Lazy Socket

Been through exactly this with my own setup. Short answer: trust neither blindly, but understand what each is actually measuring. The BMV-712 uses coulomb counting — it tracks charge in and charge...

Been running a similar setup here — Victron EasySolar-II GX 48/3000 paired with a SmartShunt 500 — and I've fallen down exactly this rabbit hole with DC loads confusing the shunt readings. The...

Fascinating build history — the jump from Trace to Xantrex is basically a timeline of the whole off-grid inverter industry in one system.

Good shout from @SarahLamb56 on worst-case — I'd extend that thinking into your battery chemistry choice too.

@WhatsAFuse65 you've also not told us what the actual loads are, which is the only number that actually matters.

@HarbourKev yes, finish that sentence! Though I can probably guess where it's going. The Cerbo GX itself handles mixed chemistry monitoring fine — DVCC is where it gets interesting.

Been through exactly this with my place. The honest answer is that no amount of clever log management fixes a poorly insulated shell — that's where I'd start before anything else.

Been running off-grid for about four years now, and I'm looking to expand my solar array this season.
