Can a GX access information if 2 Multiplus are on the same bus, but driving two separate AC loads

I have situation where the client wants 2 Multiplus II inverters from the same solar and battery yet want to feed the AC to separate locations. Reason if one inverter overload other should continue supplying power.

If one GX can't control then you need 2 energy meters, 2 GX, 2 BMV. Basically 2 separate systems.

Are there another solution. Want to use 1 batterybank, 1 PV array and still know my SoC.

Sort of.

You can't connect 2 MultiPlus on the same VE.Bus unless they are programmed in parallel or multi-phase.

You CAN connect one of the MultiPlus to the USB port via an MK3-USB adaptor.

So you will have a 'primary' Multi that is connected to the VE.Bus port - this one will be displayed on the dashboard, etc.

So I will then lose all info on that Multiplus, eg energy usage from battery and grid.


Using 1 SmartShunt then at least give me the SoC of the battery?
