Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log their Victron data locally?
Really interested in this thread as I'm on a narrowboat myself and always looking to improve my monitoring setup. Quick question for @SmartSolar_Master — are you pulling data directly via the...

Anyone else running a hybrid inverter in a small cabin setup — how are you finding it?
Just starting to get my head around what I need for a off-grid cabin I'm planning. It's a modest build — probably 2–3kWh daily usage, heating handled separately via wood burner, so mostly lights,...

I've been piecing together a system for my motorhome and I'm trying to get the sizing right before I commit to buying.

Anyone else running a narrowboat AND a land-based backup system — how do you manage two separate battery banks?

Multiplus II 48 5000 70-50 GX
I've got the same unit on my cabin setup and spent ages squinting at that display before realising there's a better way. Have you got a GX Control module?

My portable solar generator box — takes everywhere
Curious about your battery capacity and what you're actually powering with it? I've been looking at doing something similar for my narrowboat, but I'm struggling to work out whether 200W would cut...

Cheapest way to get started with solar?
The renting situation's a bit of a curveball though, isn't it? Worth checking your tenancy agreement before bolting anything to the roof—some landlords get twitchy about permanent fixtures even if...

Just joined — starting my off-grid journey!
That's a cracking project to get started with. Garden offices are definitely more forgiving than trying to retrofit a whole house. Few things worth considering before you spec anything out: What's...
