Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on how to configure the Victron MultiPlus 2 inverter. Specifically, I want to prioritize electricity consumption from the battery and solar panels. However, if the maximum power output of the inverter is reached, I’d like it to supplement the missing energy from the grid.
Has anyone successfully set up this kind of configuration? If so, could you share the steps or settings required to achieve this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Without ESS, only way, use ignore AC input and VS function. And it cant supplement missing power from grid, it drop full load to grid until power is below inverter limit. I use this setup for long time, no problem.
I have ESS installed, and for me, it is a priority that the inverter can supplement power from the grid when it reaches its maximum limit, rather than shifting the full load to the grid. This functionality is essential for my setup. Is there a way to achieve this with ESS enabled?
I found it! Just set the maximum inverter power on ESS and the grid input to 0 watts. When the inverter reaches its maximum power, it will start drawing from the grid to compensate.
Do you have an energy meter to measure the grid? This happen natively with ESS installed. It uses the battery and solar until low battery voltage shutoff or min SOC unless the grid fails.
