A retired couple approached us to:

• Eliminate load shedding and 
• save some on electric bill;

With an 5kVA inverter, 5kWh lithium ion battery and a few panels we accomplished just that.

As further benefit, we installed a small LED light to give them an indication when it is load shedding (the system had to be installed in a building separate from the main house)

Components:

• Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-32 Inverter;
• Victron SmartSolar 150/45 MPPT;
• Victron CerboGX + Touch50;
• FreedomWon 5/4 Lithium Battery;
• 6x 410W Canadian Solar PV modules;

Notes:

• ESS enabled with BatteryLife;
• 12V Aux Relay on the MP-II used to power a small LED light to indicate load shedding ;
