ESS with Grid PV feed in Split phase

Hello All,


First time here on the forum. I am currently setting up my first Victron system and would require some direction on setting it up. I will list the equipment below first

  1. Victron multiplus ii 48V 230V 5000W
  2. Victron charge controller
  3. 4x pylontech 2.4kwh
  4. SMA 5000W grid tied
  5. Carlo Gavazzi three phase grid meter

The aim of the setup is to use ESS feature of victron.

The SMA inverter will feedback power to the grid.

Charge controller will also feed back excess power to grid when batteries are fully charged.

Battery should only charge from excess PV power and not charge by import from the grid. very important

AC out 1 is connected to a critical load panel


All hardware is currently installed but would appreciate any feedback or direction in acheiving the objectives outlined above.

Hi @sunpower

What information do you need that's not in the ESS manuals?
