I set my Battery discharge level to 85% over the winter so if the Grid went down in bad weather, I would be able to extend my available power
This means I draw from Xcel after 10PM when they hit 85% until the panels come alive in the morning The charges are offset by Net solar bank credits
Last summer I had them at 50% and it drew from the batteries overnight without using the grid except in a few cases
With net metering, it would seem there is no impact on how much I pay. I believe that is true
All I can find is best Depth of Discharge rates are between 50-80%. My only thought is about lifetime impact on the batteries and not sure there is a difference for Lithium
Didn't find much of anything on Google
For now going down to 70% for no particular reason
Anyone dig into this topic?
