@Tommo ooh this rings a bell! Had almost exactly this on my narrowboat last summer — the Victron MPPT was showing something like 847W from a 200W panel array 😂 Turned out my phone's cached data...
@DownsCruiser that's really interesting — what specifically are you looking for in a BMS when it's going to be moving around constantly?
@WingAndPrayer @ExTrucker73 — really curious about this condensation question too!
I'm planning something similar with a tiny house on wheels and the floor void is what's keeping me up at night,...
Ooh this is really timely — just commissioning a parallel LiFePO4 setup on my boat and DVCC has been baffling me too!
Quick question for the thread: does anyone know whether the "limit...
Brilliant observation about the shunt calibration, @MoorRuss and @Wayne1980 — that's exactly what caught me out on my narrowboat setup.
One thing I'd add though: have you lot checked the actual...
Cheers for the thread idea @AnneButler — been eyeing bifacials for my narrowboat setup. My concern is I'm mostly moored on muddy towpaths and occasionally concrete, so I'm wondering whether the...
@Nessa73 worth asking — what's your main use case here? Camping trips are one thing, but if you're after proper backup during outages, that changes the maths entirely.
For £300-350 you're...
Have you checked what your actual array voltage is hitting under load? I ask because on my narrowboat setup, I discovered my string wasn't properly balanced—one panel was shaded by the mast at...
Curious about your winter generation figures with the split array — are you seeing meaningful gains in those grey December weeks?
Been wrestling with this exact problem in my narrow boat conversion, so genuinely curious about your setup @ExFirefighter11.
The instantaneous draw is brutal, yeah, but has anyone factored in what...
Been saying this for months. The irony is we're all obsessed with power consumption and efficiency, yet the forum practically demands we burn our eyeballs just to read a thread about saving...
Been thinking about this setup—@CotswoldNomad, what's your actual load profile like in the workshop?
Good question. Temperature's critical here — most inverters max out at 40°C ambient, and vans get properly toasty in summer.
