Victron ESS: Legacy Compatibility Is Starting To Hold Back Innovation Please take this as constructive feedback from a long-time Victron user running a large AC-coupled ESS system. I fully understand why Victron maintains compatibility with 10–15 year old systems, VE.Bus architecture, older MultiP…

Just my 2 Pence a lot of those manufacturers do not care about backwards compatibility which was one of the things I like about Victron. I know Sigenergy has said they would make batteries backward compatible. I for one as a user/consumer am not interested in the constant change of products, I just…

All RS models are HF and there is a 19" version coming. The HS19 has been announced waaay too early but as far as I know it’s now on the finish line for real. Most R&D has been focused on the HS19 over the last months to finally get it to release. After that R&D resources are free for other proje…

Exactly this I have been saying since two years now… Each time InterSolar shown almost the same… First year RS19, second year RS19 and HS19, and so on… Distributors are shrugging all the way, all the time when I am standing in front of them wanting to buy the RS19… As per topology, you can say th…

If I remember correctly the the HS19 has been shown (not for public) long before the first RS models (was it before Corona? 2019 2018?). The RS19 was shown 1 or 2 years ago for the first time. If you are working with Victron for a few years you should know that you don’t should rely on announced r…

[image] Matthias Lange - DE: If you are working with Victron for a few years you should know that you don’t should rely on announced release dates until you actually can order it. That pretty much says it all for some…

Very interesting conversation - as a software engineer I just love the open concept and node-red integration. There are tons of regulations over here in GER that probably forbid super fast responses. Anyway, I am happy with my system and its countless integrations and data access to/from influxDB, ……

And yet here in North America we’d still like to have a Quattro-II or ESS. Or a split-phase inverter. I would love to have the HS19 for commercial projects and the RS19 for mobile or smaller scale off-grid in this decade. But I won’t hold my breath. Unfortunately, here in the USA, Victron is a poor …

I think that some of the issues are not ‘victron’ only. My personal experience where I had existing Enphase and added VE later is similar. But we have to take into account that with two different devices and different manufacturers the systems are also reacting to each other, with the measurement & …

Concerning ESS & being to slow due to communication delay or physical delays NOT true! I made a PID regulator in node red as test. What happens is that the current ESS regulator isn’t programmed to be predictive. When grid demand rises the compensation moment is to late aswell in the rising as as do…
