@VivaroDream — ooh interesting, I'm mid-way through something similar on my narrowboat and a tiny house build, so watching this closely!
Quick question before you commit — what's your roof...
@Spider this is something I've been wrestling with for my own boat setup too! Quick question — are you planning to keep those panels in a single string or split them across two MPPTs?
I ask...
Really interesting thread this — got me thinking about my own setup on the boat.
Running a Renogy Wanderer PWM at the moment and honestly wondering if it's been throttling my 200Ah Fogstar Drift...
Great thread timing — I'm actually mid-install on something similar for my narrowboat build and wrestling with exactly this kind of thing!
@EwanChapman while you sort your post out, could you also...
@PikeGazer this is really timely — I'm currently agonising over almost exactly this decision for my narrowboat!
Quick question though: how are the Fogstar Drift units handling partial...

@HalfAJob I've had almost identical on my narrowboat — 200W felt plenty during summer but come October it's a different story entirely.
@BoatIan this is something I've been genuinely curious about too, living aboard myself!
One thing nobody's mentioned yet — what happens on a cloudy UK day when your panels are barely producing...
Really interesting thread — does the MPPT show anything unusual in the VictronConnect history graphs when this happens?

Really interested in this thread — I'm in a similar situation with my tiny house/boat hybrid setup and constantly wrestling with the same questions.
@SolarJunkie you've got me curious now — what...
Just taken delivery of a 4x280Ah LiFePO4 pack from Fogstar for my narrowboat build and noticed the cells arrived with quite different state of charge levels — one was sitting at 3.27V, another at...
@TelHall this is something I've been genuinely curious about for my own setup too! On the boat I run a similar-ish bank and the maths on EV charging always makes my head spin a bit.
Quick question...

@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...
