The brief
A Victron system, integrated with the home.
The customer wanted a Victron-based solution located in a detached garden workshop, working alongside a 22-panel solar PV installation.
The requirement went beyond installing individual components. Solar generation, battery storage, power conversion and the backup arrangement needed to work together with the property’s existing electrical infrastructure.
SES brought these elements together as a bespoke system, with a dedicated backup distribution board providing power to selected circuits during a mains outage.
The engineering
One coordinated power system.
The installation brings together a Victron MultiPlus-II inverter/charger, Victron solar charge controllers, Lynx DC distribution, battery storage and a local monitoring display.
The workshop provides a dedicated location for the equipment, with the electrical connections and backup arrangements integrated into the wider property.
Backup is provided to the selected circuits connected to the dedicated board. The loads in use and available battery charge determine how much can run and for how long.
Specialist experience
Understanding how the whole system works.
Projects like this draw on Thomas Howe’s extensive experience with Victron systems, including training other installers on their use.
That experience supports the work of integrating equipment, controls and the property’s electrical system around the customer’s requirements.
