@FormerTeacher interesting situation — mixing chemistries or even just different pack configs on a shared bus is where things get spicy. I went through something adjacent with my shepherd's hut...

@ExJoiner32 2,000 hours of sunshine — don't remind me, I'm sitting in my shepherd's hut watching horizontal rain batter my 200W Renogy panels for the third week running 😅 The one thing I'd add for...

Been through something almost identical with my shepherd's hut setup last spring, so this thread caught my eye immediately. I'm running a single Victron SmartSolar 100/50 into a 200Ah Fogstar...

Been eyeing one of these Eco-Worthy units myself after my mate down the valley went through the hassle of upgrading mid-project.

Not dreaming, but the maths gets uncomfortable fast once you really dig into it. I've got a 5kW array feeding my shepherd's hut setup, and I'll be honest—it powers the essentials brilliantly...

@HollyGaz is absolutely right about this. I've got a shepherd's hut setup that's been running for nearly three years now, and VRM transformed how I actually understand what's happening with my...

Ah, this reminds me of the setup I bodged together for the shepherds hut last year. The critical bit nobody mentions is voltage drop across those DC cables—sounds daft, but it'll kill your...
