😂 𝗣𝗔𝗨𝗟’𝗦 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗣 - 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗩𝗢𝗥𝗦!

𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹: “Welcome everyone. Today we’re discussing people changing settings they don’t understand…” 😩
𝗕𝗼𝗹𝘁: “Someone changed my inverter settings because they thought I’d work better!” 😳
𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆: “Someone adjusted my charging voltages because they saw a bloke on YouTube do it!” ☀️🤦‍♂️
𝗪𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗲: “Apparently my battery settings were just a suggestion…” 🔋😬
𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗶: “Someone switched off DVCC. Nobody told me. Now everyone’s blaming me!” 📱😭
𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆: “And apparently changing a setting is easier than checking what the readings actually mean!” 📊🙄
𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹: “Right… who’s got the biscuits? This could take a while.” ☕🍪😂

🔧 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗛𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗜𝗧!

Victron systems are incredibly flexible, but that doesn't mean every setting needs changing!

⚡ Inverter settings affect how your system operates and responds to AC supplies.
🔋 Charging voltages and currents must suit your battery chemistry, BMS requirements and system design.
🧠 DVCC and ESS settings influence how connected equipment coordinates charging, discharging and energy management.
📱 Firmware updates and configuration changes should be approached carefully, with compatibility and existing settings considered.
One innocent little adjustment can create a whole chain of unexpected problems! 😬

💡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗬?

If your system is working correctly, don't start changing things just because you've found a new menu!

And if you're unsure, ask us before changing anything. We'd much rather help you get it right than spend hours working out what someone has changed! 😂

We spend plenty of time at Energy Monkey talking about what Victron products do, but today we're asking a slightly different question…

If Victron products were people, what would their personalities be like? 👀🤣

💪 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒊𝑷𝒍𝒖𝒔 - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓
The one who gets EVERYTHING done! Reliable, hardworking and always there when you need them. Probably doing three jobs at once!

👀 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒆𝒓𝒃𝒐 𝑮𝑿 - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒐𝒔𝒚 𝑶𝒏𝒆
Needs to know absolutely EVERYTHING that's going on. Always checking up on everyone. Nothing gets past this one! 😂

☀️ 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝑴𝑷𝑷𝑻 - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓
Full of energy when the sun's shining, but not quite so enthusiastic about those dark winter days! 🌧️

🚐 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑶𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑿𝑺 - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒅𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒓
Never stays in one place for long. Loves a road trip and is probably already planning the next getaway!

Now for the important question…

😂 𝑾𝑯𝑰𝑪𝑯 𝑽𝑰𝑪𝑻𝑹𝑶𝑵 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑫𝑼𝑪𝑻 𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝒀𝑶𝑼?

Are you the hardworking MultiPlus, the nosy Cerbo, the sunshine-loving MPPT or the adventurous Orion XS?

👇 Tell us in the comments!

And don't forget to tag someone who is 100% a Cerbo GX… you know who they are! 👀🤣

We're excited to share another incredible off-grid project, this time at a stunning mansion in Hereford! 😍

This isn't your average home installation. We're talking about a large, fully off-grid property, complete with smart home technology and a seriously impressive renewable energy system.

💙 𝗪𝗛𝗬 do people build a complete Victron system?

One of the biggest advantages of Victron isn’t just the individual products - it’s how they can work together as one system ⚡

Your inverter/charger, solar controllers, DC-DC chargers, battery monitoring and GX equipment can all form part of a properly designed setup

Add a Cerbo GX into the mix and you can bring much of that information together, with remote monitoring through VRM where supported

Whether it’s a campervan 🚐, boat ⛵, off-grid property 🏡 or a much larger commercial system 🏭, the principle is the same.

☀️ BIG SOLAR. SMARTER CHARGING.

This week we're putting TWO Victron powerhouses in the spotlight!

💙 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗠𝗣𝗣𝗧 𝗥𝗦 𝟰𝟱𝟬/𝟭𝟬𝟬 & 𝟰𝟱𝟬/𝟮𝟬𝟬 💙

❄️ As winter approaches and daylight hours get shorter, designing an efficient solar system becomes more important than ever.

Whether you're building an off-grid home, upgrading an existing installation or designing a larger battery storage system, the SmartSolar MPPT RS range delivers serious solar charging capability!

🔋 𝗦𝗢, 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧'𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗜𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘?

🔹 𝗠𝗣𝗣𝗧 𝗥𝗦 𝟰𝟱𝟬/𝟭𝟬𝟬

⚡ 100A maximum charging current

🔹 𝗠𝗣𝗣𝗧 𝗥𝗦 𝟰𝟱𝟬/𝟮𝟬𝟬

⚡ 200A maximum charging current
☀️ Up to 11.52kW charging power
🎯 4 independent MPPT trackers

💙 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗢𝗡?

✅ 450V maximum PV input voltage
✅ Designed for 48V battery systems
✅ High-voltage solar string capability
✅ Seamless integration with the Victron ecosystem
✅ GX device and VRM monitoring integration
✅ Flexible solar array design

🏡 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥?

With fewer daylight hours and changing weather conditions, getting your solar array design right is essential.

Multiple independent MPPT trackers offer greater flexibility when working with different panel orientations, while high-voltage PV inputs allow efficient string configurations.

💡 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗬 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗛 𝗧𝗜𝗣 - Cold temperatures increase solar panel open-circuit voltage! Always account for the lowest expected temperature when calculating your solar string voltage.
