hi folks, does anyone have any experience with hooking up a Victron Energy Smart Battery Sense Long Range (link below): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RTYGMBD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to a Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100V 30 amp 12/24-Volt Solar Charge...

hello solar wizards, currently, I have a perfectly (newbie grin) designed & usable system for my current needs and consumption (main components below): -- 400W solar panels, -- a Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100V 30 amp 12/24-Volt SCC (sending energy at 30 amps tops) --12V 300A CHINS LiFeO4...

hello folks, newbie here, I originally purchased a Renogy 200W Mobile solar panel which is working flawlessly with my Victron SCC 100V/30A outputting 180-205W. I then bought two 200W Newpowa solar panels (non-mobile). Both of the NewPowa panels, when connected by themselves output 17+V, but no...

hi folks, I have a total of 8 Mega RichSolar 200W panels that I'm trying to set up to get the most output for my inverter and while the theoretical max of 1600W cannot be achieved, I feel that what I am getting, approx 1000W, is a tad suboptimal. I have tested one string of 4S and getting some...

hi folks, I have a fairly decently working starter setup consisting of 2 CHINS 12V 280A LiFePO4 batteries, a Renogy battery Monitor/shunt, a Victron 100|50 SCC and panels. I'm trying to repurpose these two batteries to feed into a slightly more powerful setup, a PowMR SPF 3000TL LVM-24P...

hello folks, I have setup a fairly new, small system: a 300A CHINS 12.8V 300AH battery LiFePO4 a Victron SmartSolar CC MPPT 100/30 a Renogy 500A Battery Monitor, a Renogy 200 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Foldable Solar Suitcase (with the PWM CC that I am not using, using the Victron one) a...

hello folks, was wondering if anyone has come across a BLUE (BULK) blinking light (every 4 seconds) for a Victron SmartSolar 100/30, on an otherwise well functioning system. Before the BULK light started blinking (it was constant BLUE), I had "borrowd temporarily" the 12AWG cables that came with...

Hi folks, if I m not mistaken, reading Will's recommendations for wire type, he does not advocate for tinned copper, but neither on richsolar (product type, link below) nor on renogy, I cannot find better wires than this, to use for a 400watt 12v system. Is this 10gauge wire tinned copper ok...

hi folks, I currently have 4x 200W panels Mega Panels from RichSolar (https://richsolar.com/products/200-watt-solar-panel?_pos=2&_psq=mega+panel&_ss=e&_v=1.0) connected in Series, that produce some 650Wh tops. Would like to possibly double that, by connecting other panels in parallel with the...

hi folks, A few years ago, I had a nice solar system comprised of a few Ricksolar panels, a Victron SmartSolar 100/50 with a Novopal 2000W inverter that was working beautifully for a few month, but it's been since, put in storage. I've resurected the setup and it appears that the Victron...

hi folks, I have a SPF 3000TL LVM-24P growatt, with a dongle PN SKMR00.0000300 and I'm having a very hard time installing the ShinePhone app/ShineTools. It seems even to register, it's asking for installer code, I cannot setup a password, the instructions are in very tiny font (instructions...
