Sorry, my bad, also, delete that one two. Iam mean 2 too. Again, I was just thinkin. As usual, I have to edit my brain because, whiere is a person supposed to go. By the time you register it is three days old. I figured if you have a problem, they say only if you have enough money. So I say...

OK, the only correct answer has been forwarded. It is late, but I have to state that I was way off and trying to fix it using the "Fantastic DIY Forum" that relying on people, no matter how wonderful everyone is here...The correct way was obvious. This question was properly addressed by the...

I am happy to struggle with anything. I have done difficult things before. I am only stupid, because this Victron equipment is truly new to me, and if it looks like I am stupid, I must be because I am failing to know what everyone around me concludes that "It really is easiest to understand how...

I could have sworn I have covered this. I love this forum too much to ever become nasty. 1. Yes, just remember, AFAIK this was (in part) customized because CC included a note saying ??somehow settings are assuming Lithium ion or lifepo calibration curves". I also see in the manual or settings...

I'm not fighting, I can call customer support. I don't see any confusion over my mistake or reason for asking this question. I said 25 ways what I want. I can't get the responses I'm looking for. Great forum, quick answers, I can expect but not deserve an answer, but I still try. Next time I'll...

Is this still a DIY forum? Have I entered the solar twilight zone? Just kidding.

I am using the newer usb cable and that's right it is the name of the program. Part of the problem is everyone says the CERBO is the way to nirvana for Victron equipment. If I can't figure out where the Bluetooth dongle connects, or if it is like the MPPT dongle first, get it working then yank...

You must be from India. A lot of people lose money using this tactic. Don't train me to be an idiot. I'm already close enough.

I am aggravated that I have no idea what..., I mean tech is great and fun to learn, but this is too basic to explain. Can I just start over and learn or relearn from the beginning RESET to start over. You want details? there is a setting of 63V somewhere that protects the battery. How would I...

Whatever annoying crashes/power switches and my understanding of these Victron Units are, I find some aspects of this hardware to be very frustrating. What Frustration? OK, It takes an engineer to adjust the settings, so you must type "zzz" to legally agree that you should even change anything...

Ask me again in 20 years and I'll tell you how long those batteries lasted. We think what we want. You think that girl is pretty? Marry her and I'll check back some day.

I clicked on the button at top. The green check next to it changed like all of this conditional ac input stuff listed below counts, that check spun around and the button moved to enabled or disabled. May be a weird thing, but documentation must describe this. I figure if something clearly...

Here is an option I can't figure out. I have been playing with options like you see here. Maybe my eyesight is bad, but my changes have been few and minor because this is new to me. Today the inverter shut off and it took a while to figure out what happened. This thing was clicking and making...

I have brought this notion up before such as "If my NO GRID TIE system uses the ground that comes from the Main panel of my house, and that ground is connected to the panel I am putting together and that panel is only used for solar that I generate, (keep going) and I may or may not use AC from...

I will take a crack at this. I am not an expert, but from what I know the principles are as follows; A. Ground and Neutral are continuous (bonded, connected, equal, or any other damn word you want to use) only in the main panel. B. Other panels or subpanels or whatever you want to call them...

Maybe I made an assumption about a graphic. I have had several people come to my door trying to talk me into solar. I had intentionally semi-hidden my panels a part of the roof that could not be seen easily. It proves that I did a good job, because, now and then, someone knocks on my door and...

I don't talk to these people. they are the opposite of DIY. Maybe this guy isn't so bad, but the title page with a guy counting dollar bills just set me off. I may watch this later.

I haven't seen more than 10 seconds of this video, and I can't help but paste this here.

Waitaminute, if grid charge current is set to 0A, I don't get it. The original question is how to charge a battery bank on command (from the grid) using various AIOs or inverters. I may have confused people with my description, I often do. The chargeverter was an obvious winner, but it's a...

I think I should drop the whole thread. I made an assumption that systems should work in a certain way. In truth, firmware updates can make equipment behave in different ways for different people. Trying to make sense of machines that you don't really control is a kind of futile effort. I will...

I posted something earlier today about "Charge Now" along similar lines. I spent a lot of the day confusing myself. Just saying there are a lot of people with similar experiences just like there are a lot people in CA. It has been a big storm.

Interesting, I remember an episode from "Keeping up Appearances" where Richard does the electrics at the Church and he is in the dark making a mess of things. That is about what I would do if I were in the UK messing with the electrics.

Thanks again, I have been thinking about putting together my own (solar) electrical panel, and in my garage is an ungrounded system (like most of my house) that only has a couple of circuits in use, because one is a 240V system (actually grounded) that I have used for a welder. It's there for a...

That's what I thought. I have run this AIO with different settings and have found that it does work as this program says. But manuals don't/can't explain this easily. What it says is true, it can and will charge from the Utility. But if I am sitting there with biblical rains in the forecast...

I think they are like batteries. Best to combine identical batteries to make a battery bank. Best to combine identical panels to get the most out of them. Otherwise you are making a compromise. It's your decision to combine them as you like if you are happy with the result (and don't burn down...

To put it another way, the Victron settings and logic appear to be easier to use and better thought out than the 6500ex. It is confusing in many ways. It says what the settings should do, but they interact with each other, and the manual is pretty good, but making a complex system sound simple...

Oh well, I just ran a high load and got it to reset over about an hour of time. I'm interested in how the 6500ex works but also how other systems handle this.

The scenario is - Bad Weather coming - Solar system in Winter is low because it sucks at the moment. The weather man says LOOK OUT, Something is on the way. So what do you do? Victron Multiplus inverter - Change AC Input Control -> Connect when SOC Drops Below to 95% or 99% 6500ex - I set...

I have another thread where I beat that horse to little pieces. I think I understand it. One observation I would like to share with DIYers is no one should be spending a lot of money on mounting panels. It isn't that hard. We should have a contest for the simplest / cheapest design. Really all...

What's for supper? A hiker.

Thanks all for the help. I have three brands of panels, but mainly I will be using Trina Vertex S which are 1754 x 1096 mm, or 69" x 43" 390 watt panels. Code says Panels shall be adequately anchored to the roof framing at a maximum of 4’ on center vertically and horizontally. Rails are the...

I saw another thread that mentioned this, but the answer was "what do you mean." Well, don't try that here, because that is my question. What does it mean in reference to mounting solar panels. Here is my local code Begin This is to clarify the non-engineered requirements for solar...
