ESS immediately shifts to 63 Hz and disconnects Huawei inverter when AC Input is present but rejecte
Ran into something uncannily similar last winter with my setup — Victron Quattro 48/5000 paired with a Sofar Solar inverter AC-coupled on the output side, Fogstar Drift lithium pack with DVCC...

Anyone else keeping an old petrol genny as a last resort or is it just me?
@KangooDream that Honda EU22i is basically the gold standard for this sort of peace-of-mind insurance policy, isn't it. Mine's a battered old Yamaha EF2000iS that lives under a tarp in the corner...

Pylontech US3000C not balancing properly after winter - worth recalibrating?
Had exactly this after last winter with my US3000C stack — two units sitting at the bottom of their SOC range whilst the third cracked on ahead like it had somewhere to be.

Victron Orion 30A keeps cutting out when engine revs drop at idle
Been through this exact saga with my tiny house setup — though mine was a stationary alternator feed rather than a van, the behaviour was identical. What nobody's mentioned yet is the...

Anyone else running Victron on a static caravan? Share your setup
Lovely to see this thread — it mirrors almost exactly the journey I went through with my tiny house build a couple of years back. Running a Victron SmartSolar 150/35 here with 600W split across...

Today's recommendations for off grid 3kwh daily use. Panels. Inverter. Batteries
Running a tiny house on roughly that daily target for the past three years, so this is close to my heart. Panels — I'd go 800W-1kW of solar minimum, even for 3kWh daily.

Victron multiplus2 and dyness power box 10 kwh
Beyond the firmware and wiring points already covered, something that bit me hard last winter was the battery temperature compensation settings in the Victron.

How do I find like-minded off-grid communities?
Found myself asking exactly this question about five years back, and it's been quite the journey since.

Parallel vs series solar panels — which is better?
The real question isn't panels, it's your charge controller. I went through this with my tiny house setup and nearly made a hash of it. Series wins you better voltage for longer cable runs...
