Solax Battery User Mode

Peak usage after solar with Solax X1 Boost 3.6 kW solar only inverter was approx 375 kWh, now with battery system Peak 20 kWh and Off-Peak usage 350 plus for EV charging and 100% battery charging during Octopus Go Off Peak.  Tariff 43p Off Peak 7.5p till September 2023.

Hopefully more longer days with solar energy to reduce the Off Peak consumption 
by reducing battery charging on Force Time Use to change to Self Use and rely only on solar to charge batteries and HW with iBoost.

Today batteries recharge from solar from 75% at 1000 hrs to 100% till 1700 hrs.
iBoost took 5kW to state Hot Water

Considering all the snow early morning 
and sun coming out, clouds still about manage 12.3 kWh

Solax app for today for Self Use, total for solar and battery at present time 2000 hrs 
16.20 kWh

Thank you everyone, especially Mikeyboy01443 for the screenshots.

I have had my solax inverter/batteries for 4 months now, and have tried to get it to automatically charge the batteries but have failed.

My GO period is 8:30pm to 1:30am, so have been setting it to manual force charge before going bed, then setting alarm for 1:30am to get it back to self mode (yeah, I am bonkers)

However, I have now used the details on this thread and it has now started charging on it own, happy days.

Glad you got it sorted... i wish my off peak period was earlier, i wouldn't have to stay up late when i wanted to do some washing
