Can this actually be converted to US 240v 60hz? It says on the spec sheet but I am unaware of how big of a work around that is

How would the Multi RS compare to the Multiplus-II, when it comes to zero feed-in grid parallel operation?

Hi I have read that is not compatible with VE Bluetooth Smart Networking, how do you sync charge parameter if you have for example a SmartSolar charging in parallel the same battery ? Can you use CAN BUS and just daisy chain the 2 devices ?

Great idea! My son needed something like this to prevent his solar system's battery from being drained when he's at work and loadshedding unexpectedly kicked in. Would you not get an "faulty element" error on your Geyserwise?

Hey, i have some help for them all

Greetings, I've had the Multi RS Solar since the very beginning and follow the progress and functionality of the hybrid every week, 3-phase configuration has been added, parallel switching capability is guaranteed to come and most recently the Victron CEO (Vader) said that an ESS with the new Victron There will be an energy meter, I'm curious, it can also feed into the grid but only to a limited extent. I use it with an RS450/100 and PV inverter and a 10kWh Lto energy storage. Greetings daniel

Hi Alan where can I buy charger for that flat battery you have in video no where in Ireland have it

Bonjour Alan je découvre ta chaine, merci de ton retour sympathique est très bien expliqué. J'hésite à acheter le multiplus 2 en 3000VA/24V, car l'été j' accumule la machine à laver avec la pompe piscine ce qui me fait des pointes à 2700W voir 2800W pendant 20 minutes. J ai un MasterPower type (Voltronic) 3000W/24V qui tient ces pointes sans soucis, mais le multiplus 2 est un 3000VA pas 3000W, est ce qu'il sera capable de tenir ces pointes de 2700W voir 2800W. D'après tes explications lorsque tu dépasses les 2400W il va chercher une autre source d'énergie cela pendant 30 minutes environ. Je suis en Off Grid (onduleur hybride)mais j'ai le réseau en secours, car l'hiver je n'ai pas assez de solaire pour alimenter ma maison. Et acheter le 5000VA24V c'est presque le double prix, donc en écoutant tes conseils je devrais prendre le 3000VA?

I have this. After an update at the end of 2023 it stoped powering my air con. Now I have to get a Control GX or Cerbo GX to adjust the aes setting. Could you maybe do a video on adjusting the aes setting on this inverter?

Thanks, Alan, how can I get hold of someone to do this connection and programming for me. I have the components but not many installers have the necessary experience.

Hi. Great video 👍🏻Please can you tell me what type of cable do you use to connect the inverter to the cerbo ? I know it can be connected via ve.can but as far as i know there are 2 models of ve.can cables. Thanks

Or you could wire all those loads on the ac-out2 port (that turns itself off when on a outage) of the Multis and remove all those fail prone parts you added. Could had been interesting if you added the configuration procedure for controlling the multis relay.

I've got one of these. It is a fantastic inverter at doing it's 3main jobs, inverting, charging, solar input. It is super quiet no fan noise or buzzing. It is VERY feature light compared to multiplus so if your expecting VE Config, Parallel, 3 phase, ESS, etc, etc then you won't be getting it with this. Out of the box it doesn't even have any scheduled charge function in the Bluetooth app. You plug it in, it charges, you unplug it, it stops. I've got round this by using a Cerbro and Node Red to do some basic programming on the AC input. As it stands - I think it needs another 6-12 months of firmware upgrades etc before it can compete with the Multiplus II - but even right now, for off grid / camper / motorhome / boat / shore power use it is phenomenal you could literally mount it next to your bed and still sleep. Can be used in the house as long as you are going to power the loads from the inverter (no ESS feeding back to grid etc). Overall 7/10 and I expect it to go up to 9/10 with more firmware improvements.

