I am needing to get a new shore power charger as I will be adding a DC powered AC that I want to run 24x7 when plugged in to AC. (While at anchor it will only run for a few hours in the evening). I want to set-up the Victron system such that the solar panels (eventually close to 3KW) provide all of the power they can and the shore charger only provides the extra as needed (cloudy days and at night).
Ideally I want to use the IP43 50A chargers (1 to start, but possibly two), but I’m not sure if I can prioritize solar with them.. If not I guess it would be a Multiplus II.
Right now I have lead acid batteries, but will be converting to lithium around the same time as the charger is installed. Given the narrow voltage range for lithium I don’t think I could simply program the IP43 charger with lower voltage settings…. So I think the Cerbo will need to be involved .. possibly with Node Red, not sure.
