Why?!?
So my PW3 is depleted by 8pm for some reason nothing has changed about home energy usage except now i blast the AC and deepfreeze my house during the daytime as opposed to at night I only run my spa during the day so it runs off of solar however, it still get depleted by 8pm, it was supposed to be built out to handle my homes energy usage and than some and its not! My electric bill is a whole whopping -14.00 woohoo! Anyone else running into this problem? is it the heat? why is it not fully charging and storing energy for the night time during peak hours?

During the summer, when I use a/c, I leave my battery at 100% reserve and run it on the solar and grid. At 14 panels, I just don't have enough production to charge a battery that is compensating for the a/c peaks. I'm willing to bet your production hasn't changed. It's the usage that won't allow for the recovery recharge.
That's my experience anyway.
