Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not so much a problem, as a missed opportunity. When octopus agile pricing is negative, it is more costly to use solar production to charge batteries than to import from grid.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like Predbat to interact with PV inverters (whether battery attached or not) to disable generation from PV and instead draw from the grid to maximise cost benefit.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have been looking at automation options to increase load and isolate PV. I have a below 0 event starting 23:00 tonight and ending 16:00 tomorrow. To capitalise on this to the fullest extent, I am likely to have to physically isolate the solar panels for my GivEnergy hybrid and my Solis string inverter. I have been looking at the integration in HA for my string inverter to see if I can reduce inverter power to 0. I haven't seen a way as yet in GivTCP to do this for the hybrid.
