Victron inverters with plug in solar
Yeah this is a nice little setup @FogstarFan. Worth knowing that if your balcony panels are feeding into the AC input rather than the DC side, the Multiplus will see that as grid/generator power...

Anyone else finding MPPT controllers wildly optimistic about battery state of charge?
