Long shot, but can anyone recommend an electrician who can help/install Victron Multiplus, ac coupled solar, 400Ah lithium. I could do it, but there are these passwords? AS applicable setups? Anyway, thanks in advance.

I bolt mine down cos' they keep getting stolen.

Suppliers on the internet give the impression their corner mounts are the thing to use because they won't be liable. Heaps of stuff flies off vehicles all the time, rubbish from trailers, surfboards, tradies timber, whatever. It's sad but cars crash from hitting animals too especially in...

It is made in India.

The Birds are out, the flowers are out but we can't go anywhere! Time for some cable tidying up..

yes. $4. its a 5 prong board the size of your little finger with a usb on the other end. I got it from banggood, or Aliexpress. I just ran the wires from the mk3 to the Rpi usb via the board and voila. No trannies, or resistors. The Victron serial is ground and TX,RX. that's it. I got it from...

Should visit Vietnam (prob the same in Central America) They fix EVERYTHING. There is a guy who can fix an umbrella. another who can vulcanise a tyre. Recondition the head on your motorbike (inc weld) all on the footpath. They come and visit you.

That sucks. Good luck.

when I was into 18650's I bought 4 liitokala's. people also like the opus. It would check 16 batts at 1 amp (changeable) in 5-8 hours. it also did a rough IR.

wood..

I am a hardware man and I found it quite easy. stick the card in. plug a monitor on. plug your usb things in (I made serial to usb converters but the victron ones are fine) mk3 to usb you might need. I turned it on and looked for it on my house wifi with the victron phone app. Not sure if I...

Then you would go " gee, this city living' is shit" and go back to the bush!

Victron easy solar.

in the 70's manuals would tell you how to adjust the valves on your car. Now they tell you not to drink the battery fluid. That said.. I label cables when building 'cos I've fried gear not concentrating (just got home from work) Double check. Don't be in a rush! I've been very keen to get it to...

It probably doesn't supply enough current to warrant a regulator and will sit at batt volts. Might be good to have running o/night.

On a ridge? wind? homemade (or get a local to make) savonius 40 gal drum generator(s) car alts or other local recon alternators?

emon do a water heater diverter 240 with a triac. hbpowerwall has a YouTube on low voltage heating.

Fresh air. Most of the world’s population live in humid conditions without all that stuff. They’ve just got a..house. They seem to have a lot more sex than the rest of us!

my name is not Steve but I thought the Batrium was the go. I just use active transfer balancer (20 bucks) and breakers/inverter-charger cutoff settings.

I applaud your exuberance! I was dreaming of running dc from batts back into the 215's at night. Too little time...

I think better house design and a move away from frack gas is the way forward. Pumping heat into the ground at your house (condenser side) is also good. Neighbourhood batteries to even out grid. Northern Australia has houses on stilts to let the air in. Or build underground in the desert...

You can keep them at 70-80.

Nice. Is the quattro the same as a multiplus II? with the grid connect function?

I think they're sinopoly.

Try Ian Goe. He can get stuff wifh good prices. Second hand stuff as well. Super capacitor/lithium battery Australia on FB. Can custom make.

There’s a few threads about overpowering mmpt solar controllers deliberately. Apparently they are ok. Victron anyway. Look at some info on this site...somewhere. I read it recently.

I was thinking of doing that with my enphase 215's. Why buy a whole inverter when you've got stacks on the roof. I was going to disconnect and reconnect with a relay sequentially. The 215's would regulate how much they can draw. a lot of wiring though...

Sounds fair. if its not too sunny you might get away with four panels.

maybe just for making M8-M12 lugs which are a fortune.

Which.. has anyone put cable into the pipe then flattened one end as a lug?

F&$k America has good spots. I've walked a lot of Australia/Asia/Europe but that's making me wanna come over!!

I have an envoy and I have come to realize that its just for carbon trading. You can go into the menu and turn off share with enphase. I unplugged the rj45. If you want to go and check details as soon as you connect it to the net it sends all your data to them and they can sell your offsets to...

'The warranty/internet connection seems odd to me. So is enphase telling me I can operate it in a way to harm it or will enphase adjust charge/discharge rates to conform as needed to keep warranty terms intact. I bet it's carbon trading. I disconnected mine from the net. They just sell Carbon...

Secondlifestorage has heaps of info.

Hey'all! I've got 3k of enphase and a multiplus 24-2000. started with 60Ah of 18650's now have 300Ah ex bus lipo4's running nbn and fridge off charger/inv for about a year. I am going to get into Arduino and load diversion. Nuthin' else to do down here! Great site. Also on secondlifestorage but...
