what I meant by regular is connecting the solar panels to MPPTs, then Inverter/charger, BMS, B2B and lithium batteries. A lot of parts to buy and many opportunities to mess up. The EcoFlow seems a great option. I just wonder why nobody in the liveaboard world talks about it. Everybody is putting...

Thx Chris i haven’t bought anything yet. Still looking for the right solar panel (boat)

I actually did a summary of what I'll be needed

WOW!!!!! Thx so much.

Some people say that if one MPPT goes down at least I am still able to create some energy… I’ll be on a boat, offshore. What do you think

not sure if you were looking at the updated file I posted two replies up…. Replying to Maikail. If I understand correctly: . Removed Digitial Multi Control panel . Add BMS - where does it go? QUESTIONS: My batteries don’t have Bluetooth. What would you use? When I add Bluetooth, will I still...

So if I add Bluetooth device I do NOT need to connect SHunt to CErbo?

oh man.... last shot and I'll leave you alone :-)

Hi all. I am wondering how people set up the preferences in the MPPT and BMV712 as far as Charged voltage Absorption voltage Float I have 2 Dakota 200Ah 12v Thx all!

Thx so much!

I bought the batteries, I am just putting the puzzle together to get the solar energy to the batteries.

Great points!!! You seem pretty knowledgeable. For a 400w panel what Victron MTTP do you recommend?

what device or part do I need for this?

Hi all My starter, windlass and bow thruster batteries (regular 12 V) are not getting charged properly. I have 2x 400w solar 2 Victron mppt 2x 200Ah Dakota lithium Multiplus inverter charger DC to DC charger What’s happening: When engine running my ENGINE BATTERY ( name shown on my dashboard)...

You are saying to get the BMV 712 with a probe instead of a smart sensor right? what is a probe?… sense but a probe instead, right?

Here's what I am buying for my boat: 1200 W (2x400w and 2x200) solar set up on my boat. 2x 400Ah Dakotam Lithium LifeSp04 Battery 12v 4x MPPT Victron 100/30 1x INVERTER / CHARGER Victron Multiplus C 12/2000/80-50 120V DC to AC inverter and charger. 1x Victron Energy Cerbo-S GX for System...

Hi all. We are moving on our boat in the bahamas and we will rely on solar energy only - planning on getting 800-1200 W. 2 rigid panels will go on an solar arch in the back of the boat and some flexible panels on the Bimini. To keep the thread organized and focused, I just need advice on BRANDS...

Sorry for the question to be so unclear. I have a sailboat and 1200w of solar panels. I will be living off grid in the bahamas I was going to go the solar-mppt-inverter/chareger-400Ah Lithium LifeSp04 12v Now I am thinking: what about those big power station that can use solar to charge like...

I have 2 Dakota Lithium Life04 batteries

For my sailboat, 800 W (2x400w) I don't worry yet about the specs of each item. Thx friends!

oh ok. I do have a DC to DC but my electrician lost the "switch", the green insert H/L switch ....

thx I'll try to call tomorrow to see if they can advise me for marine / boat usage.

What did you go with Crispy since the comments were kind of contradictory

12v. May I ask how you calculate?

firs off thx! what do you mean by "same bus bar for batteries"? Isn't it what I have already?

sorry, what do you mean exactly? the switch between panels and MPPT?

wow.... thx... What do you think about not using any switch as the recommendation I received previously? Maybe I should have them closer to the batteries?

No. Should there be?

Aside from the specs. More concerned about the order and connections thx!
