    That’s a very nice solar system. I really like the Victron interface seems to work very well. I also have an off grid solar system. I’m running a 24 V inverter with only 34 kWh of battery.

    You are really professional, thank you for sharing 🙏 I have just one question why you use 24v system ?
    Is there any benefit to this instead of the 48 volt system?

      copy and paste from my other post
      "I started this project with a Victron Multiplus ii 24/5000 inverter and then got another 24/5000 connected in parallel shortly after, I never had any issue with it so decided to stick with 24V, but if I have to start all over again I would go with 48V to save money on cabling and buying fewer BMS."

      Thank you dear
      I use 48v Chinese hybrid inverter to power my home with no issues
      I also have 2 inverter Victron Quattro 24/5000 and two solar charger 150/100 & 100/50
      Cebro gx
      Smartshunt
      Lynx Distributor.
      Didn’t install yet
      What do you advise me to do? Should I stick to the Chinese inverter with a 48 volt system or should I switch to a victron system with 24 volts?

      @@saifsky It is up to you if you want to switch over, if it was me with all those Victron gears in hand I would swap over because they are more efficient and I like to monitor the whole system with the Victron app and VRM portal. There is nothing wrong with a 24v system as long as you use the correct fuse and cables.

    Very nice installation. Clean and professional looking, what is the purpose of having two cerbo gx's and how did you get that beautiful display of your Victron system on your tablet? Thank you in advance.

      I'm running 2 separate system, 1 cerbo for Lifepo4 battery and the other cerbo is for AGM battery setup. Using a Waveshare touch screen monitor for display, it's connected to the cerbo gx via hdmi+usb cable.

    Hmmm, learned next to nothing here. It would have been nice to get some info about configuring this unit with the batteries for example. The booklet that came with the 150/100 unit is not easily understood at all and needs a magnifying glass to read it. I've been going nuts trying to find out more about this unit, all that's on it are three lamps and one miniscule rotary switch that also needs a magnifying glass to decipher it. The unit is putting the batteries ( two 200 amp hour Li-ion in parallel) into float charge below 13 volts.

    • @manwithfewwords3954

      Use the Victron Connect app on your phone to do the configuration,
      just choose one of the presets for your battery chemistry and start from there. You don't need to use the rotary dial.

      It's funny how most people take it for grated that everyone has a phone device. I have a land-line and that's because there is no service where we live. Mobile phones don't work here and therefore I don't have one. I do however have an Apple MacBook Air laptop that accesses the internet via the land-line , it all gets very confusing.....Thank you for your reply and greetings from Australia.@@manwithfewwords3954
