Load Sharing and Sharing of Battery Charging Burden In Victron

[RotEvery]

On my Sorotec VM II inverter system there's a PAL setting that makes the Solar and Grid to share the load and share the battery charging burden during the day. Is there such a simple way to achieve this in Victron systems? Not sure how to do this on my Quattro/RS 450/100/Cerbo GX/LFP Batteries system.

Simple? No. robust? yes.

You may be able to use VS to simply toggle AC input based on battery voltage.

You may be able to use VS to simply toggle AC input based on battery voltage.

I've played around with VS and found out it doesn't quite work the way the PAL setting works in Sorotec. Victron should consider having a simple setting that achieves same purpose as the PAL setting.

Simple? No. robust? yes.

The application I'm talking about doesn't involve any form of exporting power back to the grid. So, ESS doesn't seem suitable and if used, would be too complicated arrangement/settings.

Export is only a part of ESS.

How does the PAL system work? Got a manual?

Isn't this part of DVCC?

I'm confused on what share the load means. I'm assuming you want solar to bulk charge as much as possible then grid to supplement up to the max of the battery. This is what I believe DVCC does, it shares the settings and max charge rate.

No.

DVCC sets system wide voltage and current charging restrictions and enables shared temp, current and voltage sensors. It's also needed for giving a compatible BMS control of a Victron system.
