Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100/20

Victron Energy SmartSolar charge controller MPPT 100/20. Unboxing and review.
This is a mega quality solar charger. My favorite brand.
Later in the new video I will record the installation in a river boat.

What’s the music? I don’t understand what you are saying

[johnmanatt]

I’m using the SmartSolar 100/20 Controller and a 200 w mono solar panel to charge 8 6volt deep gel cell batteries. When I connect all wires I get a yellow light instead of a blue light. Initially when I connect the the last wire it lights up blue until I tighten it in place and the light changes to yellow. What does yellow indicate and shouldn’t the light be blue for a regular charge?

It’s really nice product, I used to installed it before. Thanks for sharing

[MatzeMaulwurf]

I'm using one of those (exact Modell) to charge my Battery in my Camper Van (R/V). I have a standard 330W Peak Module on the roof and this charger charges the main Battery. Very good Charger. Nice App.

No music please and that was a lead battery you connected too

I really love this video, it show everything i need to know, thanks 🙏🏼

Yep this is the goto MPPT for me. It can do 12/24/48 volt batteries and is the largest that has it's own load port. Wicked.

That it is Victron speaks for itself, no other brand in my systems ;-)

Questtion on this MPPT controller. I hae 2 house to start batteries on my boat. Got to the boat and app said they were floating. Showed 20v from 2 100 watt panels 0 amps. When my boat is running my battery monitor shows -1.59 amp draw? Why? The voltage is 14.8 from motors. Shunt is installed correct to a neg bus bar. All house loads are off during readings. This also has a ACR

Nice video. I am going to get some Victron's in the near future.

Hi, can I control load from one A) 48V battery to other B) 48V battery via Victron 100/20 without solar input in the way to provide that battery A can not discharge to 0%??

What size wire are you using at the Victron battery connections? I have the same controller, and when I used ferrules on 10AWG stranded wire the ferrules wouldn't fit into the Victron. In my opinion, the terminals on the Victron are pretty anemic.

Hello;
I have an E-essential Flat 130 Watts Inovtech Monocrystalline solar panel,
and a Power Battery 12v 130 ah slow discharge Battery Lead Calcium Technology.
Can you please tell me which Victron regulator model would fit,
for this setup.
Thank you.

[abelramos]

Hi there! can you use one of this with a no hybrid (regular on grid) inverter? Thanks

[sketcheddraftingdesign]

What is the largest size cable that would fit into the battery and PV terminals ? Would 8 B&S fit ?

[UKvet]

Hi is there a way to wire this so it charges leisure battery and the vehicle battery

[myresonance]

Would I be able to run x2 160watt panels with the 100/20 brother ?!??

[ZokiG]

Pozdrav. Imam jedno pitanje. Sa elektronikom nisam baš na ti. Imam Allpowers SP033 200W prenosni solarni panel. Njegove specifikacije su: Open circuit voltage 22, 2V, Short circuit current 12A, Power voltage 18V, Power curent 11A. Je li mi za punjenje 12V 100ah lifepo4 akumulatora treba ovaj 100/20A mptt kontroler ili mogu uzeti i njihov mptt 75/15A?

[adassociates]

Will it be hook up to same system with Renogy DC DC charger? As the Renogy won’t be able to run solar panels in series/parallel. Thanks

[alexanderstrelow]

Hi and thank you for the video. I am willing to buy this charge controller for my two Solar panals to charge a 12v battery. My panels do have 550 watts each and in series they will have ~80v at ~18 ampre. My question is: how much watt of my 1150 max will I be able to youse charging a 12v? Does this only run at 290 watts or can I use everything that is being currently producee?

[SolarizeYourLife]

An long as you don't ever take apart....😂
Why then is no 30 amp and very few 48v units????
