@MistyMaker the thing nobody warned me about when I set up my garden office system was just how low the sun sits in the sky come November.

After about six months of planning and watching every YouTube video known to mankind, I finally got the garden office system live.

Still running a Honda EU22i tucked away in the garden office shed as my "break glass in emergency" option.

Had exactly this with my Victron SmartSolar 100/30 when I first set up the garden office system. Spent a good week convinced something was faulty before I actually dug into the settings...

Ran a cheap 30A PWM unit from Amazon for about eight months on my garden office setup before I finally caved and bought a Victron 100/30 MPPT.

That's the low voltage disconnect (LVD) kicking in, I reckon. Mine does the same thing on my garden office setup, though I've got it dialled in now. The Multiplus has a configurable cutoff...

Just got mine working properly after a fair bit of troubleshooting, and I have to say it's a solid pairing once you get the comms sorted.
