How does the Time of Use Mode Work?

Time of Use Settings and Working Strategy

App Schedule Settings	Energy Pricing	Strategy	When and How to Use
Peak	Peak Price	Maximum Self-Consumption	Use when electricity prices are high: Use photovoltaic power first, then battery power. When solar and battery power are less than the load, the grid compensates to supply power. Battery charging source: Photovoltaics.
Middle Peak
Off Peak	Flat Price	Maximum Self-Consumption (Discharge allowed when battery SOC is over 80%)	Use when electricity prices are average: Use photovoltaic power first, then battery power. The battery can only discharge to 80% SOC. The grid will compensate if loads need more power supply. 80% battery SOC reserved for peak price periods. Battery charging source: Photovoltaics.
Super-Off Peak	Valley Price	Time-of-Use	Use when electricity prices are low: Allow the grid to charge the battery. Charging power is adjusted automatically based on battery SOC and available charging time from the grid. Battery charging sources: Photovoltaics, Grid.
Notes: The grid is only allowed to charge the battery during the Super-Off Peak schedule. Select this schedule in the app. The app schedule has four electricity price options. Please select a mode that best fits your energy needs. You can refer to the table below.

Grid Electricity Schedule Settings

2	Peak	Peak	Choose Peak when energy prices are high. Choose Super-Off Peak when energy prices are low.
2	Super-Off Peak	Valley
3	Peak	Peak	Input the highest electricity price as Peak to correspond with peak prices. Input the lowest electricity price as Super-Off Peak to correspond with valley prices. corresponding to valley price. Input the median price as a peak or flat price. If you want your battery to discharge when SOC is under 80%, choose Middle Peak as a peak price. If you want your battery to not discharge under 80%, choose Off Peak as a flat price.
