Hi guys, my setup includes easysolar 48/3000va, with bmv700 and rpi 3B+ with Venus os....kindly help me set it up.....my requirements
1. Absolutely No feed to the grid
2. During the day, solar is used to run the loads after the battery are fully charged...using solar
3. Grid to be used only at night or when solar isn’t available or sufficient
Thanks for your responses
Sounds like a "simple" ESS configuration.

Thanks for prompt reply....does the ESS feed back some power in its normal operation?
It can but you can tweak a few other settings to prevent it. In the manual M.Lange linked check out 4.3.12 Grid set point to prevent this, and in Mode under ESS menu on GX set to always keep battery charged, section 4.3.
Hi guys, my easysolar has this in the controller chip....2620158..
Which firmware should I upgrade to for ESS?
If you have the adapter and Victron Connect and internet, the program will download and update your unit to the latest firmware. Then ESS will need to be programmed in using VE Config or can be done over the VRM if you are online there. But this should really be done by someone who has some training or at least is familiar with the products and programs.
