Good mornig. My system consists of
Is ist possible to set up a ESS-system with non-Victron-MPPTs?
If yes - what about the settings?
If no - is another setup possible (f.i. with "virtual switch")?
Thanks a lot! Michael
Hi @drmi
Yes this is possible, but you won't see solar production on the Color Control, and in VRM.
What you do is set the solar regulators to a higher voltage than the Multi, and select 'feed-in excess solar power' in the ESS settings.
As soon as the charge voltage set in the Multi is reached, the system will start feed-in to the grid.
For example, many MPPT options, such as Midnite solar, offer CAN BUS.
Alternatively: A shunt could be installed on the output of the MPPT to track production. Is there any way to feed this data into Venus GX / VRM?
Thank you for your replay.
May I ask further?
Are the following values correct:
Tristar TS60-MPPT: 14,4 V Absorption, 13,5 V Float Voltage
Multiplus: 14,1 V Absorption, 13,2 V Float
Best regards Michael
