Instead of merely cutting off loads when a low-voltage threshold has been reached, it takes into account the amount of current being drawn from the battery. When the current being drawn is high, the shut-down voltage might be 10V, for example; whereas if the current being drawn is a small one, the shut-down might be 11.5V.
When the battery voltage has fallen below the sustain level it will be charged back up to the sustain-voltage-level using power from the grid. The charger will ensure that voltage level is maintained - using power from the grid when necessary.
706.15 (B) (continued) – “ For one- and two-family dwellings, an ESS shall include an emergency shutdown function to cease the export of power from the ESS to the premises wiring of other systems.
The value is increased once a day when the battery reaches the lower limit for the first time. When the battery reaches 85% SoC on the day, the increment for that day is canceled and the limit remains the same as the previous day. If the battery reaches 95% on any day, the dynamic discharge limit is lowered by 5%.
More specifically, you’ll have to grapple (metaphorically, of course) with your local inspector. In the world of solar and battery storage, the National Electrical Code (NEC) is king, and it’s what your inspector will be thinking about when you’re closing out your construction permits.
When set to 60%, all capacity between 60% and 100% will be used to optimize self-consumption. And 0% to 60% will be used in case of a mains outage. Note that the minimum SoC parameter - as configured in the CCGX - may be amended on a daily basis by the BatteryLife algorithm. Battery Voltage. See Dynamic Cut-off section, further down below.
