I have been operating my EP600 (off-grid parallel) with AC PV and would now like to expand it directly with DC PV, which I connect to the EP600.
Currently, the maximum feed-in power is limited by regulatory at 4 kW, which is the maximum I am allowed to feed into the grid. How/where can I set the EP600 so that the DC PV surplus that goes into the grid, when the battery is full, is throttled to 4 kW?
With the AC PV inverters, I can set this directly on the inverters, but where is the setting for this on the EP600? Note: I do not mean the battery feed into the grid, as this is not permitted by the grid operator, but only the PV surplus feed!
@BLUETTI_CARE just read an similar Topic: Dual EP900, pv export
I think it’s the same issue. I also use two EPs (EP600 vs EP900) and want to regulate/limit the PV export.
But the settings in this article look completely different from mine.

Left side, black menu is from the EP900, mine is EP600, right side, white menue:

I also use Pro Mode in App, but why looks my App different then the other?
Don’t the EP900 and EP600 work the same way? Can’t I regulate PV export with the EP600 in the same way as with the EP900?
A quick update from me: Got a reply from “Mike” yesterday.
The EP600 really does have different settings for limiting PV feed-in.
- [Working Mode] is set to “self consumption” by default, but “Time of Use” must be deactivated.
- This means that “Feed-to-grid” now only controls PV feed-in, but no longer controls the feed-in of battery power into the grid.
Since I haven’t expanded to DC PV yet, I tested this with my AC PV. Limiting the PV feed-in also works with AC PV. With these settings, I export exactly 600W into the grid as soon as the SOC reaches 94%. The PV export stops again as soon as the PV no longer supplies power.
Hi @SigiKa, Thank you for providing the detailed information.
We have consulted the technical department regarding this matter and will contact you as soon as we receive a response.
Hi @SigiKa, I appreciate your kind understanding and patience.
We have now received a response. Regarding your request, please set the “Feed Into Grid” option to 4000W.
Hi @BLUETTI_CARE , Thanks for the tip. My settings were for the first test so as not to exceed the limit (800W) of the “balcony power plant”. I still have to wait for approval from the grid operator before I can feed in the maximum 4 kW.
Hi @SigiKa, you are welcome! Thank you for letting us know.
We hope everything goes smoothly from here!
