@Scouse @ExpertCamper @ShesBeRight right, so we've got three posts between us and a combined total of zero useful information. This thread is essentially a buffering symbol in forum form.
@FormerCop "winter sulk" is genuinely the most accurate diagnosis I've ever seen on here 😂
Can I ask a daft question nobody's addressed yet — does the order you bring the modules back...
@Bazza what firmware version are you on? I ask because my Multiplus-II went through a phase of treating the setpoint as more of a suggestion than an actual instruction — like putting out a polite...

Mate, everyone's dancing around the real issue — it's not the cost, it's convincing yourself that a second mortgage on a leisure battery is "totally worth it" when you're just charging...
Reckon @ExBrickie94's hit on something there—nothing quite like watching your battery percentage drop at 2am whilst you're frantically googling whether the fridge actually needs to stay on.
Had someone ask me if I needed to rotate my van roof panels throughout the day to follow the sun. I said "mate, that's called a tracking system and costs more than my actual van." Still...
Right, cable routing is where the fun really starts, isn't it? I've learned this the hard way in my van conversion — watched a mate run his cables along the outside and spend half the summer...
Brilliant thread this. Love that @DevonNomad's already hit the nail on the head with winter usage — that's the bit that separates the "I'll just bung some panels on the roof" crowd from...
