Why the grid caused this Dutch campsite solar to blow up

This campsite in the Drenther province of the Netherlands has tried its best to use solar energy. However, because the Dutch electricity grid here is so unstable, a significant amount of equipment for the owner, Henk, and his wife has been blown up.

So he has had a shipping container built with lots of Victron equipment and batteries and has stopped any grid issues. He also uses Node-RED to use the extra solar power to heat water for the site campers.
