Good points all round. One thing I'd add that doesn't get mentioned enough is voltage spikes from the PV array side — particularly if you've got long cable runs without any surge protection on the...

Hey @ExJoiner32, classic Multiplus behaviour that one! Sounds like you're about to describe the AC input relay clicking in and confusing things?

Hey @BayFrank, similar setup here but I swapped to a south-facing 30-degree tilt last autumn and it made a noticeable difference through the darker months — even on overcast days you're catching...

Good thread this. @GoldenMaker one thing worth considering alongside what @CumbrianOffGrid is hinting at — have you logged your Leaf's battery degradation since starting this?

Hey @MoorDweller, nice setup! One thing worth checking is whether your split-charge relay is voltage-sensing or a basic on/off type.

Hey @BarryCrane, classic cold weather headache this one. Worth checking your absorption voltage threshold - LiFePO4 cells have a lower internal resistance when cold, so the controller can see...

Good shout from @LauraGraham72 there. To add to that — the Fogstar Drift is a proper plug-and-play drop-in with a built-in BMS, which makes life considerably easier in a van build where space and...
