[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1158231, member: 746"] Newer inverters (Kodak, DEYE) have a "blending" system whereby solar and battery power is used when available to augment mains electricity From about 10h00 to 16h00 the (10) solar panels generate 900 watts. The house uses between 300 and 600 watts, so some of the balance is used to charge the batteries. The pre-paid meter hardly registers at this time Before 10h00 and after 16h00 I see from the inverter's display that ii is drawing from both mains and battery power. This continues until it is dark at 19h00 or so, when it is completely on mains Configuring all the parameters offered by the inverter took some time since there are at least 5 different setting locations which allow charging or load priorities I think your query would be best answered by submitting this on the Power Forum. There are numerous very talented people there, both in SA and Australia who will have had the same experience as you and they can put their finger on it. Mention the make and model of your inverters [/QUOTE]
