Hi
I am looking at the following setup:
1 x Victron MultiPlus-II unit
4 x 12V 120Ah Omnipower Deep-cycle AGM Batteries (48V)
1 x SmartSolar MPPT 250/100 Solar regulator
2 - 4 x 325W Solar Panels
The Victron Multiplus-II will be installed inline before the distribution board. Output will be split to critical and non-critical feeds.
First Question: Does the SmartSolar MPPT unit connect to the Multiplus-II directly? Or directly to the batteries?
Second Question: Does the Multiplus-II first use the energy from the solar panels before substituting energy from the grid? I understand when the grid source is disconnected it will make use of it. I plan to use solar and then have grid substitute the excess power needs.
Third Question: What is the noise level of the Multiplus-II? It would need to be placed outside, under roof, just outside the bedrooms of my house.
Kind Regards
Davin
