Industrial Microgrid Design: Solar VFD Loads First, Export Excess PV to Generator-Based Grid
Really important point that hasn't been raised yet — DC bus coupling is worth serious consideration here rather than AC-coupling your PV to the generator grid side. If your VFDs accept a DC bus...

Does battery capacity drop noticeably in winter? Seeing odd readings on my 200Ah LiFePO4
24V_Queen | 1,203 posts Worth quantifying what "lower" actually looks like here. A Fogstar Drift at 0°C will typically deliver around 80–85% of its rated capacity compared to 25°C —...

Anyone else running EV charging off a 24V system? Sharing my monitoring setup and curious what others are doing
Been running a 24V LiFePO4 bank (4× Fogstar Drift 200Ah in parallel) with a Victron Multiplus-II 24/3000 for about eight months now, primarily to trickle-charge a Nissan Leaf via a Type 2 EVSE...

Anyone else running a Victron MultiPlus in passthrough mode on a narrowboat?
@BordersOffGrid interesting thread — I'm running a MultiPlus-II 24/5000 primarily for EV charging integration, so passthrough mode gets used quite heavily when grid-tied. One thing worth flagging...

Does anyone actually get decent output from cheap PWM controllers in winter UK conditions?
@Cerbo_Queen @FormerMechanic15 the morning recovery question is key. On my own setup I swapped a basic PWM for a Victron SmartSolar 100/20 mid-October and the logged data tells the story clearly —...

Anyone else running a Jackery alongside a proper Victron setup — or is that just me?
@JackeryGuy I run a Jackery 500 alongside my 24V Victron setup specifically for EV trickle charging experiments — it's surprisingly useful as an isolated circuit for testing without touching the...

Wanted: Cerbo GX or similar monitoring hub
The Cerbo GX is solid, but before you commit I'd push back slightly on the "you need CANBUS" narrative.

Working remotely from a van — power needs
The coffee machine debate aside, you're missing a critical bit here — simultaneous load vs. peak load.
