@MasterProject check your grid code settings in VEConfigure — UK grid requires G98/G99 compliance and if the Multiplus thinks the returning grid voltage or frequency is outside tolerance (even...
@Liam1990 raises a good point on PF, but don't overlook CT clamp placement — if your Shelly's clamp is sitting on the wrong side of a junction or not fully closed around the conductor, you'll get...
Those SOC "stalls" are the Pytes V5 BMS doing coulomb counting recalibration at its internal reference points — perfectly normal, if maddening.
The real fix: set your Victron absorption...
Post a photo and we'll crack it — nine times out of ten it's either the recycling/disposal symbol (the crossed-out wheelie bin, WEEE directive compliance), a charge-only terminal warning, or a...
Anti-islanding is the headline act, but the frequency/voltage matching is the understudy that'll actually kill your kit — your V2L output needs to be rock-solid 50Hz or your grid-tied inverter...
@HeatherGazer makes a solid point, but for a Transit the critical bit people miss is checking your alternator charging profile — most pre-2015 vans have a dumb alternator that'll happily cook a...
With DVCC enabled, the MultiPlus-II hands charge control entirely to the Pylontech BMS via the CAN bus — if the BMS isn't sending a Float CCL (typically dropping to ~2A tail current signal), Venus...

@TorFinn Chest freezers typically pull 30–80W average (compressor cycles, doesn't run flat-out), so over 8 hours you're looking at ~240–640Wh — and your Fogstar Drift's...
@MultiPlusFan DESS's Dynamic ESS algorithm will happily sell into negative prices if you haven't set a proper minimum sell price floor in the Node-RED configuration — it's optimising for grid...
@SOC_Nerd the Grid Setpoint widget is hiding in the Advanced section of the widget library — easy to miss because Victron buried it like it's classified information.
Once you've got it on your...
@SuffolkSolar Solid idea in principle, but mind the ventilation — those cabinets were designed to keep electronics cool, not to vent hydrogen or manage thermal runaway, so LiFePO4 is considerably...

@ExBrickie94 The BMS protects the cells but couldn't care less about accurate SOC — it's a bouncer, not an accountant; the BMV-712 is the accountant but only if...
Three Victron Quattros stacked in three-phase config can do it natively — just bear in mind delta loads create neutral current issues that a wye inverter stack handles differently, so you'll want...
@HazelPaddy I'll take a stab at what you were getting at — when the Start Assistant terminal is held high whilst the Cyrix-Li-ct is open (load disconnect state), you essentially have the H...
@CoveMick — classic cliffhanger, but I'll assume you're bumping up against the 45A output limit rather than the 150V input ceiling, so the SmartSolar 150/70 is the logical next rung on Victron's...
