What I'm after is operating the Multi RS Solar as follows:
1) Use batteries first then grid if batteries are flat
2) supplement the inverter output with grid under high load
3) charge batteries with solar when available
4) Charge batteries from grid between certain hours at night
5) NO grid feed in
If the Multi RS Solar won't do this, should I be using the MultiPlus-II instead?
If you open victron connect, choose demo library then select the RS solar you can see all it's capabilities as that is where it is managed from.
It does most of what you want but not schedules as it has a more basic list of ESS features.
For full control you're better off with a multi.
Thanks for the reply. I've tried in the demo section on the victron connect app but the Multi RS Solar isn't listed. Am I missing something?
The ESS mode options on the Multi RS Smart that is listed doesn't explain what they mean really. Do you know what "Optimised Without Battery Life" means? Also, if I use ESS will this be trying to feed sister energy back into the grid?
Sorry for all the questions, if you don't ask, you don't know though :)
