LS,
I’m new here and looking to set up a Victron system at our home here in the Netherlands. At this point we have 6x400Wp PV panels with an Omnik 2K Invertor, producing about 1600kW anually with more than 50% return to grid, while total power consumption is about 4.250kWh. At this point I have set up a simple battery system with two 25.6V 100Ah LiFePo in parallel, 3 chargers (5A/10A/20A) and 2 600W Ecoflow Powerstreams which can all be controlled via HA. With the setup it is possible to get near 0 consumption during the evening/night/morning and some reduction while using Washer/DIshwasher/Oven. However the system needs a lot of attention and has a very low WAF…
At this point I’m looking for a better stand-alone system that can be monitored/adjusted via HA, bur can operate without constant attention, has the option to go partially off-grid in case of emergency/powerloss and gets a higher WAF factor. I’ve been reading a lot and at this point i’m thinking about a Victron system. So far this is what I have in mind using my two 25.6V 100Ah LiFePo but in series in combination with:
A Victron Multiplus II 48/3000 + Cerbo GX + SmartShunt
I was wondering if this is a good choice, how I can let the system know what power is actually going to/from the grid, what else I do need to get it up and runnign and if people here on the forum have a similar set-up or are working on one…
Thanks for any reply
Paul
