Since I started getting my setup together it's nothing but grey depressing skies in the UK :O(

Thanks for your advice, pleased it should be fine. Any ideas on how the 150/35 would work for the same setup? I bought that and will return it when the 100/50 arrives tomorrow. Thanks again.

I am planning two pairs of 3 x 12v 100w solar panels in series and then connecting them in parallel so a 3s2p solar array. Am I correct in thinking that my Victron 100/50 solar controller will be able to handle this setup? I've estimated it should be around 72.9v at 10.4a going into the charge...

How have you connected the smart sense, 1st battery + and last battery -? Also, does it work with any batteries and not just Victron? I'm looking at getting one. I have the Victron 150/35 cc and 2 x 100ah Lifepo4 batteries in parallel. Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a good safe charger to user with a LiFePo4 12v 100ah battery? I'm pretty new to this and don't want to ruin or short life a new battery. Thank you.

What SOK battery do you have?

Hi, I have seen this Hypery 100Ah LiFePo4 battery on eBay and I am tempted to buy it but I see nothing on the internet anywhere other than eBay, not even amazon. Is it a real battery or a scam? It looks great and has a good spec: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364047103293?var=633370495500 Cheaper...

Interesting idea! What are you planning on battery wise? 1 x LiFePo4 100Ah for testing if it's all self contained why do you need a long cable run? The solar array has to be at the back of the garden and I will keep the rest of it in the house where it is warm. I am now thinking of running the...

I can answer those but on phone is difficult. I'll post back tomorrow when on laptop. Can't get on with this phone, thanks ?

Thanks, but not what I'm looking for. I will build my set up onto a small wheeled trolly to move room to room as needed once charged. It's a first project that I hope to learn from and build bigger.

Hi, sorry I am very new to this and building a 12v 3 panel solar array in parallel. My problem is I can only mount the panels at the bottom of my garden and the house is 75 feet away. I've not bought any gear yet as I am planning it all out first. My problem is that at 75 feet with 3 x 100w...
