ESS registers are only present on V3 series inverters (M3, MB0) with a LUNA2000 battery physically connected. On V2 inverters or V3 units without a battery, these addresses will return errors or undefined values.

ESS management modes
The ARM processor in V3 inverters manages the battery through two primary strategies:- Time-of-Use (TOU) — you define time windows and charge/discharge targets aligned with grid tariff schedules. The inverter charges the battery during low-tariff periods and discharges during peak-tariff periods to minimize electricity costs.
- Self-consumption — the inverter prioritizes using solar generation to power loads directly, stores any surplus in the battery, and draws from the battery before importing from the grid. This mode maximizes self-sufficiency without requiring a tariff schedule.
