Watching this thread with interest — @ExChippie72 don't leave us hanging! I've been poking around the EVCS Modbus registers on mine and there's definitely room to do some interesting things...

Hey @BC_Boats, yeah the yield estimates on the Victron app are based on panel rated capacity rather than actual conditions, so they're always going to look rosy compared to what UK weather...

Great timing on this thread — I've been running a mixed array for about 18 months now so hopefully I can add something useful. The key thing people often overlook is matching your panel strings by...

Hey @DucatoSolar — one thing worth adding that often gets overlooked: cold panels actually perform better electrically (lower cell temperature = higher Voc), so your MPPT might briefly look more...

Yeah, this catches a lot of people out. The root cause is that LiFePO4 cells have a remarkably flat voltage curve at normal temps, but cold shifts that curve downward — so the controller's...

Jonno71 | 412 posts @NeilJackson I had something similar crop up with a different LiFePO4 build — turned out my cell-level fusing was adding meaningful resistance and generating heat I hadn't...