Yes ive have multi rs 48/6000/100 but its lot difference from south Africa one as it only one mppt controler 4 kw, four solar plug has screw terminals for 240 volt in and out.. lm have trouble running mine with grid as keep tripping rcd input side,,think i should just have circuit breaker on grid side but im living in Australia hard to change this cheers

Looks great, I wanted to buy one so to avoid the need for extra solar chargers. How efficient is the mmpt charger compared to mppt250/100? Thanks again for the video

I’ve been waiting for someone to review this product for quite a while. It would be great is you could do it with audio.

Sorry Alan can't hear a word

Hello. I'm Eugene. I reset the battery as follows. I took an adjustable source of 60 v. I put on Plus and Minus of the battery. The two big pines, and I started from 0v slowly slowly and done. Activated! Good luck with that

If having a 5 kVA inverter how is it possible to get more kw out of the charger than the inverter is rated

I believe ev-charger docs say that 1 phase ev charger can charge UP to 3kw, and 3-phase can charge up to 22kw. That may be the cause.

Can the system run in reverse where the EV battery can feed back to help run the inverter?

Hi Alan thanks for this useful video. Any chance you can post more detail on how to set this up please?

I built an off grid system inside a toolbox, 24v 50Ah LifePo4 battery, Victron solar charger, Chinese 3000w (surge to 6000w) inverter, I run my fridges and freezer on sun shine days and only the fridges at night. I have 4 by 100w solar panels that I deploy during the day in my back yard, then bring them in at night. Now I am thinking of a 5kw hybrid system so I can make an off grid distribution board and run the plugs as required, thus 2 systems in one house. I am an Installation Electrician, retired.

I have 2 of them 8 years. With a victron smartshunt saw me -120w with no load and -58w with the one closed. And its 48v agm batteries system 230v output

Fantastic idea bud. Was just wondering. Is there anyway to get this to work with the Sonoff Temperature and Humidity THR320D. For example to wire in the Temperature sensor so that the sonoff sees it. I also want to pur the water sensor in that water catch tray so that if there is a leak it can cut power and send me a notification. Maybe even trigger a cut-off valve for the water.

8 years later an im getting this exact same thing for the exact same problem.....welcome to SA

Can we also have a video of the victron energy ns?

Nice system.

Have you found out what the problem was? My 2016 BEV is also charging at around 3kw and does not go beyond that, but I don't have any warning as you mentioned.

Looking forward to your next videos. Not much content about this.

Thanks for this 😀

Hi there do you ahve any videos regarding the wiring of the ET112 energy meter?

Thanks for the video Mate, sets my mind at ease as i just purchased the fusion solar Energy from Solar Advice, paid a fortune hope the service is good and I get my return on investment in a few years.

IP67 is best for outdoor, how good is IP44?

use the Victron Energy SmartSolar Pluggable Control Display with an RS232 extension cable from your mppt SmartSolar controller to the required location? - less than 50UKP

Thanks for video. Please keep at it… fellow Capetonian here looking at similar options.

This is a case optimising 6mins of useful info.Thanks.There certainly is confusion out tgere and whats worse is half the installers should not be installing.

Its the KLE module, pretty common problem, cost 2500$ to replace

Just wondering what area this is in? Is it inland or close to the coast Just wondering how durable the Unistrut will be at the coast? Also the dissimilar metals, aluminium, galvanized steel and the powder coated steel?

I've just had the same problem with my 2019 i3s. It charges fine using my home charger but I tried to charge it using a car park charger (MER) and it would only accept a maximum of 3.2KW. The MG ZS plugged into the same charger was pulling over 7kw. My "in car" settings are at set to maximum current so I can only conclude that my cable is damaged or the charger only pushes out a maximum of 11kw and the MG was there before me so therefore it had already taken the lions share of the current available?

Hi Allen i bought a inverter like this 1 do you maby have a manual for this model you instaled?

That stand-by load sounds incredibly high? What would the point be of these mecer units if you lose half a kilowatt an hour? Also, there should be no switch-over time loss, they can be set to UPS then the switchover is 10ms. I think you have yours on application instead.
