- Open the inverter's web page, at the inverter (see the WiFi guide) or remotely through Solar.web. The default password for Trentham customers is Password22.
- Go to Energy management, then Battery management, then Time dependent control, and press Add.
- Pick a rule: maximum or minimum charging power, or maximum or minimum discharging power.
- Type the power in watts, choose the times and the days, then press Add and Save.
Two common setups
- Hold the battery through a cheap midday window: maximum discharging power of 0 W, 10am to 3pm.
- Charge from the grid on free power: in SOC settings, tick Battery charging from other sources and pick the option with the public grid. Then add a minimum charging power above your inverter's size for those hours, such as 10,000 W on an 8 kW inverter.
