    I've just bought the multipluss 2 (not installed yet) and this short vid has been very informative. Thanks

      Thank you for the feedback. Appreciate it. If you have any questions just ask.

    Off grid seems like a simple concept yet everything you discussed was for grid connected systems.

    • @TheOffGridShop
      @TheOffGridShop  11 месяцев назад

      Yes ESS is a setting for using Victron as a Hybrid system connected to the grid.

    Hello, thanks very much for your sharing, it's a great video. We encountered a small problem with a Victron ESS we installed. Our battery is 50kwh, but recently the VRM always prompts a battery low voltage alarm. It shows " VE.Bus System Low battery: Alarm ". Can you help with analysis? 😃

    GOOD DAY, to make the settings in the GX multiplus, is it possible through Victron Connect? How do you log in to a multiplus ii GX to make operating settings?

    • @TheOffGridShop
      @TheOffGridShop  3 месяца назад

      It all depends on what you want to change. The best is to have it connected to the Vrm portal and you can do everything you want as long as you have installer access. ruclips.net/video/_zSm9i58tYQ/видео.htmlsi=ZtM7HBjUMgvvM2an

    Hello, I have a victron system with two multiplus Quattro inverters, but peak shaving does not work for me, when I try to activate AC input the inverter rejects it, could you please help me?

      Where are you located? Which country? And what are you trying to achieve?

      It’s some issue with the AC supply most likely

    Hi. could you help me, I have a massive problem with ESS. In your video you mention it is ideal for offgrid use, but you actually mentioned a lot of use considering the use a grid power source. I have a multiplus II with a smartsolar 150/100 and a 48V agm bank, 6 panels of 555w each,. no matter what i do, it uses the batteries after absorption by the morning, discharging it, even if theres a TON of sunlight, how can I set this up for keeping the batteries charged in idle and use the solar for small loads? I know it will use the batteries for big loads, thats okay.. but I cant figure out how to prevent the system of using the batteries when the ac load is just 20wats... please help. I have no connection to grid. solar only.

    • @TheOffGridShop

      Are you on grid or off grid? ESS is not for off grid? I will check the video and it's not ideal to use.

    can i use grid tie option to load dump to a ac heating element instead of selling to the grid

    • @TheOffGridShop
      @TheOffGridShop  5 месяцев назад

      I would use something like sensibo to trigger a reaction to turn on your aircon at certain battery conditions

    You seem to have grid connected your setup - can this still be done in NSW?

    • @TheOffGridShop
      @TheOffGridShop  Год назад

      Yes depending how you wire it. The Multipluss II 5kva is approved and best to use. Other models can be used and there are complicated.

    Great video, I'm thinking this is a good alternative to a Tesla Powerwall. A Victron Multiplus II with some 48v batteries. Could be cheaper than a Powerwall and more flexible as you can choose your own batteries, given that battery tech is still changing/improving. Maybe you could do a video on the pros and cons of the two setups.

    • @TheOffGridShop
      @TheOffGridShop  Год назад +3

      I would go the Victron any day over a Tesla as you have so much more control.

    I want to tell victron use 12A from grid. And if you need more use battery to boost and give me 18A more. How do i do that?

      12amp AC or DC?

    • @TheOffGridShop
      @TheOffGridShop  5 месяцев назад

      I would use the grid set point. If it's a consistent thing. If you talking Amos and 48 volt. You would have the set point to always pull 500 watts from the grid and if you have an energy metre and the Victron sees any more load coming from the.grid it will supply from batteries. Does that help?

    According to the datasheet for the Victron Peak Power Battery with a capacity of 20Ah, it specifies a continuous output current of 30A from Output 2 and a nominal voltage of 12.8V. However, if the logic board consumes 12.8V at 14.7A, it is unclear if the battery will supply more current than the specified 14.7A to the logic board.! any tip is appreciated

    • @TheOffGridShop
      @TheOffGridShop  Год назад +1

      It all depended which port you pull it out of. The intention of these were for caravan mover motors. Yes only one out put will give you the 30 amps.

    Just to say some of these questions could be answered by completing the proper online training which actually tells you how to install the product properly. I would recommend doing that before you ask questions that clearly show you do not know the relevant safety information to install product.

    • @TheOffGridShop
      @TheOffGridShop  3 месяца назад

      Would appreciate it if you could be more specific?

    • @UKsystems
      @UKsystems 3 месяца назад

      @@TheOffGridShop a lot of technical questions in the comments front since people asking how to connect something all about wire size that type of question it just shows that someone has to really do the training because they have gaps in their knowledge. It isn’t a problem but they need to fill it in properly.

    At time 0:54 you " ... Call yourself *off-grid* ... ". But yet, you talk about being connected to the Grid. Very confusing.

    WTF... you introduce a feature but you don't MENTION IT REQUIRES hardware. This isn't just some software that you turn off and on. Give someone a camera and now they think they know it all. You sir are not too smart.

    • @TheOffGridShop
      @TheOffGridShop  11 месяцев назад +1

    • @UKsystems
      @UKsystems 3 месяца назад

      You’re not that smart either if a feature physically requires hardware it’s going to require hardware and anyone who has the adequate knowledge on the system to safely install it would realise that

      Yes Ess is do Hybrid grid connected customers who want to be off the grid.
