// WHY 365 TECHIES
A real Victron installer that actually covers Dorset
Ask around the off-grid community and you'll hear the same frustration: plenty of Victron installers up-country, but getting one to travel down to Dorset can be a struggle. We're a Dorset firm through and through, we work across the whole county — Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne, Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport, Sherborne, Blandford, Shaftesbury, the Purbecks and out to the rural edges — and off-grid power isn't a sideline we bolted on. We live it.
Everything we build is genuine Victron Energy equipment — a trusted name in off-grid and backup power, chosen because it's reliable, endlessly serviceable, and (crucially) it can be monitored remotely. That last part is where we're different from a general electrician who occasionally fits a battery: we're an IT and systems company as well as an install team, so we don't just wire it up and walk away — we connect it to Victron's free cloud portal (VRM) and keep watch on it for you.
We handle the whole job under one roof: a proper design based on how much energy you actually use, honest supply of the right components (no over-selling), a tidy, safe install, and ongoing remote monitoring so problems are spotted before they leave you in the dark. There's no call-out fee to talk it through, and we quote clearly before any work.
// WHAT WE FIT
Solar, lithium, MPPT, inverters and Cerbo GX — the full Victron stack
Whether it's a whole-house backup system, an off-grid cabin, a workshop, a campervan conversion, a motorhome or a boat, the building blocks are the same — and we fit them all as a properly-engineered system, not a box of parts:
- Solar & MPPT charge controllers — Victron SmartSolar MPPT controllers sized to your panels, from compact units like the 75/15 up to larger models such as the 150/70 for bigger arrays, so you harvest the most from every hour of sun.
- Lithium battery banks — safe, long-life LiFePO4 storage sized to your daily use with a sensible buffer, wired with the correct fusing and cable. For smaller drop-in needs we often use Victron's own Lithium SuperPack, with larger managed banks for whole-house systems. See our dedicated lithium battery installs in Dorset page for more.
- Inverter/chargers — Victron MultiPlus and Quattro units that turn your battery into clean mains power and charge fast from hook-up or a generator, with UPS-grade changeover for backup use (they take over in a fraction of a second when the grid drops).
- Monitoring — Cerbo GX + VRM — a Cerbo GX with SmartShunt battery monitor ties it all together and streams live data to Victron's VRM portal, so you (and we) can see state of charge, solar yield and any faults from anywhere.
Because everything talks the same Victron language, the system behaves as one — and it's future-proof: add more panels or battery later and it slots straight in.
// SEE IT LIVE
Don't take our word for it — watch our own Victron van, live
Most installers show you stock photos. We show you a working system in real time. We run our own off-grid support vehicle — the 365 Crafter, a mobile workshop powered entirely by Victron solar and lithium — and its live VRM dashboards are published right here on our website for anyone to watch. State of charge, solar coming in, power going out — genuine live numbers streamed from Victron's cloud, not a mock-up.
It means two things. First, we build and rely on exactly the kind of system we'll design for you, so we know it inside out in real Dorset conditions. Second, once your system is in, you get the same thing: your own live dashboard and our eyes on it remotely. If a controller drops offline, a battery misbehaves or yield tails off, we can often see it and act before you'd even notice.
Take a look at the live feed and the full detail on our off-grid & Victron energy page — and if the demo link ever drops, we show a clearly-badged sample rather than fake 'live' figures. That honesty is the whole point.
// WHO IT'S FOR
Homes, businesses, vans, motorhomes and boats across Dorset
Off-grid and backup power isn't just for remote cabins any more. We design and install Victron systems for:
- Homes — solar-plus-storage to cut bills and ride out power cuts, or full off-grid for properties beyond the mains.
- Businesses — resilient backup power that keeps tills, servers and essential kit running when the grid drops, plus off-grid power for units, farms and rural sites.
- Campervans & motorhomes — reliable 12V leisure power: run a fridge, lights, hob, laptop and heating without shore power, with proper battery monitoring so you always know your state of charge.
- Boats — dependable 12/24V lithium banks, inverter/chargers, solar and monitoring built to cope with the marine environment.
Every job starts with a proper conversation about what you actually need, then a design built around your real energy use — never a one-size-fits-all package. We supply only what the job needs, install it neatly and safely, and stay involved through remote monitoring afterwards. Ready to talk it through?

// GOOD QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
Do you install Victron systems across Dorset?
Yes — we design, supply, install and remotely monitor Victron Energy systems right across Dorset, from Bournemouth and Poole to Dorchester, Weymouth, the Purbecks and the rural edges. Off-grid owners here often struggle to find an installer willing to travel this far south; we're the local firm that does.
What Victron equipment do you fit?
The full stack: SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers, LiFePO4 lithium battery banks (including Victron's Lithium SuperPack for drop-in needs), MultiPlus and Quattro inverter/chargers, and Cerbo GX with SmartShunt for monitoring. Everything is genuine Victron so the system works as one and can be watched remotely via the VRM portal.
Can I really watch a live Victron system before I commit?
Yes. We run our own off-grid van, the 365 Crafter, powered entirely by Victron solar and lithium, and its live VRM dashboards are published on our website for anyone to watch — real state-of-charge and solar figures, not stock photos. If the link ever drops we show a clearly-badged sample, never fake live numbers.
Do you monitor the system after installation?
Yes — remote monitoring is central to how we work. We connect your system to Victron's free VRM cloud portal so you get your own live dashboard and we keep an eye on it too. If a controller drops offline or a battery misbehaves, we can often spot and fix it before you'd notice.
Can you fit Victron power in a campervan, motorhome or boat?
Yes. We design and install 12V and 24V leisure systems built on Victron — solar, lithium, DC-DC chargers and inverter/chargers — with proper battery monitoring, so you can run your fridge, lights, hob and devices off-grid and always know your state of charge.
How much does a Victron installation cost?
It depends entirely on what you're powering and how much energy you use, so we design each system individually and quote clearly before any work — there's no call-out fee to discuss it. We supply only what the job genuinely needs rather than over-selling a fixed package.
