It’s been delayed due to thorough testing, and re-testing. I’ve managed to get a peek into the beta testing… it’s been in the country for ages. Personally I’m glad they waited and made sure it was perfect rather than bow to pressure and push out something that wasn’t 100% perfect and have recalls, like most corporations would 😁.

I can tell you now though, it wont be perfect, software is never perfect, you'll always find new issues in the real world, it's how they deal with that which makes the difference. On the Eddi/Zappi beta's they've been exceptionally fast at turning around the changes.

Myenergi changed the spec sheet a little for the libbi, increased the start voltage a little and reduced the max charge and discharge when you only have one 5kWh battery module.

@@DezFutak 2 Customers went for the Sunsynk system. Sunsynk is a lot cheaper, so one customer used the savings to get a 3rd battery and the other stuck with his 5Kw battery but has a working system and saved a good amount of money by using Sunsynk instead. 3 Customers decided to go for the Huawei system instead. The price is very similar to the Libbi but the system is a lot smaller in physical size and takes up less space. (especially when having 15Kw of battery). The Huawei is also a high voltage system with 100% depth of discharge. I am still not sold on the Libbi as I like to set my own charge times instead of letting the system decide if I do or do not need to charge. Also not having in installer app is not great in my opinion Our 1st Libbi install is next week though so i could be wrong and love the system once I have installed it and checked it out properly.

I’ve been running a Victron Multiplus-II 48/5000/70-50 with two Pylontech US5000 4.8kWh battery modules since late October 2022 and it has been fantastic. I also added a 6.8kWp solar array in mid June along with a pair of Victron MPPT 250/60 charge controllers and the system is running really well. I’m about to order a third battery because we’re generating more energy than we can store most of the time. As you say, Victron gear is really solid and the community forum is very active and informative so I have zero regrets for following this route. The pylontech batteries have been great as well and seem to be very well engineered. Yes, maybe Victron gear is a bit more expensive but when you pick the products up (if you can!) then you realise you are getting an industrial grade product.

@@craigchamberlain Have a very similar set up - except with 4 x US3000 modules and a chunk of AC coupled solar that was already in place - as well as some extra on an MPPT. I had gone down the MyEnergi route with a Zappi and Eddi (plus harvis and hub) and was aware of the forthcoming Libbi, but specifically chose to go the Victron for battery storage instead. I've found the MyEnergi gear to be OK...ish. I was an early adopter, so on Zappi1, which has felt like being a beta tester. Fine for £700 device that I can change out, but there was no way I was putting £1000s down on a beta product like Libbi when MyEnergi are new to this market and have zero experience of batteries, inverters etc. I've been so impressed with Victron - the equipment is excellent and incredibly flexible. I decided to suffer the unit cost (and need for separate TypeB RCD and PEN fault) to get their EV charger - and although a simple device in practice, the integration is night and day better than MyEnergi. Unfortunately I think it has to be said that Victron are an engineering company - whereas MyEnergi are more of a marketing outfit (oh and massive support crew dealing with all the problems!).

@@deang5622 the car manufacturers have been well reported as the trigger. In 2020 the cancelled all of their orders for silicone fabs, assuming car sales would crash. Thus then forced fabs to slash production or sell it to others to soak up the losses. Car sales then actually surged, so car manufacturers then suddenly placed massive, and urgent, orders totally overwhelming all fabrication abd driving all lower cost items off the production lines. These irders are usually placed years in advance, so it utterly destroyed the industry, and its why the lowest cost items like DC-DC converters/regulators and the humble Raspberry Pi have been decimated, as they don't have the margins to purchase the now far more expensive production pricing!

I think certain battery types like lithium (ferrous) phosphate are much less prone to fire than NMC types (often used in vehicles). They may indeed be all but non-flammable. A key factor is the electrolyte solvent. Water solutions are obviously much safer than organic. Lithium phosphate is being widely sold for home storage systems.

It's possible the controller uses the phase cycle zero cross point to measure something relevant to that phase, but I cant imagine why they would have phase sensitive stuff away from the power control electronics. If it doesnt then there's no reason a controller couldn't be fed by any phase as it will be using low voltage dc to function. Unless they just want to ensure the controller stays powered in the even another circuit fails.

Those naked backboards you put in look awful. Why use them as you are just screwing them onto what appears to be a perfectly good flat wall - which is ready finished to match the room.

I hate being negative, but you've sold a product that wasn't even available at the time... and then proceeded with installation work that might have to be changed if an alternative product has to be sourced... and you've gone down this route with multiple customers!

myenergi are quite open about using thre KStar hardware. Their secret sauce is their controller and the integration it brings with the rest of their ecosystem.

@@ryanmcconnell5740 about right. My such a shame myenergi make some great products, never had them down as piggie backing another. Let’s home they make them both compatible so customers can just buy a KStar battery instead of extra expense.

Or let them equal the price of the kstar battery ( add some 10% or whatever) paying 50% more seems to much.

From what I've gathered on plenty of different forums, ME did try to get someone in the UK to manufacture the batteries, and even had a crack at it in house, but the expertise is out in China. What they've done is taken the 'dumb' battery and made it integrate into the ME ecosystem. It can do very clever things that you can with other batteries, such as letting the house run from batteries and charge the car alone from the grid. I can do a lot of what ME offer with my Victron inverter, home assistant and Pylontech batteries but its taken a lot of effort, and if I charged myself my day rate for the work, it would have been more expensive than the difference of a Libbi over this kit. In saying that Libbi was meant to be coming this time last year, so glad I didnt wait and just got on with our install!

Well it’s a risk to sell a product before it’s actually being shipped. Growing pains and traps for the in initiated. It’s never a good idea to use customers as test subjects. Oops!
