Main unit auto turn off time should be configurable

When there is no grid input and AC/DCoutput is off, the main unit turns itself off completly aftee 4 hours to limit energy loss. Great feature!

However, we (yes we are many many customers) want to be able to lower that time. Now it turns off too late in the night. Not saving that much and the energy loss is really bad for the planet and my wallet.

Please hear us and implement this.

PS: this is not about the eco mode. The eco mode is for AC/DC output. We are talking about turning off the whole machine.

Thank you.

The tech team responded to your suggestion:
First, our newer models (those produced in 2024 or later) already have controllable ECO mode timers, with options for 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours. Additionally, these models will automatically shut down within 1 minute if there is no input or output, which aligns with your expectations. May I ask which model you are currently using?

I think i read this suggestion under a post for a EP500Pro too.

I have the AC200PL model.

The AC200PL can indeed be set up as I mentioned before: by controlling the ECO mode’s output shutdown time in the app. :handshake:

PS: this is not about the eco mode. The eco mode is for AC/DC output. We are talking about turning off the whole machine.

We would like to configure the time for auto shut down whole machine. Like 1 hour. Not 4 hours.

When the AC/DC output in eco mode is disconnected, and the app is not connected, the system will shut down within one minute. This is the condition that triggers the shutdown.

Hmmm. That would be nice, but not what I have experienced.

Even when the sun goes down and the solarpanel does not work anymore and the grid input is removed and the AC/DC is turned off, this AC200PL still does not go off by itself in 1 minute. It does after 4 hours.

Is there any setting I have to check?

Hi @SAblue
I apologize for the incorrect info earlier.
After further testing and confirmation from the technical team, we’ve learned that only models with a capacity below 2 kWh, such as the AC180 and AC70, can shut down within one minute. Larger capacity models like the AC200L, AC300, and AC500 require four hours in ECO mode before shutting down.
However, I have forwarded this to the R&D team to explore the possibility of enabling a one-minute shutdown feature for the AC200L in the future. :handshake:

Thank you for forwarding. This is a feature we’d love to see.
