So I feel that you never get a difinative answer in the Solar industry. There are alwasy to many permitations and views! I realsie openeing my questions to a forum such as this may compound the issue but I thought I would try. Also this is very specific and directed as Victron a little and there very lack luster support.
System: Off grid solar with generator support
Inverters: 3x Victorn Phenix multi plus 5K 24V units
Solar charger: Outback Flex Max 8-amp version
Batterys: 12 x 2V, 24V 3000amp per cell c-2
Solar pannels: 4900W split in to two string
Other hardware: Victron BMV 602, Victron Power pannel 2, VRG, Victron battery VE.net battery monitor.
Problem: On the VGR none of the solar energy is recorded and the generator support is also not.
When you log in to the very nice looking Victron monitoring system you have the option of looking at solar yield and generator yield to see the break down in you power usage. My system shows none on this.
I can assured by Victron that as long as I wired the solar chargers feed to the inverter side on the of the shunt on the negative DC line that this would work. It does not! any ideas.
Also when the generator runs, this AC is connected directly to the inverters, that the VGR monitoring again does not record any generator support.
I can see the AC come in and the system shows the mains/generator being on but the yield does not change. Again with the DC side of things I can see the battery voltage climb during the day and the BMV 602 state of charge increases. However the Ve.net SOC just continues to track south to zero unit the generator run. This is not such a problem as i use the BMV to trigger the generator for low SOC and the inverter virtual switch for the load support.
Whats wrong with my system why does the solar yield not show up in the victron system. Any ideas?
Note I use VGR and VRM interchangable as the VGR uploads to the VRM interface/portal
