Hi everyone, I’m writing to ask for advice/suggestions on how to configure the Bluetti Apex 300 power station as I need it :-) We’re talking about a farmhouse, two connected panels (about 350+350W, not in full sun), and everything is working properly.
What would I like to do? I’d like to connect the fridge to the Bluetti, and the Bluetti to both the panels and the mains (which I already have). This way—according to my idea—the Bluetti should power the fridge from the battery until the battery reaches a certain threshold (e.g., 30%). Then it starts charging not only from the panels but also (or exclusively) from the mains until it reaches another threshold (e.g., 80%). Then it disconnects from the mains and returns to solar.
The idea is to use it as a sort of backup for the mains: as long as the battery has plenty of charge (typically during the day), it uses the battery; when the battery is low (typically at night), it recharges from the mains.
I’ve tried fiddling with the app, charging modes, SOC modes, etc., but I can’t seem to get it configured the way I want. Even during the day, with a full battery and the panels in the sun, it uses a bit of mains power (and I don’t understand why, given that the fridge draws very few watts).
Do you think it’s possible to implement what I’m asking for? Am I missing the logic? Can anyone help me? :-)
Thank you so much!
Daniele
