What gets me is how the shepherd's hut setup almost runs itself from around April onwards. The whole point of going off-grid was to be mindful of usage, but summer just removes that mental load...

@Nobby derating is exactly where I got burned early on with my shepherd's hut setup. Bought a 40A unit thinking I had headroom, but once you factor in the 25°C ambient correction and the fact it's...

@MPPTGal eighteen months well spent by the looks of it. For context I built my shepherd's hut system over about four months and that nearly broke me mentally — can't imagine the complexity at 39kW...

Got a Pi Zero 2 W running Venus OS in my shepherd's hut — handles VE.Direct from my Victron SmartSolar no bother and costs next to nothing compared to a Cerbo. That said, the real game-changer for...

@SuffolkExplorer snap — almost identical setup in my shepherd's hut. Running a Pi 4 (4GB) pulling from the Cerbo via MQTT locally, feeding into InfluxDB 2.x with Grafana on top. One thing worth...

Ran into this exact issue setting up my shepherd's hut. Ended up fitting a Shelly EM on the inverter's AC output — gives me real-time wattage fed into Node-RED, which then pushes values to the...

Not a van setup either — I run a SmartSolar 100/30 in my shepherd's hut, so fixed install, but had identical dropout behaviour a while back. What fixed it for me was turning off "battery...
