My understanding is that the MPPT(s) charging bypasses the inverter and charges the batteries directly so the Inverter uses any power coming in from the MPPT by defaul. Victron MPPTs can communicate with the MultiPlus (and Quattro) although I don’t know exactly there is to communicate...This new Victron seems to be missing a useful feature available on the Samlex EVO series, does it allow direct connection and load sharing for external MPPTs or generators? Samlex treats the battery bank like a big flywheel and combines available input power sources to supply the inverter/charger.
The new MultiPlus will supplement the AC source regardless of whether it is shore power or generator. Additionally it can be programmed to start a generator, here’s a snippet from the manual:
Programmable relay
The MultiPlus is equipped with a programmable relay. The relay can be programmed for different applications, for example as a
starter relay for a generator.
