    Grid Tie Victron ESS with DIY LiFePO4 Battery in Australia - Regulatory Issues?

    Awesome setup! Thanks very much for sharing. Do you have to register your battery with the local wholesaler? If not how come? One thing I don't understand is the conditions by which you do / or don't need to register. Did the sparky have anything to say about it...

    I'm not sure I understand. What was installed exactly if the battery is still on its way? Can you share some more info about work completed?

    Grid Tie Victron ESS with DIY LiFePO4 Battery in Australia - Regulatory Issues?

    Still the same issue .... is it within 'the (stupid) regulations' and even if its a 50/50, can you find someone to sign off on it and ratify it with the electrical wholesaler in your area. Getting a multiplus to work on the grid is not hard; it's all those regs. Look at the options for the...

    Grid Tie Victron ESS with DIY LiFePO4 Battery in Australia - Regulatory Issues?

    I think you are spot on, and to this point, it will be a tall order to get any qualified electrician to sign off on the inverter knowing this (if it is not approved). Difficult - but I guess not impossible - again open to interpretation if you add 3rd party devices. The sparky doesn't want to...

    Can I change address of jk bms

    I found this: I wonder if it's possible to apply the same principals in the video to change the address. What program are you using to view the data there?
