When you have installed your battery, monitoring how your battery is performing can be as simple as checking a few numbers on a daily basis to ensure everything is working as expected and to spot any problems early on.
Use the Manufacturer’s App
Many inverters and battery systems come with a smartphone app. This app can show you a daily summary of charge and discharge cycles of your battery. It is a good idea to open this app every morning to check if your battery has been charged (overnight or during peak solar hours) and discharged (in the evening) as expected in the evening.
Watch the Key Figures
In order to gain an understanding of the figures above and the remainder of the data being provided, you will need to have an understanding of the figures provided by smart meters for import and export figures for your property.
Set Up Alerts
Set up notifications for unusual readings, for example when your battery has gone to zero charge overnight or has failed to charge up to a suitable level on a sunny day.
Adjust Expectations Seasonally
A battery’s State of Charge (SoC) in July will be lower in December. It’s natural for the figures to be lower in the winter months. However, if in subsequent winters the figures for your battery storage in Bristol are lower than previously recorded, then it’s worth noting.
Flag Anomalies to Your Installer
