Grid feed-in function on the Alpha App - Tutorial by Erica from Solar Home.

Grid feed-in function on the Alpha app! If you've noticed your inverter is clipping out at 5 kilowatts when you have more than 5 kilowatts of solar panels installed, it's because your battery is just full. If your battery is full, your inverter is capped at 5 kilowatts. We can empty our battery to the grid, clearing up space for the inverter via the Alpha App. On the Alpha app, open up your settings, go to feed-in control, and then toggle on 'feed-in' function. The cutoff state of charge is 30%. This means the battery will discharge to the grid until it reaches 30%. A good time frame is from midnight until 2am, as two hours is plenty to discharge your battery. If your battery reaches 30% before the time is up, the load will be covered by the grid, so tailor this to your own usage. Set the power to 5 kilowatts and don't forget to submit any changes you make. If you're noticing that your inverter is still clipping, you can prioritise 'feed-in' instead of charging the battery. A good time frame for this is from 8am to 4pm, and again 5 kilowatts of solar power. This means the inverter will cover the load, and then feed-in, and then the battery (instead of the normal load, then battery, and then feed-in). And again, don't forget to submit and save any changes. **AFTER THE ABOVE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE** If we have a look at the system in the middle of the day with these settings applied, there's 7.7 kilowatts of solar power being produced. The load is being covered first, the battery is then being charged, and then the surplus is being fed back to the grid. Once our settings take place, we won't change the prioritisation, so the load gets covered first, then the feed-in is being prioritised, and then the surplus is going to the battery. So the feed-in and the load together make 5 kilowatts. So we are changing the priority from battery to feed-in which will eliminate the clipping or the losing of potential energy. Visually (on the Alpha app), the changes will evolve from depicting a graph which indicates 'clipping', to instead displaying a fully rounded curve. In this manner, you can maximise the full potential of your solar panels and their solar energy generation.
