Please can someone from Victron update us on plans to get G100/2 compliance.
TIA
Hi Jack, historically we haven’t seen much comment on certification plans on the community.
You may be better off contacting your area sales manager - contact details on the main site.
The community is rarely the source of plans or roadmaps.
Brilliant, Cheers Nick. I have reached out to the UK sales guys so will report back.
As expected have heard nothing back from either of the Victron UK Sales Managers. Might be of benefit for Victron if they actually communicate and build a relationship with Installers.
Hi @JackAspeyEnergy,
Regional certification is a bit of an ever green topic and source of frustration on all sides.
There is often imperfect information, and not a clear answer.
I’ll reach out to the UK team myself as well to see if there is anything to report, but it’s also possible there isn’t a clear statement of the situation yet.
The decision has been made not to gain G100/2 compliance. The decision was made based on our historic sales numbers prior to G100/2, the engineering time required and the commercial reward.
We do of course have G98 & G99. If feeding in to the Grid is required then the most popular option is to use the 5KVa models, configfure to Grid code G98 restricting the feed in and load out to 3.68Kw.

Hi Nigel, appreciate the clarification although not what we and most UK folks would want to hear.
We believe one off the biggest selling points for Victron is the ability for full house back up. However 5kW of inverter power simply isn’t enough in 95% of instance’s.
12/10/8 kW of Inverter power with G100/2 export limitation is what is needed.
Customers being able to export “sell” back to the grid reduces the payback on systems significantly.
Even on bigger grid tied ESS we will now only be able to install as much as the export allows. Thus reducing the number of units installed and sold.
This decision makes Victron a very difficult sell in the UK grid tied market.
Is G100/2 really that much more work than G100/1 ?
Hi Guy, Appreciate the reply. Please see my reply to Vincent below. Hoping we can get Victron to change there stance on this
