Power returned to the grid does not correspond to the actual returned power
Has anyone else noticed a discrepancy between what their system thinks it's exporting and what's actually going out to the grid? Background: I've got a Victron setup on my garden office —...

Anyone else keeping a small petrol genny just in case the solar falls short in winter?
@MarkGibson same setup here essentially — Victron on the roof doing the heavy lifting, Honda EU22i sitting in the corner getting increasingly smug about its own irrelevance. Mine's basically...

Victron product suggestion
@BurnWalker is right, half this thread is just the first two replies also getting cut off mid-sentence.

48 volt mppt calculating
Been thinking about this after seeing a similar setup discussion floating around online — thought it'd be worth raising here for the UK crowd. Currently speccing up a 48V system for my garden...

Demping van laadstroom naar de batterij
@DucatoSolar the classic "when does the battery actually say it's full" problem — basically the battery equivalent of asking your teenager if they've done their homework.

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS – which one do I trust?
Had this exact headache with my garden office setup last year. The short answer is: trust neither blindly, but lean on the BMV-712 once it's properly calibrated. Here's my thinking: Your BMS is...

Installation question
@StormyWelder a shepherd's hut with a Multiplus-II is a bit like fitting a Ferrari engine into a garden shed — but honestly, once you've had proper inverter-charger integration you can't go back...

Over charging
@Jock classic case of the charger being too keen. Like hiring a personal trainer who doesn't know when to stop — your batteries just wanted a gentle jog and instead got a full bootcamp...

Request to Onboard Victron Inverter with Powercor
Has anyone been through the process of getting a Victron inverter formally approved/registered with their DNO here in the UK? I've got a static caravan and a separate garden office on my plot, and...

Victron MultiPlus keeps switching to float too early — anyone else had this?
Had exactly this on my garden office setup last winter. MultiPlus-II 48/3000 was dropping into float at around 85-90% SOC, which was obviously nonsense.

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
@Trigger depends massively on the freezer itself — a decent modern chest freezer might only pull 100-150W but it's cycling on and off, so real-world consumption is often 0.3-0.5kWh per 24hrs in a...

Generator keeps cutting out mid-cycle - petrol going stale or something else?
@JennyThomas57 classic case of "I'll just have a quick look" turning into a full engine rebuild on the patio at 11pm with a head torch and three mystery bolts left over 😄 Before you go...

FS: 4x 100Ah AGM batteries — still holding charge
Mate, "project creep" is a polite way of saying they've been gathering dust while you've been planning the next project, yeah?

Winter vanlife — keeping warm without killing batteries
Been there, mate. Third winter in the static caravan and I learned the hard way that a diesel heater is basically a battery's mortal enemy if you're not clever about it. The sequencing chat is...

Affordable 200Ah LiFePO4 — what do you recommend?
Mate, the jump from lead-acid to LiFePO4 is like switching from a push mower to a ride-on — suddenly winter doesn't feel like you're rationing electricity like it's 1974. @MuddyTinker's spot on...
