Hi,
I'd like to get a MultiPlus II and use it with PV and SmartSolar, can i setup the MultiPlus to throw out any excess energy made by the PV since i don't want to feedback to the grid but just consume from the grid when i don't have solar energy or battery.

Yes this is 100% possible as long as have a CCGX or Venus GX running the ESS assistants.
In fact this functionality was specifically coded by Victron many years ago for users like me in South Africa where we are unable to feed into the grid.
Hi @donnib
Your kit will do that outta-the-box. The Multi doesn't dump the energy, the mppt stops harvesting it. And it can't feedback to the grid unless you have the kit to tell it to do so.
If you can live with a simple on-off switch on your grid input, then just turn it on as you need.
What do you mean by ?

When your batts are down, and no solar, just switch on the grid to handle loads and charge batts.
Perhaps you're talking a different type of system, like a UPS battery? You do know you'll need a batt with the kit you describe?
