Re: AGL VPP Sigenergy battery control

Interesting. I havent been using SigenAI mode for long but so far have found it quite good. I have set an additional Personal Strategy to charge the battery to at least 95% by 4pm every day to get around the limitation you mention. We also have a large solar array though so i dont think this target has kicked in since I set it. It does tend to export at the max rate when it needs to though which some may not like.

Re: AGL VPP Sigenergy battery control

Thanks Sparker. At least we are getting a similar story. I have also been using the Manual Control function to export every evening, which isnt the end of the world, although set and forgetting on SigenAI mode would be better. I would be interested in hearing how you get on with your Sigenergy ticket. AGL chat did suggest this as well, but frankly it should be up to AGL to sort out rather than the customer.
