I have been thinking of buying the Multiplus 2, been doing a bit of research and as far as I'm aware from the documentation there is anti islanding built into the device, if using

the Victron website here says :-

"It also has all the features of the MultiGrid with built-in anti-islanding and an increasingly long list of country approvals"
