-===== Step 1 - Understand how a Victron Energy ESS system works. ===== +
- +
-Familiarize yourself with the Victron Energy ESS system.\\ +
-A good place to start is to watch this video:  +
-  +
-{{youtube>tbpQzEZTElI?small}} +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== Step 2 - Decide what type of ESS ==== +
- +
-There are a few different ways to set an ESS system up. A combination of these are possible as well: +
-  * DC coupled ESS +
-  * AC coupled ESS +
-  * Energy meter is used +
-  * Grid parallel +
-  * Essential loads are used +
-   +
-These are the basic wiring diagrams for each type: +
- +
-FIXME insert images  +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== Step 3 - Select the system hardware ==== +
- +
-Please see below lists. links are provided to the relevant equipment product pages  +
- +
-You will need: +
-  * Victron inverter/charger(s): [[https://www.victronenergy.com/inverters-chargers]] +
-  * Victron Interface MK3-USB: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/interface-mk3-usb]] +
-  * Victron CCGX or Venus GX: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/panel-systems-remote-monitoring]] +
-  * RJ45 UTP cable(s): [[https://www.victronenergy.com/cables/rj45-utp-cable]] +
-  * Batteries +
- +
-For a DC coupled ESS you will also need: +
-  * Victron MPPT solar chargers: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/solar-charge-controllers]] +
-  * Victron VE.direct cable(s): [[https://www.victronenergy.com/cables/ve.direct.cable]] +
- +
-For an AC coupled ESS you will also need: +
-  * Grid tied inverter +
-   +
-If the ESS needs an energy meter you might need: +
-  * Victron Power meters: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/energy-meter]] +
-  * Victron ASS030572018 - RS485 to USB interface 1.8m  +
-  * Victron Zigbee to USB and RS485 converter: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/zigbee-converters]] +
-  * Victron Current transformer: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/current-transformer-for-multiplus-ii]] +
- +
-To measure PV from an non Fronius , SMA or Solar edge you might need: +
-  * Victron Current sensor: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/ac-current-sensor]] +
-  * Victron Power meters: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/energy-meter]] +
- +
-To equip a CCGX or Venus GX with Wifi you will need: +
-  * Victron WiFi module: BPP900100200  or BPP900200200  +
- +
-In case of a smart battery you might need: +
-  * VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS cable: [[https://www.victronenergy.com.au/cables/ve-can-to-can-bus-bms]] +
- +
- +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== step 4 - Install all equipment ==== +
- +
-  * Install and wire all system parts according to their manuals.  +
-  * Do not connect communication cables between the various parts, this will be done at later stage +
- +
-To finds the applicable installation manuals see the links in the prevision steps. These links will direct you to the relevant product section. Then click on a the applicable product. On the product page scroll down to "Downloads", and then select "manuals" from the drop down box. +

-==== Step 5 - Update firmware of all Victron EES equipment ==== +
- +
-Update all Victron equipment to the most recent firmware version \\  +
-Instructions how to update: +
- +
-**CCGX or venus** +
-CCGX - via automatic update or SD card see: [[ccgx:firmware_updating|]] +
- +
-**MPPTs** +
-MPPT solar charger - Via VictronConnect +
- +
-**VE.bus** +
-Firmware files and firmware change logs can be found on Victron professional +
-Instructions how to update firmware: +

----- +
-==== Step 6 - Set up parallel and/or 3 phase inverter/chargers ==== +
- +
-(skip this step if only a single inverter/charger is used) +
- +
-If the ESS system contains multiple inverter/chargers, they first will need to be set up to run in parallel and/or 3 phase. For instructions on how to do that see this manual: [[ve.bus:manual_parallel_and_three_phase_systems|]]  +

- +
-==== Step 7 - Program the inverter/charger(s) ==== +
- +
-{{:veconfigure:mk3_and_multi.png?200|}} +
- +
-The inverter needs to be programmed, settings like these are important +
-battery monitor settings +
-charger settings +
-AC input limit settings  +
