Just updated to 3.50 this morning and enjoying the new guiv2.
In my installation I have AC connected PV on the output of the multiplus. The overview in the VRM portal is also showing that, so the settings appear to be correct. However in the overview of the guiv2, it looks like it is connected to the input? Should it be like that?
Also I noticed that clicking on the Solar Yield in the overview, gives me more details about the PV power, voltage, amps etc. However the voltage and amps show up as ‘-’, while looking in de devices, it does show voltage and amps.
Last remark is the brief overview. I have two solar devices, both on L1 only. Also my installation is single phase. The solar is the only entity in the brief overview showing three bars, not sure if these represent phases? How can I change it to show only one?
My Fronius PV inverter is also connected to AC-Out. From my understanding I think this is by design in gui v2. From what I’ve seen, power generation/sources are located on the left hand side and loads are on the right hand side and there’s no distinction to where the PV inverter is connected.
I’ve also noticed this. I wish you could see more data relating to the PV Inverter on the overview page such as Line voltage, amps etc. like you can see in VRM.

This is expected behaviour and an intentional change. Though we understand and expect it might take some getting used too if you are very familiar with the ‘classic’ model.
I absolutely love the new UI, the continued improvements to the entire victron ecosystem is just the icing on the cake to the products.
Can I recommend one change, if the units are set to AMPS, the AC output is shown in AMPS as set.
However as this value is obviously different to the DC side it can cause confusion to some users. Can it also show the wattage at the same time.
Also on the solar input side can we have the UI showing the total DC output current to the DC bus in Amps.
This could be done with a simple calculation in the system if the value is not already available somewhere else in the code.
For instance in my example above there is an AC coupled PV inverter, so it has no DC output value, but it can be calculated obviously.
Total solar yield/battery voltage
Same with the AC load
Ac output current*AC voltage
I will repeat what I said on YT already.
I like the improvements and layout, but I really want the option to get color back. I love the black background, but its too “mono-chrome” for me.
(I know I butched this with the colors. Was too lazy to color the inside of the text. But even so … I hope you get my point. Some light colors with transparency to the background would be appreaciated)
