Intelligent Flux - Change in Behaviour
I have noticed that as of 13th May there has been a change in behaviour of my GivEnergy All in One which is currently controlled by Octopus as part of the Intelligent Flux tariff.
Previously the battery would only charge from grid import, as presumably dictated by Octopus' needs, and was then force discharged between 1600 and 1900. The battery would discharge to 20% and then return to idle until the next charging session.
Now the battery is being charged both from the grid and solar (when available), which is fine and seems sensible. However now following the completion of the force discharge period at 1900 the battery is now continuing to discharge to support the house load and is discharging down to 4%, rather than the previous 20%. This means that there is little energy available in case of grid power failure.
Has anyone else noticed this change?
