When the MK3-USB is connected ESS is non-functional but I'm not even getting pass-through. The Quattro detects 222V at 50.1Hz when the mg is in discharge mode but disconnects shortly thereafter and reverts back to AC-in 2 (grid).
To be honest it sounds like you are nearly there, as i noted i have the Multiplus II GX - so use an auto transfer swtich to change from AC in Grid to AC in Generator, but mainly use off grid mode / MPPT solar, until cheap overnight rates, where in the summer dont need to topup, but in the winter will makes a decision on a day to day basis (given my peak rate at around 50p / unit)
I am getting an out of phase error from the VE.Bus monitor when it's trying to connect to the mg so I'll try to explore that. This is turning out to be lots of work for probably little gain
Have you tried switching AC IN 1 and 2 around, as my basic understading is that AC IN 1 is the master, with AC 2 the slave.
Did you manage to squeeze more than 2kw out of the car in the end (presuming your using the 470 resister)?
(Yip 470 resister) No issues what so ever taking power from the MG4, as noted, i only need in Dec 22/ Jan 23. I did take it upto ~2.4Kw for 10 hrs, and found no hotspot temps. in the car (plus i used a thermal image camera) - the only thing that i did find strange was the display if i left on climate control in the car, as at times it did creap up to over 5Kw didcharge on the display.
I do agree its not worth it, as its cheap taking power from the grid overnight far outweights any local / home owner intervention (I think my december 22 bill, nearly taking 1GW - was around £90 incl. standing charge), ive just looked on the smart meter display:- Total this year = 3082Kwh which has cost £289 (incl. standing charge at nearlty 50p / day), which is way less than 10p / unit (so if we assume 6 months, then the standing charge is £150, and the usage is £150, i.e. 5p / unit (with EDF))
