I would highly recommend that you get his book and pay for his help. He worked with me for months through emails to build my system from 24 volts to a top of the line 48-volt system. This DIY forum is one of the best sources of information you'll find if you're going DIY. It's a small system...

I too have a whole house Generac running on propane and it is so nice to be able to go out turn it off and let my Victron run our critical loads. I have saved a lot of propane with solar these past couple weeks with several outages.

My Victron MultiPlus II 48/3000/35-50 120v Inverter/Charger has a setting for 50 or 60Hz.

I am so glad I installed the transfer switch. Since my system is small and cannot run everything, I like the ability to pick and choose what I run from solar at any given time with just the flip of a transfer switch. I love this feature of my system.

No.

I did an easy modification of the Lynx per a YouTube to add fuses to the Lynx. I needed one more fuse so I added the Blue Sea Systems 2151 Dual MRBF Terminal Fuse Block to the positive bus bar to gain more fused outputs...

I have a Victron system. I really like my 6-circuit transfer switch. I can choose quickly what I want to run from my batteries/solar or from the grid. Sometimes I switch everything to the grid except my Freeze Dryer. After running the freeze dryer on batteries/solar for 24 hours or so I can...

I changed the tilt on all my panels from January 51 I changed from the January 51 degree tilt to the February tilt of 43 degrees based on https://www.shaktipumps.com/solar-calculator.php

You fixed my problem. The main problem is I'm 77 years old and it just doesn't take much to get my mind wrapped around the axle. I was confused with your multiple methods of ignoring AC input. Anyhow I really appreciate your kind help. You made me stop and rethink the whole thing. I love...

No, when I short the orange pair it does not click the relay in the MP. Yes, my Relay 1 is set for the Generator start/stop function.

I have watched Adam De Lay's YouTube over and over and followed it in making all the changes to my MultiPlus II and my Cerbo GX. I have double checked my cat wire from MultiPlus to my Cerbo. I have done everything I can think of and still my MultiPlus will not Ignore the Grid. My Generator...

Thank you very much for this information. This is what I've been needing to hear. I really appreciate your reply.

I already have a 6 circuit ProTrans transfer switch installed. I can switch 6 of my critical AC loads from grid to solar.

Yes, if you are referring to the ecoflow smart home panel. I don't think that will solve my dilemma. It's also pricey.

I watched and enjoyed your YouTube on this subject a few days ago and I'll probably end up running the wire to do just that. After reading the ESS manual it just seems like there is a better way using ESS. I have been struggling with this for several weeks. The research is wearing me down. I...

What I'm trying to accomplish with ESS is for my system to power my AC loads with minimum power coming from the grid. I want my solar to have priority over the grid to power my AC loads and charge the battery.

No, I am sure I don't understand the term "Not grid-tied". I am grid-tied. I'm not planning to push excess PV power back into the grid. I don't know how to do that. I am very sorry for that statement. I am still very new to solar and just trying to make my system work without blowing it up.

I want the features listed in the ESS Manual in the introduction. https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Energy_Storage_System/6292-ESS_design_and_installation_manual-pdf-en.pdf

I'm trying to add the ESS Assistant in the Victron configuration tool. It requires a Grid-Code which is not available for North America. I don't have a grid tied system. So how can I take advantage of the features of ESS Assistant if I can't install it? I have heard of some who use the...

Well, leave it to dummy me. I was looking at the device list in the Remote Console. When I finally realized what you all were talking about, I clicked the "Device List" on my VRM and there it was. I deleted it and it's gone. Thanks so much for the help.

My device list only shows one temperature and it's the good "Room Temp" sensor. Thanks for your reply.

I think I now have #1 and #2 Fixed. Thank you. #3 is still a problem. How can I provide a link to My VRM like you do on the forum signature? I'm still very new to this solar stuff. Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for your reply. #1 - I honestly don't know which is best. I originally selected "Automatic" for the primary battery monitor. I changed it to the SmartShunt thinking that would force the change on my VRM. That did not change anything that I could see. I think I want the MP II to be...

About a week ago I did a factory restore with a thumb drive for my Cerbo GX. I had locked myself out of Node-Red in the Cerbo and I did the restore to regain access to Node-Red. That part worked and I can now get into Node-Red. But the restore messed up my VRM Portal. I have tried everything...
