  • Can't wrap my head around why there is so much loss when panels are so close to the same.

    A 2 panels 20.2 vmp 5.2 imp B 4 panels 19.23. Vmp 5.2 imp 2B+1A series 2B+1A series Both strings parallel Series / parallel calculators show I would lose 35% or more if I wire them 3s2p. Why does less than a volt difference kill this much performance?
  • Can the victron connect app run on raspberry pi? (not venusOs)

    I'd like to have a raspberry pi 4b with small screen near the victron smartsolar rather than using my phone or a laptop. The appimage doesn't seem to support arm based Linux only Android. Anyone have victron connect running on a Pi?
  • Is there a nifty build calculator that considers distance, voltages, wire gauge etc

    I'd like to put an array about 90 meters from the house. I'm not sure on size other than it will probably be less than 2kw. I would like to play with number of panels, distance vs wire gauge, estimate mppt needs etc to maximize production and limit costs. Are there any nifty system build...
  • Anything else recommended for this EVE 48v 105ah build ?

  • MPPT devices that run directly from solar input ?

    What are some devices that can have solar panel arrays directly attached to them without the need for batteries/controllers, etc. Devices that simply run when there is enough sun wattage and shutdown when there is not. 1.Solar water pumps 2.Solar water heaters (dump loads included) 3. ??
