Multi RS Solar 48/6000 Grid ESS or AC IN coupling

This is more for Victron staff I guess :)


Are there any updates in regards to Multi RS being certified for grid use?

Or is there anyway to program it to charge from AC coupled Fronius, but on AC IN?


Thanks!

Hi @iRomeo,

No updates except progress continues.

At this stage there is no way to use a Fronius on the AC input, but support for that is also coming.

Multi RS support for the new Victron Energy meter is integral to both and imminent.

Thanks Guy!


Imminent as in weeks/few month or past spring? :D

Asking as I like the RS a lot and it would be a shame to sell it for a multi or something else.

As far as I know, it is the priority of that team, and they have a working private beta.


No one outside of Victron R&D has the Victron Energy Meter yet so the scope for testing is limited until that becomes available, and will probably go hand in hand.

Edit; I've just checked my Energy Meter order and it says 4 weeks, week 51.

Then I will be able to test the new beta firmware myself and have a much better idea how close to ready it is.

@Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager) could you clarify. Is the new Victron energy meter going to be the only one compatible with the multi RS? And if so, what about single phase etc...

I don’t have any clarity on the timing of other energy meter compatibility, perhaps it all happens at the same time but I don’t know. All info I have heard is around the Victron meter.


The new Victron energy meter is single phase compatible. I’ll be installing mine in single phase when it arrives.

Ok. I'd be happy to go with one but I think they are limited to 65A per phase? Wouldn't that be an issue on a standard single phase supply (or at least in the UK). My supply at home has an 80A fuse and I need that replacing with a 100A because of the EV really. I appreciate it's unlikely ever to exceed 65A with diversity but id rather use the correct size. The new Victron one is ve.can as well so I see why that is good for the RS and not sure how an RS485 energy meter could interface? Sorry, more questions.
