==== PV Inverter support ==== | |
| |
{{:assistants:pvinvertersupport.png?direct&150 }} | |
| |
Used in Off-grid PV installs with a grid-tie PV inverter connected to the AC out of a Multi or Quattro. | |
| |
This Assistant will be idle when the Multi or Quattro is connected to mains. | |
| |
When the system is in inverter mode, this Assistant controls the output power of the grid-tie inverter by changing the AC output frequency of the system. It then regulates the charge process: preventing overcharging the batteries. | |
| |

Note that automatic genset start/stop functionality is also available on the Virtual switch tab, which is easier to configure and does not require uploading another type of firmware. See the PDF [[https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/manual-VE.Bus-firmware-versions-explained-EN.pdf|VE.Bus firmware versions explained]] for more information about the different firmware types. | {{:assistants:c000c5d0534684c578209f4e3445bef0.png?direct&150 }}Automatically start and stop a generator based on battery state of charge and actual load of a system.

| This is one of the available options to automatically start and stop a generator using Victron equipment. See the [[auto-generator-start-stop:start|]] document for an overview of all options. More general information about using a generator in combination with Victron is available [[:multiplus_faq|here]]. |

| |
==== Lynx Ion BMS support ==== | Deprecated: per VE.Bus firmware version 489, this Assistant is no longer required. When installing a system with VE.Bus BMS, our advice is to first update the firmware of the inverter, using VictronConnect, and thereafter do the configuration. No Assistant needed. |
