As I mentioned on another thread, my electric Co-op has adopted rather hostile pricing for bi-directional metering. So not looking to feed power back into my local grid, ever. Even if they lightened up, my states rules allow them to do things like charge retail going in (call it 15 cents/kwh) and pay wholesale going out (perhaps 4 cents/kwh). Just doesn't make sense to wire a system up that way here, much less given the extra inspections and legal liabilities.
That said, curious which would be better for me, the Victron Multiplus series or their Multiplus II, given that I'd never use the 2nd relay on the II model. Victron apparently still sells both. I care less about differences like aluminum vs steel cases. I hear the II modes are a bit more efficient (96% vs 95%ish?). I'm led to believe the IIs use more modern electronics, but I'm more concerned about future liability protection.
Thoughts?
