Really interested in this thread — I've got a similar setup on my narrowboat and the induction hob has been the bane of my existence too.
One thing nobody's mentioned yet: have you checked your...
@WD40Wizard78 slightly different setup here — narrowboat rather than van — but the thermal lag problem is identical.
Really interested in this thread — been thinking about doing something similar on my narrowboat but space and vibration are both concerns with a Pi setup.
@ExSquaddie does Venus OS Large run...
Has anyone tried going upright in that space instead? On my narrowboat I had a similar headache with a tight locker — ended up standing the Fogstar vertically and it actually cleared things...
Good thread. One thing nobody's mentioned yet — the enclosure itself. On the narrowboat I wrestled with this for ages.
@FormerCop that battery compatibility point is really interesting — did you find the Goodwe played nicely with lithium once you'd sorted the BMS communication, or were you still getting random...
Has anyone else run into what looks like a bug with (D)ESS where the grid power limits seem to be calculated based on a single-phase current limit even when you're on a three-phase...

Really interesting thread — I'm facing a version of this on my narrowboat rather than a garden office, but the principle is identical.

@Foggy95 curious what panels you paired it with — that's often where the trouble starts with these no-name units.
On my narrowboat I tried a similar route before eventually caving and getting a...
