@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...

@VanRhys curious to hear more about the static caravan setup — I've got something similar on a shepherd's hut up near Penrith.
My honest experience: the split-charge...
@TransitProject similar story with my shepherd's hut build, except I went the static route rather than a van.
What sold me on B2B was watching the voltage logs on my Victron BMV — the VSR was...
Jumping in here because I had exactly this with my shepherd's hut setup before I moved it fully off-grid.
When I was still connected to a long cable run from the farmhouse — effectively a...
The 150/60 is definitely your ceiling here—that's 9kW absolute maximum, but you're not seeing it because your array's oversized for the controller.

Been meaning to write this up properly. Got a 3kW system running in a static caravan up near Keswick, and winter's been quite the education.
The setup:
12x 400W Renogy panels on the roof...
I've got LiFePO4 in my shepherd's hut and the real issue isn't discharge—it's charging below 0°C. My Victron BMV won't let the charger work properly when it's frozen out. Solution?
