Otherwise they would overcharge the batteries. Solar power is obviously wasted when reducing the output power. For off-grid systems one could start a pump, or a heater, or do something else that uses this &#8216;excess&#8217; power. And in on-grid systems in countries with a feed-in tariff it would pay to keep converting at the Maximum Power Point, and then have the Multi feed that surplus back into the grid. And that is exactly what we call a Hub-1 system: as soon as batteries are becoming full, the solar charger will keep operating at the maximum power point and &#8216;push&#8217; as much power as possible on to the DC. The Multi, in constant communication with the Solar charger, will take that excess power and feed it back into the grid.<\/p>\n<p>More background information about Hub-1 can be found in <a title=\"Hub-1 working!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/2013\/11\/16\/hub-1-working\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my previous blogpost about Hub1<\/a>, and in my father&#8217;s excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/markets\/self-consumption-and-home-energy-storage\" target=\"_blank\">brochure about Self-consumption and Energy Storage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hub-1 allows several selection policies, as explained on this page of the Assistant:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/hub1-selection.png\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"full-size-image container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/hub1-selection.png\" alt=\"hub1-selection\" width=\"483\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2014\/03\/hub1-selection.png 483w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2014\/03\/hub1-selection-227x300.png 227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Requirements<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The Multi or Quattro needs to have the new microprocessor: make sure that the 7 digit firmware version number, as written on the microprocessor, starts with 26 or 27.

There is a disadvantage though: when inverting, and therefore disconnected from the Grid, the Multi Compact cannot quickly switch back from Inverter mode to \u00a0the grid in case of an overload. This means that it is not possible to use Multi Compacts for systems with a possible load higher than the maximum inverter power.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Where can I find an Anti-Islanding device?<br \/>\n<\/span>Ask your Victron representative.
