I think, that there is a further bug: AC Loads does not show correctly. The Venus OS does not add the PV Inverter production to the loads. If PV is 500W and the inverter is adding further 50W, it should show 550W on the AC Loads...but it only shows 50W. Thank you for this Video and thanks you all Developers of those integrations!

Yes, if the AC-In is set to Generator, it won't be added. I've set the option to Grid now and it works. Martin thinks, the script may only work with ESS and grid connected systems. He hasn't got to time to further look into it, so I'm looking for another solution...😐

Hey Andy. These micro inverter series was really intresting, how to set up the victrons and so forth. Im thinking these would come in handy for spare panels and for example for vertical fits on the walls of the garage or something like that. Thanks for videos, cheers.

Very nice, congrats. I understand the reason for the shelly but to know the production of the micro inverter you should use Solarman integration it will give much more information that the one you get from shelly. Since you are using Hassio you can install one more shelly in the pump and only have it running when the microinverter can fully power it.

Hi! It is ok but much easy and natural with ET112! Keep going!

Andy, 1. You can use the "Victron GX modbusTCP" to get all VRM data to the Home Assistant, control Multiplus, dynamically control EV charging, based on available PV production / battery SoC, etc. 2. Multiplus losses are 30%, when charging from AC and then inverting from the battery. Huge loss of the tilting benefits 😞 (3). Shelly 1pm is not robust for such wattage. Shelly EM, with the 2x A clamps is much better with no inline connections to the inverter/consumption.

@OffGridGarageAustralia

9 ай бұрын

Thanks you. I think I have used that as an HACS integration already. It works well. The power of the tilt system will mainly go directly into the pool pump, the house pressure pump and the SPAT fridge. Some small excess will go back to the garage. I have seen a video where someone calculated all the losses of the MP and charging efficiency was actually surprisingly good with around 80-85% The Shelly runs a treat since installation, no problems so far. It's only 7A which is going through it, less than half of what it is rated for.

@dimitrisp3214

9 ай бұрын

@@OffGridGarageAustralia Trivial losses for direct use and 4x MPPTs, good job. You can add the "vebus acin1toinverter" and "vebus invertertoacout" entities at the Energy Dashboard and check the MP losses when using AC charging + inverter. For DC charging + inverter the 80-85% seems correct. 7A for 1pm is ok for just measuring energy. Using the internal relay for 7A loads on-off can be too high, depending on loads. Actually its not measuring energy, like grid meters / inverters, just gets a power measurement every second, so some % inaccuracy, depending on variations, not so important.

I'm running a Plus1PM in a similiar configuration for testing purposes and just recently found the reporting into the vrm not working anymore after turning the Shelly off and on again.

Well, you don't need the Multiplus to show the Shelly in VRM. It also works in my SPAT Calibration Centre for testing purposes. But yes, there is a thread on the Victron Community forum where people have modified the script so it shows a load instead of a PV Inverter. Search for the word 'load': community.victronenergy.com/questions/127339/shelly-1pm-as-pv-inverter-in-venusos.html

I needed to change the position of the integration. It is in the file dbus-shelly-1pm-pvinverter.py in line 52. A zero means it is on the AC Input side and position 1 is for connected to output 1 of the multi. I think this will fix the problem with the AC Input Box.

hi Andy, have you solved that negative reading bug with Martin? Thank you

My friend had micro inverters at his house with panels. Problem: they produce a lot of RF interference, being a Amateur Radio operator, the interference disappears with no sun, he got rid of them and went with a single MPPT charger. He can now communicate during the daytime. Some manufactures are not following RF radiation compliance rules.

The only 'solution' I found is setting the AC-Input to Generator (Settings - System Setup). Then, it shows the inverter in VRM without adding it to the Total Solar.
