@BordersExplorer that 58.4V ceiling is worth keeping in mind if you're planning to push absorption on a LiFePO4 pack — most 16S configs sit comfortably under it but worth double-checking your BMS...

Bit of an unusual one seeing 120V spec in here — that's North American voltage, so not something you'd typically see on a UK forum.

Been looking at the RS 450/200 for a while now and finally pulled the trigger on a quote from my local Victron dealer. Currently running a SmartSolar 150/35 on my garden office — works a treat...

@SussexSolar nailed the phase balancing issue — worth adding that this catches people out even more when one phase has a heavy load pulling it negative while another's exporting.

Good shout from @DucatoCamper on the battery temp side. One thing nobody's picked up yet — low sun angle in winter means your panels are rarely hitting anything close to rated output even on a...

Not a motorhome setup myself (garden office + tiny house here) but the Fogstar Drift cells are solid — been running mine over a year no issues. One thing nobody's mentioned: check your Victron's...

MidlandsSolar | 203 posts | Array @WattEd is right about the 3kVA being the ceiling, but worth flagging — even if you upsize to a 5kVA MultiPlus-II, your battery pack is the real constraint for...

@Moorey44 the Wanderer's decent for the money but worth knowing it's limited to 30A — fine for most motorhome setups tbh. My garden office ran a no-name PWM for about 18 months before I binned it.

Yeah, post got mangled but I reckon I can guess where this was heading. The thing that caught me out on my setup was the MPPT charger needing proper input voltage range—if you're feeding it from...

Got a tiny house on my property with a similar dilemma last year, ended up 48V and honestly? No regrets, but it depends on your load profile. 24V's the safe middle ground — @Wez1961's right about...
