What settings should I use on my inverter?

The current settings I have been told to use on the inverter are as follows: 01 - SBU, You might want to consider UtI (Utility first), to treat the utility as a generator, and for when you actually need to use a generator. That means you'll be using utility all the time that it's available, even if your battery is full.

How does a solar inverter work?

This is to use SOL and OSO. Solar energy will power your loads, with battery topping it up as necessary. The battery will also be charged by solar power. When night falls and the panels stop producing, the inverter will switch to utility power. At this stage the battery will be close to fully charged unless there was extreme cloudy weather.

How can I reduce the power consumption of my inverter?

If you want less than 1000w taken from the grid, you need to change your time of use settings / add more panels / add more batteries / reduce the load. It depends Inverter is consuming +/- 50w, taken from the grid as long as grid is present.

What voltage should a pylontech inverter use?

Use the Pylontech recommended settings 26 Cv = 53.2 V, 27 FLv = 51.0 V. SiG: single inverter (no parallel or 3-phase). That's what you want unless you get a second inverter and install parallel cards and cables. Use the recommended setting of 47.5 V. This affects how the SOC is displayed, as well as affecting switching to and from line mode.

What voltage should a single inverter use?

SiG: single inverter (no parallel or 3-phase). That's what you want unless you get a second inverter and install parallel cards and cables. Use the recommended setting of 47.5 V. This affects how the SOC is displayed, as well as affecting switching to and from line mode. Thank you very much for your help with this, I truly appreciate it.

How do I get more power from solar?

May as well set 07 = trE (enable restart after over-temperature). Perhaps drop 13 to 50 V. That way, you are more in battery mode, which will support your loads more from solar. But keep at 51 V if it seems to switch from utility to battery mode too often. That's probably OK for now, since you never have solar and utility at the same time.
