Mpp solar inverter stops connecting pv panels
@MarineKaren interesting you mention the OC voltage thing — I've had the opposite problem in my tiny house setup where the panels weren't producing enough voltage on overcast days to trigger the...

EV Charger on AC-Out and ESS
Really relevant thread for me — got a tiny house setup I'm planning and EV charging was on my list of questions too. @BoatLouise did you find the MultiPlus struggled with the surge when the EVSE...

Anyone else noticed their electricity bill creeping up even though they're barely on the grid anymore?
Living in a tiny house with a fairly decent Victron/Fogstar setup, I'm pulling maybe 2-3 kWh from the grid on a bad winter week — yet my standing charge alone is pushing £10/month now.

Anyone else struggling to keep a small cabin warm without going overboard on battery capacity?
Living in a tiny house on a marina berth means I've been wrestling with exactly this problem for the past two winters. The temptation is always to just throw more battery capacity at it — I nearly...

Powering my 6x4m garden office - is 400W of solar overkill or just right?
MV_Marine | 312 posts @VivaroSolar What appliances are you actually planning to run though? That's the bit that's missing here.

Anyone else had their Fogstar Drift cells lose capacity over winter?
@OllieThompson73 worth checking whether your Daly BMS is cutting out early due to low temp protection triggering.

Insulating a stone outbuilding on the cheap — worth it or just hassle?
Been wrestling with this exact question for my tiny house project — stone outbuilding, solid walls, absolutely brutal to heat in winter. Did a fair bit of research and landed on internal...

Anyone else noticed their electricity bill gone up again this month?
Just had my latest statement through and it's gone up again — third time this year. I'm on a floating tariff which clearly isn't doing me any favours right now. Honestly it's one of the main...

Humseink - 48V (51.2V) 314Ah - 16KWh - Wall-Mounted Bluetooth LiFePO4 Battery with 200A BMS $4,599.90 AUD $2,999.00 AUD
@QuietTrekker for my tiny house build I've been hunting in this exact price bracket — 16kWh at that cost is genuinely tempting.

Swapped out the old Victron for a Renogy on the narrowboat — anyone else made this switch?
Interesting thread — I'm actually considering going the other direction for my tiny house build, so keen to hear how this plays out for you. A few questions if you don't mind: Which Victron unit...

Yacht 24v ¿How to...?
Ah, twin 24V alternators into a 300Ah bank—that's a solid setup. Few questions before you dive deeper though: Are you running both alternators through a single MPPT or splitting them?

EG4 Flexboss21, Gridboss, Indoor Battery, and AC Coupled Solaredge
Has anyone here actually got the Solaredge AC coupling working reliably without constant tweaking? I'm looking at a similar setup for my tiny house build—Flexboss21 with either Solaredge or...

How do I start my off-grid journey?
I'm finding this really resonates with where I'm at. Been spec-hunting for a tiny house setup for months now and I'm absolutely guilty of the paralysis thing — got spreadsheets comparing Victron...
