Solar Upgrade - Getting DC Power using the Victron Lynx Bus Bar System

We're moving along on the installation of the Victron 10kVA kit from Current Connected. In this video we're gonna wire up the Victron Lynx Bus Bar system and get DC power to our Victron Multiplus-II 5kVA inverters as well as our Victron MPPT 450V/100A Charge Controller.

Once we get everything installed, we'll put the inverters through their paces just like we did with the EG4 6500s. We will even see if these inverters have some of the same issues that the 6500s did.
