We're running an 18kPV for a Grid and Battery ESS. No solar yet.

I have high level flow diagrams that describe two common modes for my 18kPV:Grid Outage and Peak Shaving.  It's actually been tricky setting this up to match my desired flow.  I'm working with EG4 and Signature Solar on this, and scanning these forums.  Making progress, but not yet there.   If I figure it all out I'll share more 😉

1. Handle a grid outage.  I will re-test, but it had been working before we made Peak Shaving changes and updated the firmware. More to come.

2. Peak Shaving.  I've made good progress with EG4 assist (I'm peak shaving now!)  The settings are confusing at best, but can work.  Still need to trigger a Battery Quick Charge at the end of the process. Any ideas are appreciated.

I would make sure that the AC Charge is enabled with the Start AC Charge SOC and Stop AC Charge SOC configured.
