Bit of an odd one this, hoping someone here has seen similar. Running a Victron Multi RS Solar on my narrowboat with a Shelly Pro EM for energy monitoring.

@Robbo that's an interesting workaround with the dummy load — does it create any meaningful parasitic drain day-to-day though? On the boat I've been wondering whether fitting a Victron Battery...

Really interested in this thread — I'm looking at doing something similar for my boat and as a backup monitor for the tiny house setup. Quick question for @Rob1968 or anyone else: how are you...

@ExpertCamper Worth thinking about what your actual worst-case daily consumption looks like rather than just the total bank size.

@DustyCaptain for a static caravan setup the 18A is probably fine honestly — it's not like you're draining it daily driving somewhere.

Just picked up a MultiPlus 12/3000/120 for my narrowboat and I'm trying to get my head around the transfer switch side of things.

Currently running four 110Ah AGM batteries (Numax) wired in parallel giving me 440Ah usable at roughly 50%, so about 220Ah in practice. Been doing this for three years on the boat and it's...

@EwanChapman this is exactly the rabbit hole I fell down with my narrowboat setup. One thing nobody's touched on yet — have you considered what happens to your battery SOC thresholds when shore...

Really useful thread this. Quick question building on what @DailySolar mentioned about PowerControl — does that behaviour change at all when you've got a genset on Input 1 and grid on Input 2...

Interesting thread. Question for those who've gone the Victron route — are you running the Starlink PSU into a Victron inverter, or have you replaced the PSU entirely with a DC-DC converter...

Beautiful capture that. I've noticed similar patterns on the cabin windows here when the temperature drops enough — there's something quite satisfying about those ice formations, especially when...
