in the Multiplus II datasheet I read that for Multiplus II 48/3000/35-32 the Cont. output power at 25°C is 2400 W. Where is the 25°C measured? Inside the Multiplus, or ambient temperature at the fan input?

Ambient. See note 4 on the tech data. FYI this is a standard for electronics rating. White paper here

"the liquid is stored at below ambient temperature
@Alexandra Thank you, I checked the paper and I understand that this is really an ambient temperature. What I can't figure out is that once tha battery reaches a 100 SoC and the Multipluses start producing alternate curent for the overflow to the grid (almost no consumption in the house), the multipluses do not produce a steady output but start interrupting. See the graph. (I have 3 of them, 3000 VA, cerbo, 10 kWh pylontech batery, Energy Meter ET340)
Interrupted power flow after reaching the 100 SoC:
Thr flow to the grid is very unsteady, plus the Blue Multiplus works hard while the others much less. The work is not distributed evenly.
If you have a way to check their accuracy and perform a calibration you can use the temperature sensors that came with the MP on the cerbo to see all the temperatures at the top of the units.
I would compare grid voltages as well, you can also get derating for that reason and for battery voltage reasons.
What is the spacing like around the units? Is there good air flow?
Hi @JPika
The uneven production for feeding to grid, I believe, is not related with temperature.
Considering the way the grid injection is performed and the math behind it, the uneven aspect has to do with grid voltage and loads connected to that grid section.
And you can't control those two, but the inverter has to abide by some rules in order to properly function.
