For certain appliances with batteries (like EVs), it could be nice to define to which level they should be charged to regardless of solar power.
For other appliances who are coupled to a numerical sensor (like a heatpump in combination with a temperature sensor), it could also be nice to define a level/threshold, to which they should keep running regardless of solar power.
Implementation TODOs:
Blueprint: New variable: 'numerical sensor' for e.g. battery level or temp sensor of appliance
Blueprint: New variable: 'Min. Level' (always, regardless of solar power, run the appliance till the min. level is reached)
Blueprint: New variable: 'Solar cut off' (only run the appliance with solar power till a certain level if reached)
Blueprint: New variable: 'Home Battery SetCurrent' (to prevent appliances drawing from battery to reach min. charge )

As discussed in the HA Forums...it would be pretty cool to augment this Blueprint in a way that allows it to not only use excess solar but also cheap energy from energy providers like Tibber that use variable prices.
There are ways to create a Binary Sensor that turns "On" when electricity is particularly cheap in the current 24h frame. I use this combined with Solcast Solar forecast and a "Charge Required" metric to make sure my home solar battery is always used, either to store solar power or to store cheap grid energy.
