Prioritizing and Managing Energy Sources with Advanced Features

When using the system for time-of-use metering, the system should be designed
with a battery capacity large enough to support loads during the entire peak rate
period without reaching the Low Batt Cut Out setting.
Self-Consumption
PLS can also be used with time-of-use metering to support self-consumption. In
the self-consumption mode of operation, the Conext XW+ delays Peak Load
Shave mode by a fixed time of 2 hours. This is done by allowing a priority for the
MPPT solar charge controller to charge the battery bank.
This configuration can be selected under the Conext XW+ menu by selecting
Advanced Settings/Advanced Features/PLS DLY 2H=Enabled. The default
setting for PLS DLY 2H is Disabled.
Note: If the batteries reach the Low Battery Cut Out setting, the Conext XW+
automatically reconnects to the utility grid to maintain the connected load.
