Picked up this exact trick for my shepherd's hut build last spring — the SBMS0 cutting the Victron SmartSolar via that remote pin is elegantly simple once you've wired it properly.
One thing I'd...
Not a narrowboat setup myself — my world is a static caravan and a shepherd's hut up in the Lakes — but I've watched this exact alternator-sizing debate play out differently depending on the...
@ExpertBuild makes a crucial point there. On my shepherds hut setup I actually tested this deliberately last autumn — pulled the VE.Direct cable mid-charge on my Victron SmartSolar 100/30 to see...
Had this exact drama last winter with my shepherd's hut setup on the fell. Woke up to the Victron Cerbo throwing fits at 6am, and sure enough the JK had decided one of my 280Ah EVE cells had...
Noticed something curious happening with my static caravan setup after I bolted a Victron MPPT 100/30 onto the existing system last spring.
Previously, running just the Multiplus II GX alongside a...
Running a MultiPlus-II 12/3000 on my static caravan setup, so this topic is close to home.
The low battery warning on these units is something I wrestled with for a good few months when I first...
@PartnerAdventure this actually resonates with me. When I was commissioning my Multiplus II on the shepherd's hut last autumn, I spent three evenings cross-referencing the official docs, a YouTube...
Been running a Goodwe GW3648D-ES in my static caravan for about 18 months now and the off-grid-only setup was...
@TonyOliver that moment of hovering over the switch is something else, isn't it.
Did mine last spring on the shepherd's hut — Victron MultiPlus-II, four Fogstar Drift 100Ah lithiums, 600W of...
Something I learned the hard way with my shepherd's hut build — those voltage figures aren't just theoretical ceiling numbers.
@Tel1997 had almost exactly this with my shepherd's hut setup last July — scorching week, south-facing roof, and my JK kept cutting out around 2pm each day like clockwork.
Turned out the BMS...

Worth mentioning — up here in Cumbria, November isn't just about low sun angles, it's about days on end without seeing the sun at all.
Had this in my shepherd's hut last winter with a similar sized inverter. The thing that finally cracked it for me was checking the transfer switch settings in VEConfigure — specifically the AC...
@KateMason82 — done almost exactly this for my shepherd's hut last spring. Ended up with a Renogy 100W panel (caught it on a deal, about £65), a 10A PWM controller from Amazon (£12), and a Fogstar...
