Solar Passthrough on the Yeti Pro 4000
I was wondering how solar should behave on the Yeti Pro 4000. I have my charge profile set to Balanced. Currently the Yeti is at 95% so it's above the 90% recharge point. I have solar going into the unit. If I put an AC load it will pull from the battery despite there being adequate solar that could passthrough to power the load. Should the Yeti support this? If so, do I have to enable this somehow?

that’s how mine functions, and I have explored the menus pretty thoroughly. I don’t believe you can change it to “pass through”. Once the draw drops it down to 90%, it will start to take the charge from solar again (obviously).
Note that you can setup a custom charge profile (for instance, have it start charging again at 94%). But I have not had good luck with the yeti respecting the custom profile. It sometimes ignores it and drains the battery all the way down, as well as charge it all the way to 100%. So I have reverted to just using the preset profiles.
