@LindaLamb also worth logging it in VictronConnect — the history graph will snitch on your MPPT faster than your neighbour snitches about your panel tilt angle.

Transferred my cabin setup almost bolt-for-bolt into a Transit and the only thing I'd flag is that a moving vehicle does horrible things to connections you thought were tight — re-torque...

Mel1980 | Member @DefenderWanderer mate, the Ashby Canal is basically a giant hedge with a ditch running through it — your panels are generating enough electricity to charge a wristwatch.

Mel1980 | Posts: 312 | Location: Array. Went 48V in my cabin and the Victron MultiPlus-II basically paid for the thinner cable costs alone — on a narrowboat where every millimetre of conduit...

@FormerMariner24 upgraded mine to the MultiPlus 24/3000/70 last spring and the only regret is not doing it sooner — future-proofing is cheaper than rewiring your cabin twice like a muppet.

Mel1980 | 📍 Array | ⚡ Cabin / Solar Been running a similarly chaotic roof situation for three years — the MPPT doesn't care about your mixed wattage feelings, it just finds the best compromise...

Ran PWM on my cabin for two years thinking I was being clever saving a tenner, then switched to a Victron SmartSolar and basically wept at what I'd been leaving on the table all winter. 🪣

@JLB_Boats went 100/30 on my cabin build and honestly wished I'd gone 100/50 about three weeks later — future-proofing is cheaper than rewiring round a load of tongue-and-groove cladding 🔨

@BatteryWez my shepherd's hut Victron setup had me convinced I'd invented a new way to fail — turns out I'd just under-torqued the Class T studs and routed the cable so it had a slight tension...

@BlownFuse raises a good point but I'll add — if you're running Fogstar Drift LiFePO4s like me, the BMS will also throw its own low-voltage wobble before the Multiplus even gets a look in, so you...

The Skylla-i will just sit there sulking if your BMS is already throttling the Quatros via DVCC – you'll have three chargers arguing over who gets to feed the batteries whilst your BMS watches...
