question

Hi Paul. It should be fine if your old kit worked ok. Not to say you won't see 'teething trouble'. The Multiplus onboard is quite sensitive to 'dirty' power and may reject it. Not an uncommon issue, but is fixable by relaxing the constraints - https://www.victronenergy.com/live/multiplus_faq

You may also find it possible to overload the genny. With 70A (@48V+) of charge current available (& possible) to your batts, you could see up to ~4000W demand at times. Add a decent ac load and the genny itself may baulk. That's fixable too in the CCGX (Multiplus section), where you can set an ac input limit to where your genny is 'comfortable/efficient'.

I'm not sure how your salesman friend made mistakes, but the Easy is virtually plug'n'play. Fine tuning/networking it may exercise some brain cells though, and I encourage you to learn more about doing that yourself.

Have a go with the existing genny. You're not alone, I'm offgrid too, and use the same blue box.

And if you haven't VRM portal access yet, work on that too.. icing on the cake..

Hi All

Please can u tell me that with the Easysolar 5kva if it is possible to use the PV solar power 1st during the day then the stored battery power ( 11kwh battery ) at night and when the load is to high get the rest from the grid?

Will the easysolar work like this?

Thank u

Thanks heaps John...i will post back as things develop.
