I have two of the 100. 30's one 100. 50 and one 150.70. all work great and also the 24.24.12 DC to DC charger and it's also great

Thank you for the video! Very helpful.

Question: Victron 100/30 or 150/35? Currently have 400w of solar, 4 x 100, in series, parallel. Will be on a 1 x 12v LifePo4 100aH system. Both will serve the current panel capacity, but would like room to expand in the future whether it be going to a 24v system or expanding the solar panel capacity.

Do you know if the PV minimum input voltages are the same between the two units? Thanks

[ChristophPuetz]

Great video. Would you think that the 100/50 can handle 800 watts of solar on a van or would you go up to the 150/70 and rather oversize the controller to take advantage of the solar as much as possible?

[beefitter]

Very good explanation about the volt/amp rating. I have been looking for clarity on the amps side.

[sboy]

Although the 75/15 would more than support my RV, the input terminals will not take any wire larger than 10ga. That is something you need to know. The solar and battery wiring in most RVs is 8ga. 8ga is significantly larger than 10ga so you will need to be prepared to step it down properly.

I currently have a 12 volt system with a 230ah lithium battery, a 200 watt Renogy panel suitcase with the included Renogy 20 amp pwm controller. Currently 200 watts seem to be sufficient for my camping needs but want the ability to expand my system later down the road, maybe 400 watts of panels. I was thinking of getting a victron 100/30 or 100/50. If i get one of those would my current 200 watts of panels cause a problem because of lower input into the controller. Is there a minimum on these controllers to be effective. Thanks.

Can you ever go to big of an MPPT Besides being overkill would there be a point where it hurts the charging?

[UKsystems]

With the small ones that have the battery connection personally I have used one connected as the battery without a solar panel to connect some low-voltage loads to the battery as I have some very low current ones and then the inverter so it gives me the functionality of the shunt to tell me how much power is coming up the battery but way cheaper

[MaleselaMalesela-ir]

I have a 550 watts solar panel and 75/15 controller with 12v battery will the controller work?

[milliondollar]

Can you reccomend anything that will handel the HOT🔥Desert temp 117,
I got ten of the 320w panels on roof, off grid, need something that will take the watts and heat, what is best 12, 24, 48v?, ,thanks

[neomatrix]

Hello thank you for sharing currently on the Schneider Electric guy but I've always really want it victron I'm running a 24-volt system my question for victron charge controllers is how was a customer to know how many watts he can attach to the specific charge controller does it have it on the unit say like 12-volt battery you can have X amount of watts and then 24 volt you can have double the amount of watts and so on

[savageolatunde]

Please I have a question. I have been curious for a while now about these charge controller algorithm.

I know there is Constant current stage, constant voltage etc.
I also know that when there is load on inverter, it draws a large amount of current from the battery.

My question is, how does the charge controller differentiate the current drawn by the battery from the one drawn by the load so that it can effectively execute the constant current.
Having in mind that the inverter, battery and the charge controller is connected in parallel.

On another thought, i believe this is when hybrid inverter is more smarter, because it can know how to separate the current going to the load from the one being drawn by the battery, so that it can charge the battery effectively.


To put this in a proper number perspective, a 12v 200A tubular has a charging current rate of 0.1C which is 20A, a mppt charge controller can supply 60A but knows that it can only give the battery 20A. But a 600w load at the same time draws like 50A from the battery. How does the charge controller knows that the current drawn is from the battery or from the load, because the charge controller will make sure that the charge going to the battery doesnt exceed the 20A. This in turn will make the battery undercharge.

I need your input sir.

Four 525 watts, 48voc 14a.Which controller to do 4-6 panels?

[Fester_]

48v working models would have been useful. Good stuff anyway, cheers and keep at it.

[harrywest]

So now i have the 100/30 running 400 watts of solar . But i want to go up to 1000 watts of solar panels and two lithium batteries. Is the 100/50 going to be strong enough fot that?

[andre_ukraine]

I just bought three solar panels, 100W and 18Vx6.5A each to charge my Anker 757 power station. Also I chose Mppt 75 10, the junior model, as Anker accepts only 30V 10A input, I based my estimate on serial connection of the panels, getting no more than 60V and 7A then. But, when trying to charge with Lifepo4 setting and 12 or 24V, the solar controller just showing bulk for a minute or so with 160 to 215W max, after which all goes down to nearly zero charge on the station, and I can't get the reason. Is there any settings that I missed to check?

[MrJellybean]

Hi im looking at getting the victron 100/20 to run a 100w panel and 100ah lifepo4 battery, it will be used mainly to run a compressor fridge when camping. Do you know if you can set the output to cut off at a certain low voltage and turn on again when a certain voltage is reached? I dont want to kill my new battery by running it too low. Thanks

[stewslogisticsllc]

So I have a 100/15 and a 12v system, how many watts can I put into my charge controller

[mariodasilva]

I am inbetween converting from lead acid to LiFePo batteries. Can I use a Victron Smart solar MPPT 100/50 to drive a Victron Orion isolated DC to DC convertor to charge two 12v batteries, one being a 100A Pb Marine battery, and the other a LiFePo 12v 200A battery, that eventually go to 2 separate inverters, one for only lights, and the other for powering fridges?
