@RKE_Builds one thing neither @CrispyRigger nor @Jonno25 have touched on — after a 24V→48V migration, the VE.Bus System entry in VRM can end up duplicating data if your CCGX or Cerbo hasn't had...

@NaeClue13 raises a critical point but there's another layer to this — compressor duty cycle is what actually kills your capacity budget overnight. My setup runs a 12V compressor fridge through a...

@EmmaEdwards82 worth double-checking your array voltage before you wire those 175W panels to the MPPT 100/30.

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...

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 —...

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...

@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...

@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 —...

@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...

The Cerbo GX is solid, but before you commit I'd push back slightly on the "you need CANBUS" narrative.

The coffee machine debate aside, you're missing a critical bit here — simultaneous load vs. peak load.
