- | ===== Solar and wind priority | + | [[solar-and-wind-priority|moved here]] |
- | NOTE: this is a new feature that is being rolled out in steps: | ||
- | |||
- | - VE.Bus Firmware, implement float-only feature - done per version 26/27xx504 | ||
- | - VEConfigure, | ||
- | - VictronConnect, | ||
- | - Venus OS, add user control to override it in case a full charge from shore is needed - pending | ||
- | - VRM Dashboard controls, same - pending. | ||
- | |||
- | In other words, per late June 2023, it is possible to use this feature. A while later, hopefully already in July, we’ll have added the user option to - temporarily - override it for moments when a full charge from shore is required. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ==== 1. Feature description ==== | ||
- | |||
- | In VEConfigure, | ||
- | |||
- | Enabling that will make the inverter/ | ||
- | |||
- | This charges the battery enough to prevent premature ageing, while at the same time leaving the rest of the charge up to renewable sources, such as wind or solar. | ||
- | |||
- | When after seven days the battery still isn’t fully charged, the inverter/ | ||
- | |||
- | The intended application is boats, campers, and so forth that want their solar charger to take care of most of charging when connected to shore power; both while traveling but also when back home. | ||
- | | ||
- | For systems with a Quattro, the charge-to-float will only be applied to AC-in-2, the input where we recommend to wire shore. When charging from AC-in-1, recommended to wire the generator, it will make for a full charge. This AC input selection is not configurable. To prioritize solar over charging from the generator, look at options to start the generator early. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== 2. Config instructions ==== | ||
- | |||
- | TO BE COMPLETED | ||
- | |||
- | Step 1 Requirements | ||
- | - update VE.Bus firmware to 504 or higher. | ||
- | |||
- | === | ||
- | - if the Storage setting is enabled, then after 12 hours of float, the system will go to storage | ||
- | |||
- | ==== 3. Alternative: | ||
- | |||
- | Mostly applicable for larger systems, where the size of the installed inverter is sufficient to power all the loads, there is an alternative solution. | ||
- | |||
- | By using the “Conditonal AC input control” / “Ignore AC input” feature, the Multi or Quattro can be configured to remain disconnected from the shore connection completely. This is described in detail in [[https:// |
