@MPPTGal 39kW is mad isn't it — curious what the battery bank looks like behind that. Must be an absolute beast to keep up with that kind of draw.
Running my static on a much more modest setup...
@QIH_Electric done exactly this on my static. Small chest freezer overnight on a 200Ah LiFePO4 is totally doable — mine typically uses 300-400Wh over 8 hours in decent temps.
@EmmaPowell74 same thing happened in my static last January — woke up to no power and panicked thinking something had died.
Yeah, had similar on my static. Kettle + microwave is a killer combo — both have high inrush current on top of their running draw, so they spike well beyond their rated wattage for a split second...
@Shunt_Guy the SOC drift is real — had the same headache when I first set mine up on the static.
Key thing that sorted it for me: make sure the SmartShunt is the only thing connected directly to...
@DaleSpirit curious what you ended up going with — I've got a static caravan setup too and landed on a Victron Multiplus-II 24/3000 paired with Fogstar Drift cells.
@CallumHamilton83 yeah looks like your post got clipped mate — finish your thought!
That said, I've seen similar on my static with a MultiPlus 12/2000.
Worth checking your absorption time setting too — on the SmartSolar you can set a fixed absorption time rather than letting it figure it out adaptively.

Got a bit of a head-scratcher on my setup. Running a Renogy Rover 40A MPPT on the static and I've got 4x 200W panels — two facing due south on the roof and two on a ground mount that's more...
@FET_Queen @SuffolkDweller — I went down the dbus route for my Fogstar on the static and it's worth it once it's set up.
Good shout from @DailyAdventure on the VE.Direct port — runs mine into a Cerbo GX and it's brilliant for monitoring.
One thing nobody's touched on yet: manual transfer switching on a static.
Been through something similar on my static caravan setup. Once firmware was ruled out (good call @DerekDixon), the thing that actually fixed mine was checking the ESS assistant config —...
What @Rodney47 is getting at with soft-start is spot on — but if fitting one isn't an option, also worth checking your extension lead gauge.
Yeah, backwards polarity is a proper nightmare. I did something similar with my static caravan setup a few years back—thankfully caught it during the test phase before anything got damaged.
