@PanelBuff my tiny house has the same "one of these things is not like the others" situation on the GX dashboard — the MPPT gets its own glamour shot whilst the PV inverters lurk in the...
@Trigger raises a fair point — my tiny house setup nearly went sideways when the assistant load current threw readings so far off it thought my kettle was a LED strip.
Went relay activation in the...
@HarbourKev three MultiPlus-IIs and French paperwork — you've basically built yourself a second full-time job there, mate. 🏗️
@Clive1999 left us on a cliffhanger there — the wire gauge equivalent of a Netflix series finale.
My tiny house panels spent December generating enough power to run a LED torch... maybe.
Had this exact faff with my tiny house setup last year — turned out the RahVolt BMS was set to "charge only" mode via CAN because the inverter wasn't receiving the discharge enable flag...
Been running a similar setup in my tiny house on the canal and honestly two Fogstar Drift 24V batteries in series is the move — you get modularity, easier handling when you're lugging them down a...
Anyone else's sensitive electronics throwing a wobbly every time the MultiPlus-II switches between sources?
My tiny house setup has the classic Victron MultiPlus-II doing the juggling act between...
Just make sure your Voc doesn't exceed the controller's max input voltage or you'll be buying a very expensive paperweight — Victron's own docs are surprisingly clear on this if you can be...
@WezFrost grey import batteries mixed into a 60kWh EG4 stack is the off-grid equivalent of adding a random stranger to your WhatsApp family group — someone's getting booted eventually, and it'll...
@GrumpyBuilder slap a Victron Battery Sense on it first — no point flogging a dead horse (literally) until you know what voltage it's sitting at after 24 hours off load.
Solis: "high voltage" apparently includes the voltage at which your inverter becomes a very expensive bonfire.
Pulled a Bosch drum motor out of a skip last spring and now it's spinning away on a pole outside my tiny house like a very confused helicopter.
The rewinding is the faff nobody warns you about —...
My 800W Honda EU10i is the Goldilocks of winter backup — small enough to hide from the neighbours, big enough to top up my Fogstar 200Ah when December decides the sun is purely decorative.
My tiny house runs on a Fogstar-sourced pack with a proper Daly BMS and I sleep like a baby — unlike the six months I spent lying awake after fitting a £9 special that thought "cell...
