  • Small cabin plan

    I have all the major components (I think) and wanted to run this plan out for comment. This is 100% off grid, I will install it and this forum will get to inspect it. Equipment will be in a 3X5 closet. The 3' side is the outside wall and what is represented in the picture. Imagine the...
  • Victron Connect won't pair

    Having troubles with the allegedly simple Victron product. Tech support? What tech support........ hopefully this forum. Until then it's an expensive doorstop. MPPT 250/60 new from NAZ solar. Victron Connect App, apple iPhone 11 with whatever the latest software that gets pushed on it...

  • Can you trust the low temp cutoff in EG4 LL?

    The battery is in an insulated cabin in southern Ohio. Occasional use. 2-3 weekends a month depending on weather. Obviously not getting a whole lot of solar production now with the sun below the leafless trees until spring, but we get some. But with a full battery, we can run what we need...
