    Just an update on this. My 4.8 have been adjusted in January. They were all in series so any shading was causing major issues. I’ve now split them into 3 series strings in parallel. I’ve also replaced china inverter for 2 victron smart mppts and victron multiplus 2 5k inverter. Also added...

    Thanks for the reply. Yes its connected to a isolator switch. Getting 0v AC out of it just 25v DC, Guess that's fine then. Cheers

  • Post in thread: POwMR earth issue

    Hi I'll keep this basic but can add more to the post if needed. I've got a powmr 6kw inverter and It's powering my garage electrics. I've connected all the earth wires, and it has a 240v feed from the house fuse box. When the battery has power, it will invert the DC and power all my lights and...

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I’ve ordered a multi plus 2 5000 and collecting it Monday. I already have a victron shunt and 2 mppt chargers so makes sense to have everything victron

    Sorry I was playing about, but the settings u see above are what are now set. Below is VS settings which i have not changed. The DC shutdown ones are what I would like to set if the battery gets to 46.5V it will switch to AC and then switch back to Inverter mode when at 51V Also, if I overload...

    Hi, any of you guys from UK whats your solar been like this miserable summer so far? I got my solar panels start of July and it's not been great tbh. Only taken 3.1kwh from a 4.8kw system today!
  • Post in thread: Multiplus 2 5000 not switching between grid and inverter.

    Hi, A bit confused why my inverter won't auto switch when battery is low back to AC! It's all updated, and I've checked settings using VRM download and upload. Running 10kwh battery at 48v. Switch on inverter set to 1 and in VRM it's set to ON (stays on AC input) Any ideas pls

    Hi guys I have pow mr charger/inverter. 6kw max 500v dc model POW-HVM6 2M-48v I've just tested the voltage from its PV input mc4 connectors and its outputting 25v, is this normal? this is with all strings disconnected. So when i connect the strings, it must send 25v to the panels. Not sure...

    Thanks i see that now. Do I use drive multi or ignore AC setting in Usage tab?
  • Post in thread: Multiplus 2 5000 not switching between grid and inverter.

    Thanks. I just saw another of your vids and you say use dedicated ignore AC, Is this not the case for me then?
