Ok, this is my planned update diagramed out: Get a lynx power in and update it for in-line fuses. Move the charge controller and the inverter connections to the power in. This should set the smart shunt up to be correctly wired and be able to monitor all charging and discharging properly...

I thought this might work, but then I was worried about how the positive input from the charge controller would be wired so differently and to the opposite end of the battery bank. It’s good to know I wasn’t crazy for thinking this small change could work. I’ll just do the busbar and fuse...

Yep, I actually already have the VRM USB cable and have it hooked up to Solar Assistant and working correctly. Obviously this is all massively hindered by the fact that I have the smart shunt wired incorrectly and it is only picking up the battery output and not the input from the charge...

Thanks for the help! - inverter is 6,000 watts - batteries are "incell" branded 100ah 48v server rack with what I believe is a built in BMS within each of them (sorry if my terminology is incorrect on that). They are lithium ion. - system voltage is 48v - build is within a home not RV, but it...

Thanks! Do you think the lack of fuses and/or busbars is causing the crazy startup procedure?

I've recently built an off grid home in Belize. The solar system was installed as part of a package and I had no control over the specific components, wiring etc. I'm now trying to understand the system top to bottom and begin making improvements to it starting with the installation of a smart...
