Hi there,
My installation works as expected since october 1st, without noticeable issue (Multiplus 5kVA + 2*100/35 regulator + 2790 Wc solar panels + 4,8kWh lithium batterie + Cerbo Gx). BUT, it only works when no VE.Can terminator plugged in (!) Everything else correctly wired. Long-term issues ?
What components do you have exactly?
Victron don't have a MPPT 100/35 and the 150/35 don't have VE.Can.
What is not working with the terminator plugged in?
Where do you plug the terminator?
Sorry. You're right: I have 2*150/35 MPPTs connected via VE.direct. First time I made the installation, Multiplus switches off (immediately), with everything correctly wired (as described in the user's manual, ie the terminator at the right terminal). Once I pulled off the terminator, everything "seems" to get working (I get power on OUTPUT, PVs are powering correctly the system and charging the batteries as expected; everything are allright in Ve.configure, Victron.Connect and VRM Portal). Last two months, I got about 500kWh (prod ca. 600kWh, consumption ca. 500kWh). As it begins to work, I do not go further (on trying to fix)
Edit. : I got the battery pack connected to one BMS-Can port, Multiplus to one Ve.Bus port, 2 MPPTs to 2 Ve.Direct port, router to LAN port. Other ports of the Cerbo are empty.
normally there are two terminators, one at the start and one at the end, this gives a balanced Can Bus , NOW somtimes terminators can be inbuilt into units, so check for that. otherwise if you only have one then something else is wrong
