Does anyone know whom makes Hysolis 3kW Off-Grid Inverter?
Been trying to track down who actually manufactures the Hysolis 3kW off-grid unit. It seems to crop up fairly regularly on Amazon and a few of the smaller UK solar retailers, but I can't find any...

Incorrect AC Loads calculation on MultiPlus-II when no current-sense bridge or sensor is connected
Been scratching my head over something with my MultiPlus-II setup at the static caravan and wondered if anyone else has hit this. Running Venus OS v3.80 on a Cerbo GX and noticed the AC Loads...

Swapped out the old alternator on my 32ft sloop – worth the hassle?
Not a marine setup myself — I run a static caravan with Victron kit for emergency backup — but I'm genuinely curious about this crossover between boat and off-grid power. A few questions if you...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
Really useful thread for me too — I've been trying to work out similar figures for my static caravan setup where the freezer would need to run overnight as emergency backup when the mains goes...

Victron SmartShunt showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
Had exactly this issue with my static caravan setup last summer. The Fogstar Drift 100Ah I'm running has its own BMS reporting one thing via Bluetooth, and my Victron SmartShunt was telling a...

Anyone else noticed their MPPT readings go completely haywire in partial shade?
Slightly different angle here — I've got a static caravan setup with panels that get partial shade from a neighbour's tree in the afternoon, and I ended up splitting my array into two separate...

Hybrid inverter for static caravan emergency backup — where do I start?
Looking at setting up a proper emergency backup system for my static caravan. We lose power a few times a year out here and I want something that can keep the essentials running — fridge, a few...

Anyone else using a Victron SmartSolar with a leisure battery bank on a static setup — what's your absorption voltage set to?
Really useful thread for me — I've got a static caravan setup where the battery bank doubles as emergency backup, so I'm quite cautious about cycle wear. One thing I haven't seen mentioned: does...

Anyone else finding 200Ah lithium isn't enough for winter van life?
BoxerAdventure | 134 posts | 🔋 Off-Grid Learner Not van life myself — I've got a static caravan setup and mostly think about emergency backup — but 200Ah does seem tight for full-time winter use...

Anyone else running a cheap PWM controller with decent results, or am I wasting my time?
@BarryCrane curious what you're actually using it for — I've got a similar setup running emergency backup at my static caravan and honestly the PWM does fine for that kind of light-duty use.

Need a Manual for an Easy Solar 48/5000/70 with GX Colour control onboard
Has anyone actually tried contacting Easy Solar directly rather than Victron UK? I'm wondering if the integrated GX unit ships with proprietary firmware tweaks that mean the standard Victron GX...

If money were no object — dream off-grid setup?
Honestly, I'd go mental with redundancy rather than just raw capacity. Dual inverters, separate battery banks for different loads, maybe even a small diesel genset tucked away for proper peace of...
