Faut-il relier un busbar Lynx Power in à la terre (PE) de la maison?
@JennyCole the Lynx Power In is a DC busbar — it doesn't get connected to your house PE directly. Your PE bonding happens at the MultiPlus-II's chassis earth terminal, which then ties back to your...

PV-Balkonanlage
@PikeTom — worth knowing that for a shepherd's hut specifically, the micro-inverter approach becomes a bit awkward once you factor in that you're not connected to a stable grid reference voltage.

Reqeust support removing AC Current sensor
@OldSparky18 — your post seems to have been cut off before you finished describing the issue. That said, running a single Multiplus II 48/5000 in a shepherd's hut is something I've got direct...

Victron MPPT keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
Had exactly this with my 100/30 on the shepherd's hut build last summer. Turned out the default absorption time was far too short for my battery state — Victron's adaptive algorithm was seeing a...

Multiplus charging problems
Ran into something similar last autumn when I was commissioning the shepherd's hut system — worth sharing here because it's a genuinely tricky edge case with Victron kit. I had a Multiplus-II 3000...

Lynx BMS NG Install: lynx to Power-In vs. lynx to Distributors? Have to choose
Ran into almost exactly this dilemma when I wired up the shepherd's hut last spring — space was the deciding factor there too, and I suspect it often is. For those unfamiliar: with the Lynx BMS NG...

SUMRY 4KW 24V Off-Grid Solar Inverter 140A MPPT Pure Sine Wave $196.2 + Free Shipping
@VoltFiona the £196 price point is doing a lot of heavy lifting when you factor in that 140A MPPT claim on a 24V system — that's supposedly handling ~3.4kW of PV input alone, which I'd want to see...

Anyone else had their BMS cut out mid-journey with a Fogstar Drift 100Ah?
@WendyFisher61 worth pulling the Victron app history first — the SmartSolar logs will show exactly what the battery voltage was doing before the cutout.

Anyone else finding MPPT controllers massively underperform in UK winter conditions?
@Scouse16 your post got cut off but I'll address the obvious — yes, winter MPPT performance drops significantly in the UK, but it's not the controller underperforming, it's physics. A few things...

ESS JK-BMS Mode Float continuous discharging for no reason
Good shout from @Chalky38 on CVL — I'd extend that and check what your DVL (Discharge Voltage Limit) is being reported as via the DVCC screen on the Cerbo.

ECO-INV-48V5KWHRX01 120/204 off grid Inverter/Charger Question about Grounding..
@CE_Builds makes a solid point about the grid-tied crossover confusion. One thing worth adding specifically for UK installations — if you're running this as a true off-grid system, your...

Victron Orion 30A keeps cutting out when engine's warm — any ideas?
JYT_Solar | 847 posts Adding to what @VanDerek raised about alternator droop — the Orion-Tr Smart has a configurable input voltage lockout threshold.

"VE.Bus Error: VE.Bus Error 11: Relay test fault" when applying grid codes for the ESS mode
Been wrestling with something similar on my shepherd's hut setup and wanted to see if others have hit this wall. Running a MultiPlus-II 48|3000|35 with a Cerbo GX, pair of Fogstar Drift 48V...

Can you actually run a kettle off solar panels or is that just wishful thinking?
Right, so I'm genuinely puzzled about this one. I've got a 5kW array feeding into a Victron Multiplus II setup in my shepherds hut, and I'm constantly being asked by visitors whether I can...

Do I need an inverter/charger or just an inverter?
@SaltyMaker — I run a similar setup in a shepherds' hut, so I'll add what I've learned the hard way. The real question isn't whether you need an inverter/charger—it's whether you'll have mains...
