⚡ Architecture note: House and shop are independent systems — not interconnected. Each has its own Cerbo GX, Smart Shunt, battery bank, and inverter.

🔋 Rolling Solar Array: 2× ZNshine 370W panels in parallel (~740W) on a portable rolling frame. Built for mobile solar charging — currently configured for the Anker Solix F3800 (accepts up to 1200W solar input). Future plans include van charging with proper MPPT + DC-DC converter.

❄️ Cooling: All AC units are EG4 Hybrid (AC/DC). Solar-direct panels bypass the inverter and batteries entirely — they power cooling directly during sunny hours but contribute nothing to battery charging. The units can also run from grid/battery via their AC side when solar isn't available.

📡 Monitoring: Both Cerbo GX devices run Venus OS and are accessible on the local network. VRM Portal provides remote monitoring at vrm.victronenergy.com.
