3:51 i Have got a Li NCA battery module bank and I wan to use 80% of its capacity for my ac loads , only when battery falls below 30% I would like to charge it from grid . what SOC setting should I put in min SOC option here?
@@TheOffGridShop MMPT Charger from Victron My set up is for my RV here in the United States. I have 1200W of solar, Two multiplus iix2 120v in parallel, and 150V/100A MMPT charger from victron, All linked through the Lynx Shunt, distributer, CerboCX and touch50. I do need to upgrades my batteries though.... But solar works fine when not connected to shore but when connected to shore its showing no more than 80W from the panels. I just want to maximize the use of the solar while still connected to shore. From your video this process seems like my solution, is it?
Hi, I wanted to know if you can change the parameters of the ESS without internet connexion and the VRM protal? Do I need the color control, or does the Cerbo GX suffice to do those settings without internet?
I have 5kw of solar to charge 28kw of pylontec I also have 3kw of ac coupled on ac out and have the grid but would like solar to power loads and then use battery's a little small amount of grid later on like cooking
Forgot to mention quattro 8k 230v I have a 150/85 color gx etc I use a crappy sunny roo 4200 auz inverter never let me down so untilk it breaks I'm keeping it
The battery will charge when the SoC is smaller than "minimum SoC" and grid is available. Is it possible to disable that? I don't want to charge from the grid, I'd rather wait for PV power.
Year 2021 what does Victron inverters use to make sure anti-Islanding is happening. Most installers seem ignorant about the Current Transformer (CT Clamp), how to install it and it seems Victron suppliers are relatively quiet about this
The Multiplus II have built in anti islanding. The rest of the Victrons your require to install a relay which Victron do supply. We use an energy Meter rather than the CT.
@@TheOffGridShop No, was hearing they’re now partnering, unofficially with another company for the ability to stop islanding. Remember schematic designs being different may result in some leakages during a power blackout so they need to look at their various markets and approved installers especially in 3rd world countries were legislation is lax or non-existent in order to have products that suit, not necessarily a one size fits all or insist on a particular schematic design as a bare minimum and not just product selling.

Hello, hope you can help, I have just setup a victron system for ess but it is currently only working as passthrough with batteries as backup, all my settings and parameters are similar you the ones on your screen. Thanks in advance for any advice
@@angrydigestive Oh okay, did you have an external meter or used the internal from the multiplus? I am not using any GX device for the moment, and also wanted to know if I can configure the ESS system without internet, let's say with the CERBO GX. Or do I absolutely need the color control GX?
Hi, I called Victron and ask for a battery charger for 24v nickel iron battery bank they said we dont have anything to do that. I dont need a inverter charger just a battery charger 36v 100amp minimum (250 amp optimal) for charging the bank. Its a 24v bank consisting of 20 1.2v 1100amp batteries.
We drop cells out and use the Victron products. We normally just run 19 cells and charge at 1.65 volts per cell. let us know how you go. We use the inverter chargers to do this and you can use just a charger. If you cant get one w e can supply one programed for you.
In the states you can get Magnum and some midnite stuff. I think the new Latronics stuff can run a higher voltage in 48. Not sure on there 24v systems.

On your colour control GX device go to settings - ESS - minimum SOC (and from here you can set the state of charge to 30%).
yours says pv inverter. Mine says pv charger. Whats the difference and can I still do ESS
PV inverter is because mine is AC coupled. And PV charger is an MPPT direct to batteries. Which do you have?

Yes and you will want the Cerbo or a colour control and a MK3 tool.
Where is the link my friend about ess and how to set up I take it I do it with my mk3 USB
What do You what to do? If your System is online You don't require and MK3. They have made changes and I require to do an update video on this.

How much excess solar do you have? And do You have a GX device in your set up?
@@TheOffGridShop yes I have a color gx and after loads I have about 1500w

Yes that can be done.
@@TheOffGridShop Thank you for the quick reply! Do you know roughly where I can find that setting?

@@TheOffGridShop Any experience with Prepaid meters and where the energy meter would be located?
No. I know Victron do have a small prepaid off-grid unit. It's basically an MPPT. Have you got something you have used?

Apologies. We missed this. Did you sort it?
@@TheOffGridShop yeah thanks got it sorted.

Or an MMPT that would do it at 36v 100amp min
Your best solution is to drop a cell. Only run 19. That's what we used to do with victron and Nice cells.
@@TheOffGridShop yeah seen that done, thought by now there`d be something made for them.
