Help,
I thought buying Victron kit would offer the best peace of mind because of quality and experience of the company. I am not wrong,
Only disappointment is in myself for not being able to see what I am missing. Great kit and lots of info but I cant seem to get all the dots to join up, its too clever for me.
I keep on thinking got it now but no. I just want to use it as an ess system augmenting what I already have. I have solar and bats but was looking to increase my bat storage and charge during off peak which limits the bat size due to charging power/ times.
I thought it must be straight forward but I realise now the ess is an addon as an assistant so has to follow much of the structure the multi has to offer in terms of control.
Im getting lost in the detail so can any one help this newbie, thanks in advance.
I have multi 2 with cerbogx has no AC loads, 48v lifepo4 bats with a BMS and a 500A shunt.
The multi is connected to grid in a parallel fashion, it has the external current sensor the CT coil which is wrapped around themain tail feeding the consumer unit.
My thinking is the current sensor is seen as the external current sensor once pluged in, the ess assistant would inform the multi what mode it is in, how can you get much simpler, BUT what I am doing wrong.
All firmware updated. The dash board looks like how I envisaged it, 3 boxes, ac1 in as grid, the bats and the multi but just sitting in passthru mode.
