- Victron Multi RS 6kVA Review. A look under the cover and some exciting features. AC MPPT Architutture will open up some new feed in (Net Metering) performance opportunities. Light weight and very quiet operation, quiet relay switching, dual tracking MPPTs with 450 Volt thresholds.
ESS Basic support with new features and firmware. A practical installers review. Released Jan 2024
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.
Thanks for the Feedback (The best part of RUclips is the community) I've got some additional feedback to share since my first install. There are a few hidden features I've discovered via my local Distributor and testing in the workshop and field trials. I'm putting together a follow-up video with a deep dive into the electronics, firmware, new Vicron energy meter and some legacy support. Isthere any specific topic I should include?
@@alanfalck1184Greetings, 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 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 ?
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.
Hi some people have said they dont hear the Audio?I've had several people review this Video that can hear the audio OK .... I've uploaded a new copy of this video. Let me know if this link works pls ruclips.net/video/JRV_S6EKxN8/видео.html thanks
I get no noise when listening from wireless headset. When playing without them i can listen from phone very nice and clear!
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
Hi you can use a standard cat 5 ethernet cable
@@alanfalck1184 Thank you 👌
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
The MPPT is not the same as the regular Victron MPPTs as it is AC (like a microonverter) I'll do a follow up on these features... also be aware there is a min 120v needed
@alanfalck1184 Thank you. I plan to connect 2 strings. In one there will be 3 bifacial 570w with 52 open circuit each. And on the other one 4 X 430w with 48v open circuit each. The inverter will be connected to two 48v 100ah batteries and in the ac in will be connected to a fronius 24gen plus 5kw
Not sure on efficiency but it does need a min of 120v before it works
@@alanfalck1184 The 450/100 MPPT is still on the DC BUS, not AC. it is designed for bigger installs - as you say it needs 120VOC from the panels to get going which is generally 4 or more 250+w house panels on each input. So u need 8 house panels or more. Having tested it with 10 panels (4 on one input 6 on the other input) it seems very efficient.
@@MrButuz Seems the RS Multi can be used as a solar inverter (DC input with an AC generator) just like Fronius. I've also heard (unconfirmed) the MPPT capacity is not limited to the normal 100A (IE PV / Battery Voltage around 5.5kW). I've heard people getting up to 11kW of Solar via the AC bus IE the DC to AC is happening at the MPPT level and not restricted to the Inverter (6kVA) max. I've yet to discover the true underlying architecture of this beast, I guess as this is a highly competitive sector of the market (Sunsync Deye) Victron are holding their cards closer to their chests? Guess we just are awaiting the new firmware to become available for better features like ESS Grid approval ETC ?
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?
Hi Can't you do the adjustment via the Bluetooth Vctron Connect App ?
@@alanfalck1184 No. This setting is not in Victron Connect. I have ordered a Cerbo-S to see if I can get to the setting.
Hi sorry missed this post ... you can adjust remotely using Victron Connect and VRM to manage the "device"
Will you be able to make a video on how to do that please?
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
Hi, I've had no RCD issues (on the output side)

Thanks for sharing FYI I connect HWC (Hot Water Cylenders) or Geysers as we say doen south to the AC2 outbut and these non critical loads are then services by surplus solar (and battery) when available instead of the rather expensive Victron 3 phase energy meter.
Sorry Alan can't hear a word
Ahhh thanks will reload
@@alanfalck1184 no worries
