Some very good news for those households that only require a 3.68kW G98 compliant inverter. To date you very much had one Multiplus-II G98 2.4kW (3kVA) option with the 4.4kW (5kVA) model and above all requiring a G99/G100-2 applications with DNO's often demanding output limits to be implemented given the G98/G99 gridcode was a combined setting.One downside of this was that a 2.4kW inverter was maybe just not enough whereas the 4.4kW and G99 application process may have deterred some given the ne …

Did you prefer not to install a more complex parallel system, despite it being very well priced after last year's price reductions?My advice is always to keep things simple and even more so now that the 8kVA (6400W) and 10kVA (8000W) models have G99 certification.

Great news for those who find the fan noise of their trusted and loved MP-II sometimes just a bit unbearable, especially when under load and in close proximity to living spaces. Victron made some work of the feedback they received and released two solutions to address this issue in the form of a hardware retrofit fit kit or a V5.07 firmware update depending on your specific hardware version. Please have a read of the instructions below to determine, which solution is applicable your Multipl …
