18Kpv. PV or Batteries will NOT power loads under any circumstances. Always uses GRID. PV will charge the batteries - but it never finishes charging. SOC stuck at 98%. Signature solar put my LifePOE v1 batteries (4) into Lead acid mode trying to diagnose the issue. My Solar system has NEVER operated correctly (or predictably) since provisioning back in Oct. If I reset the 18Kpv (using the button in the app) - it will start powering loads and charging with PV - but after 10 minutes it will go back to "trying" to charge the batteries and the GRID takes over the loads. My system is supposed to be running in Self Consumption mode as indicated in the "Working Mode" section of the application monitor. I need help.My gut tells me I need to restore defaults - but afraid I will lose power and internet - thus will require me to drive 2hrs to get onsite.

You should post your working mode "Battery Settings" and i don't know why you would be using lead-acid mode for LiFePo4 batteries. I can see you do not have communications working with your battery pack(s) or else it would have shown a State of Charge(SoC) but that's ok, you can still use Voltage triggers instead of SoC. Here's my Battery Settings for 3 LiFePo4 battery packs using the Pylon communications protocol(batt type #2).
