Hey peps.. I need to buy some batteries. I am currently using a couple Renogy 100AH's with a Bluetooth adapter. They were on short term loan and have to go back. So now I need my own batteries. The system is mostly Victron with a Multiplus Compact 2000, Cerbo GX, Lynx power in (used as a...

Hey folks.. I am demoing a system for some camera installers and showing them how to build small solar system. The coordinator bought batteries without discussion. They are ReLion RB20-LT. We will be hooking these up to a Victron Smart Shunt. Tomorrow morning I will be showing them how to...

Hey folks... Thought on programming a Multiplus? I have it but no means to program it other than learning the dip switches. I am not sure if the dip's give you programmability over all the functionality. I believe you have to have another device for all aspects of programming. Ideally I would...

Hey folks... Looking at some batteries for my trailer. I am currently using 3 x 100AH Renogy LiFePO4 that are borrowed when we are camping. I need to replace these with my own. I am getting a used Multiplus 12 - 2000 80-50 next week to replace some old crappy inverters I have been using...

Hey Folks. I cobbled together a power system last year in an 18' cargo trailer I am converting to a Travel Trailer. The Initial build was cheap/quick and mostly just stuff I had on hand. I did order a Renogy 50A DC2DC charger. I had to overcome a few hurdles but it actually worked quite well...

Hey folks. Not quite solar but mostly kinda related ;-) I have a sump pump that runs quite a bit through Fall to Spring. 5 Years ago when I bought the house I put in a 12V battery backed up pump. This has worked quite good but I need a new battery for it. I have some Renogy 100Ah batteries...

Hey Folks, I am building out a small DC system with a 1000W inverter for a new trailer I am getting in a few weeks... I am building it all on a bench so it can be setup and ready to go. I won't get into the details of the whole system but I have a bit of a brain fart issue and I cannot get the...

I have had a couple of travel trailers over the last few years. The family and I have put somewhere around 30,000Mi on. I have had some major frame issues with my last one so I sold it and plan to build my own. I just ordered an 18' all aluminum trailer that comes in about 6 weeks or so...

Hey Folks, As I move down the path to energy Eutopia I am starting to price options out and as I start roughing out plans. I think I finally got somewhere with my local Hydro One provider that will allow me to Grid Connect after getting the initial rejection... Sooo.. Where is the cheapest...

Hey folks... I am looking at diy'ing residential solar system and trying to wrap my brain around code. It's been a bit of a roller coaster as I got denied my grid tied application with Ontario hydro so I switched gears to building a smaller system. After a few phone calls though it seems like...

I have been edumacating myself on solar for the last few months. I originally was going to build a small test bed with one of the cheap aliexpress GTIL inverter and a handful of panels. As I learned more I decided to skip this phase and just go whole hog. I got quotes from solar providers up...

Hey Folks, I have got a couple quotes for Grid tied system at my house. Price wise I feel they are competitive to the market, it just feels like to much to pay though. With my payback being well over 10 years I cannot make the leap. That said however If I do a self install it looks like it...

Hey Folks.. Been reading forums and websites and watching a pile of Youtube videos for the last week or so.. Long term I am looking at installing a 18kW Net Metering system to zero out my bill. I am getting some quotes on this, but if I can work through the redtape I may well do the install...

Hey Folks.. Just starting to learn. I was trained as a Electronic Tech some years back so no completely stupid. I DIY much of everything and love to learn. A few questions.. For us Canadian Folks ordering from Aliexpress. What can I expect Duty/Brokerage/Tax wise? I am looking at assorted 3.2V...
