Very nice! I really like my Victron setup.
 

Whatever DB size was specified, make it bigger! This is the new DB I installed in the garage and I completely filled it up with the various breakers/changeover switches.

Completed the assembly of the Renusol TS+ components and installed/wired the panels on Saturday/night. Will post a photo of the solar panels on the mounting hardware.
Updated the firmware of the Smartsolar 450/100 and we were good to go.

 
I ran out of sprag over the weekend so I still need to tidy up the cabling to the MPPT and the batteries. I also need to redo the DC cabling from the Inverters to the busbar as they are not all the same length and the inverter with the shortest cable is working the hardest.

 
Here are the stats for today. Overall I'm very happy with the outcome.

 

Mounted the third inverter last night and started with the wiring. 

 
Wil be adding a separate earthing wire for the cases tonight.

 
Started with the battery wiring as well. Couldn't find red cable so blue will have to do. Each inverter and solar controller battery wiring is 25mm. I will be running either a  single 75mm or 2 x 50mm cables from the busbars to the KETO disconnect. 

Finished making all the DC cables. I simply could not get the 75mm cable to fit in the top busbar enclosure so I resorted to 2 x 50mm. I have a severe disliking in working with anything over 6mm! 🤣


Finally complete!

 

The solar side is no where near completion but I wanted to get the inverter and batteries online so I can give the middle finger to loadshedding. 
Connected all the inverters together with the cable I made, fired up the laptop and connected the MK3 interface to the VE.BUS port of the left inverter which will be the master, the other 2 will be slaves. The VE.Bus Quick Configure tool makes it very easy to setup a parallel or 3 phase system. They all have to be of the same type and firmware version. I had to update my master to the latest firmware and it was good to go.

 
Did some basic config using VEConfig and BAM, we are online on VRM! Looking at these load figures I seriously need to pull my finger out and get the solar panels up and running. I'm keeping City Power afloat all by my self!

Wiring of the DB started. 

Stated with the installation of the trunking. The OBO stuff from O-line is really nice to work with. Big thanks to @HiTech for pointing me in the right direction.
Still have to the enclosures with the busbars, KETO disconnect and the bottom trunking for the batteries.

Finished making all the DC cables. I simply could not get the 75mm cable to fit in the top busbar enclosure so I resorted to 2 x 50mm. I have a severe disliking in working with anything over 6mm! 🤣
