You can also order it on a place like AliExpress if you don't mind the 3 weeks waiting time for delivery. It costs like 6k to 10k depending on the size of shunt you want with it.

I ordered for exactly the same type but the seller packed it poorly and by the time it arrived, the screen was already broken and it is unusable. Only the shunt may be useful at a later date.

Thanks boss

Now this.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to decide which one would be better for my Multiplus, a VE.bus bluetooth dongle or a MK3 USB cable
I'm thinking of integrating the multiplus into Home Assistant and I'm also penny pinching.

It seems configuration ability is limited with the bluetooth dongle but the disadvantage of the cable is that it has to be connected to change settings and also get data, not sure which would be a better option.

If there's anyone that has a spare MK3 cable I wouldn't mind.

@NiyiOmoIyunade actually gave an extensive report that seemed to ahve helped me.
I did interact with the engineer attacked the supplier of my inverter and the I was visited by Multipower Engineer.
Both of them agreed with the post of NiyiOmoIyunade here and the conclusion was that I should ignore the 3 bars and should not be scared of the low the voltage I see since the battery carries the the expected load for the duration expected.
I've been enjoying my set up since then and my oga @Durodee self knows say him don de rest from my panic calls and messages since I got all these explanations.
However, the Multipower office still reminded me my batteries are under warrantee and they are ready to collect and replace them within that 1 and half year period if they perform suboptimally.

Any China shipper in the house that can help with this should contact me. Thanks.

I understand you are trying to cut cost and all but have you tried saving up for the GX devices, a VENUS with no display will go a long way especially forbyour home automation, the options you mentioned earlier will only give a temporary solution

I believe it should be much cheaper that LiFePO4. And with the emphasis on safety at par with LFP, then it may be a good thing for people to consider it.

Thanks but the GX is an overkill for me and at 3X the cost of the MK3 (or VE Bus dongle) it's difficult for me to justify. If I hammer I could go for it but in these days of racing dollar prices I'm not in a hurry.

You might consider a Raspberry Pi and install the Victron Venus OS on it. That should give you all the functionality at a fraction of the cost.

With a Pi you also get ease of integration with your home automation.

Be ready to get hands on to get all to work seamlessly.

As an option, the Cerbo GX has multiple connectivity options out of the box, serves just as well as the Venus GX and is powered by a higher capability CPU. There's also the Octo GX

And here's the DIY option. Cheapest and most fun. Hardest to implement but way more flexible. Be the lord of your own setup. You would still need Victron USB cables (the DIY cables are often unreliable).

Kjlionz:


Yeah, it's a modified sine wave inverter, and I haven't even used it for up to 30mins since I bought it few days ago�
So isn't there a way out?�

Pix please. I noticed some suoer msw are more like square waves, while others are more stepped to closely resemble a PSW.

Older suoer models mare not be so friendly with non resistive loads.

Btw, i got a MSW inverter with batter voltage, load, act output voltage display. So far it's being awesome.... And as usual, the efficiency is sweet.

olopan:
Incorporate a change over & use only when there is black out, using while charging to me is not advisable as they get very hot when charging and ensure to leave it on for Ultima temperatures for the components.

Very correct... If the electrical load is less is not much, a 3gand relay can be wired with a 12v adapter to mimick an ATS. Thats what i do. And it worked well till my itchy fingers drove me to burn the the adapter... So I just manually flick the pin to nepa or inverter, pending when i replace the adapter.

Greetings to everyone.
This is my first Post on this thread. Please kindly pardon me if I ask a question that has already been attended to.
Is it possible for me to install this solar system by myself since I am a professional electrical installer?
And how much is the cost of the the complete set with maximum output of 1.8Kva?.

bros,
you may want to revisit your advert (especially the flyers). i see lithium-ion and lifepo4 lumped together
referring to same product.

Okay thanks for the clarification, pls which of the product price Sir

passion8,
welcome on board and glad you finally made the decision to take the plunge into renewables.
i assure you, its a life changing step you're about to take for which you will be forever grateful.
yes, absolutely. you can install your solar system by yourself and this is what the thread is all
about. almost everyone here is a do-it-yourself solar enthusiast apart from a few marketers just
here to make a few bucks who don't contribute anything to trending topics.
as for the cost of a complete setup, that would depend on what load you want to power. you
can forget about the estimated 1.8kva output and just list what loads you want to run based on
their wattage and other good members in the house will weigh in and offer suggestions how
you can go about it.

the growatt advert. it has lithium-ion and underneath its also saying lifepo4. the two
battery chemistries are slightly different. both cannot be in the same battery.

I did mine myself (first time playing with electricity).

Okay sorry for that Sir. Guess thats system error from my affiliate company website which i used showing prospects can get them through me at rebate prices .. Product datasheet is always available on request as usual !
Nevertheless, I'll notify company to edit ! See snapshot below

AliExpress ruled against me. It was a painful experience. I provided pictures and all, but I guess what they needed was a video of me opening the package. How was I to know that the item inside was already broken and therefore make a video of me opening it in order to prove it arrived broken?

I just took it as my loss.

It is possible. Did most of mine myself. Got a very good electrician to help with the heavy lifting and physically tasking parts like climbing roofs

In the business of inverter, you get what you pay for. Just checked out my Suoer modified Sinewave Inverter and a random transformerless pure Sinewave inverter. The portable oscilloscope just showed me what I already know. Lol

1. Has anyone here ever used 150w all in one solar street light with 4G camera?

2. Does it come with it own panel?

3. Can it brightness be sustained from 7pm to 6am?

4. How does it perform on raining season?

5. How good is the inbuilt Camera?
