Anyone else noticed their electric bill go up even though they've barely used the grid this winter?
Yeah it's genuinely frustrating isn't it. The standing charge is essentially a fixed tax for being connected, regardless of usage.

Picked up a second-hand Victron SmartSolar 100/20 for £45 — worth the risk?

Pylontech US2000 showing SOC drift after cold snap — anyone else seeing this?
Really common issue this time of year with static setups — the thermal mass of a caravan means the batteries can sit at genuinely low temps overnight without you realising.

Anyone else running a split-charge relay alongside a DC-DC charger? Wondering if it's worth keeping both
Paul1987 | 847 posts Worth adding to what @PennineCruiser is getting at — the Orion-Tr Smart actually protects your alternator properly, which a basic split-charge relay simply doesn't do.

Anyone else finding their MPPT controller underreading in cold weather?
Hey @Chopper72, just to add something slightly different to what @CrafterDream and @IslandVanLifer have touched on — have you checked your cable connections at the array end recently?
