xw6848 selling battery power to grid

Registered Users Posts: 6 ✭✭
I have been talking with Schneider tech support. they cannot seem to help me get my system to do what i want it to do (and i think it was working fine, but the other day it started doing what it wanted to do, not what i want it to do)
I have a small PV array. about 6 KW on a good day. all schneider equipment, so it should be talking to each other.
i want the solar array to run my load and charge the batteries. Any extra power generated through PV panels; I would like to sell to the grid.
if my load is larger than what the PV panels put out, i want to add battery power (load shave) , so i cannot put system in enhanced grid support mode. my problem is - the xw is selling my battery power to the grid, not just the extra PV power. Any suggestions anybody
setting are:
Grid support 54v
SOC 30%
Load shave 0A

If you are not getting any events, faults, or warnings try tech support again. You may get better help.
Do you have Conext Insight?
When configuration changes, often the cause is a surge from the grid. Good to have SPD's on anything coming in. Especially solar."we go where power lines don't" Sierra Nevada mountain area
