A nice page outlining those products and comparing them is available here. Also we will release VE.Bus version 455 today, for the MultiGrid and MultiPlus-II inverter/charger models.

Included in this update are various improvements; including that the user interface will not show details of VE.Bus Error 11.

Today we are taking care of all that. A short list of related firmware releases:
