Multiplus-II goes into overload at grid failure (UPS)
admiral replied to Crankshaft's topic in Inverters
@PaBz0r maybe post some graphs from VRM so we can see what's happening at the time of overload? Edit, sorry I see you did -

Then I do not know I still have overload warnings at night, with low load - suspect this is due to a long cable to the inverter. Similar to this: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/35581/constant-overload-warnings-on-multiplus-using-ess.html -

@PaBz0r - do you have the South African grid code applied, and how long is the cable between inverter and distribution board? -

Including grinding the tile if you need to etc.? Sorry, forgot to ask. -
Solar panel installation on tile roof - steel strap?
admiral replied to admiral's topic in Solar Power
How much more work is it to install roof hooks compared to using the straps, out of curiosity? Trying ot understand why you'd use the correct rail, but not the hooks. -

@plonkster - that is what I thought as well. Unfortunately only noticed this afterwards <sigh> -
I had 4x 405w panels installed on a tile roof (see below for what roof looks like). The installer did not use tile hooks to attach the rails to the roof, but rather some kind of galvanized steel strap. As far as I can see the strap goes under the tiles and is attached to the rails with screws. The result of this is that the rail lies on the tile roof, but you can move the installation up and down because of the use of strapping instead of tile hooks. Is this a common way to install the rails?

I don't think you need such a complicated diagram; did they specify what it must look like? -

I am using 8 "old" UPS batteries as well, and will give some feedback tomorrow.
