Hi Martin, thanks for the answer. I have, however, the opposite problem - if the SOC is 20% in the end of December, it should start at 20% in January to simulate a continuous operation, just to examine number of hours when the load has to be disconnected. But I found a workaround; to set the "Preservation Mode" to 40%, and thereafter recalculate the battery capacity to fit to a minimum SOC of 20%. That seems to work Best regards, Rasmus

Hello everyone, I'm simulating an off grid system (PV panels + batteries) where availability is the top priority. Since the irradiance is quite scarce in the winter (the system is going to be placed near Stockholm, Sweden), I would like to simulate for July to June instead of January to December as seems to be default. The problem is that the state of charge/SOC of the batteries on January 1st at 00:00 differs from the SOC on December 31st at 23:59, which results in a higher availability in January than it would be in real applications. So my question is if it is possible to change the start date/simulation period, or if there are any other solutions to this? A solution with a generator is unfortunately not possible for this application. Thanks in advance, Rasmus
