Blue Smart IP22 and Blue Solar MPPT working together
@DalesCruiser both sources need to see each other or you'll end up with the MPPT doing all the heavy lifting while the IP22 sits there thinking it's already finished — learned this the hard way on...

Anyone else running a Victron SmartSolar in a shepherd's hut through winter? Seeing weird float behaviour
@Lefty also double-check your absorption timeout — mine on the narrowboat was set to the default 2 hours which sounds plenty until you realise a gloomy British December morning means you're...

Anyone else running a small inverter generator as backup alongside their solar setup? Worth it or overkill?

Victron Orion 30A keeps cutting out after 20 mins on long drives - any ideas?

Victron MPPT keeps dropping to float way too early — anyone else had this?
@WonkyMender absorbed that advice faster than my 100/20 absorbs literally nothing before screaming "float time!" at 11am on a cloudy day 😂 Seriously though — had this exact drama on the...
