goal is to charge as much as possible from solar exports and discharge fully until no more grid imports are needed.

3. Idle/Off
   In this mode, the EMS will not charge or discharge the battery. It essentially remains inactive.
