Interesting thought. But I assume it wouldn't then see import, to which it responds to nullify?
There is a setting in the inverter that the Solaredge 'setapp' can change to switch on/off A/C side charging, but that's for installers. I could ask mine to make that change in late Mch(ish), and maybe back again in Sept(ish), but even my OCD brain says there are 'sensible limits'. 😉
Monster generation day here, looks like a Wink and a half.
