+__Special note for Off-Grid systems__
+For Off-grid systems, its strongly recommend to make sure there is a minimum of DC-Coupled PV (= MPPT Solar Charger) in the system. Ie. not only AC-Coupled PV. Also, minimum battery configuration, and factor 1.0 are always important to adhere to, and even more so in case of Off-grid systems. Both BYD and Victron will be reluctant or even refusing to give support to systems that are not sized according to the minimum battery configuration table.
