Thank your so very much for your reply. In answer to a) Yes you are correct. I am not an electrician as you have gathered, but I refer to the loop of the two 16mm2 cables joined as a loop. b) I am sure that the loss may have been caused partly by the old MPP inverters. This could have at least...

Hello all. Please don't get upset at my lack of ability here. I hope it is enough to give you a basic idea. On the ring-loop main the EDF supply goes from the meter - then is joined by a connector to the 16mm2 cable, this goes to two consumer units. The first one connectors to the OUT on the...

I will attempt a schematic diagram but it will be basic SeaGal. I will provide some more detail. Yes the kWp is correct. This was built for allowing extra batteries for storage capacity. We have six Pylontech US3000 batteries at present but intended to increase. It seemed easier to build in...

Thank you MrB1959. The cable supplying the shed is only for the solar. It has no other circuits involved. The Inverter is a Victron Multiplus-II 48/15000/200-100 230v Inverter. I understand this can be set either way. Kind regards.

Thank you Neil. I was totally confident from my own perspective until I was persuaded otherwise. So in practice as long as I install the spur circuit from the mains feed in the house and also install in the solar house a complete circuit board with grounded earth, lightening protection circuit...

Thank you Neil. Can it be wired on a spur circuit though? I always understood that the inverter was its own entity. I appreciate your response. Kind regards,

Thank you Bongbong. At this stage I need to know if I can wire the inverter on a spur cable complete with its own circuit board and breakers. Once this is confirmed or declined then the voltage drop can be determined. Thank you so much for your kind response.

Hi all. Probably a very silly question but I need help please. I have a Victron Multiplus-II 48/15000/200-100 230v Inverter. I am in France and the solar system is around 60 metres from the main house. The previous electrician cut the house cable feed and inserted two 16mm2 cables in a ring from...

Yes. I bought these new. After delayed delivery lost in transit, I then had the planning regulations changed. I had to re-apply for planning but kept MPP advised. When planning arrived I again notified them and whilst installing again kept them apprised. Only used the inverters starting June 23...

Hi Sam. No repair. They say that I am out of warranty. They have not identified the cause of the issues to date. As the "malfunctioning relay" has never been discussed and only happened after months of other issues I have doubts as to what is actually wrong. The response is full cost of two...

Hi. I have been running two MPP 8048 PIP MAX in parallel. I have had problems constantly from day one. These ranged from communication errors to battery shutdowns and never got a resolution from Technical. After around six months of problems the mains power from the grid started blowing the...

I must admit this one does. He is very thorough and quick. It did take me very many different people before I found this one though!

Thank you Tim. My previous inverters were MPP. I am loathe to use them again as back up and support was so very poor. Such a shame because the pre sales service was exceptional. After sales does not appear to have been thought of.

Thank you Sam and a very good response. I live in France so have to use a French qualified electrician. Solar here in France is not common and it is just starting to become known to the public. Trying to find a Solar expert here is difficult. Wiring and sockets etc are different to the UK for...

Thank you again. Just thinking this through in my own mind here so, If I use the Victron Multiplus 11 inverter on the existing set up should I also use another Victron on the second set up. The reason that I ask is whether the output of the Victron has different phasing or anything to A N Other...

Thank you Tim. Connecting a separate system then, what do I need to cover in respect of the two AC connections? I assume fused circuit boards but how do I connect these. Do I have to have safeguards over back feeding one system into another or do I put two fused circuits into a master circuit...

Hello, firstly I am new to all forums but cannot find the answer to my questions from trades people. I am English and live in France. I have four solar rotators complete with ten 400 watt panels on each. I was using two 8 kwh inverters in parallel (c/w inbuilt MPPT) and six Pylontech US3000c...
