    Victron 250/100 Solar Charge Controller Issue

    Did you ever figure it out? I have new Victron 100/50 and have about 75 volts at the MPPT, but the MPPT is showing zero volts. The controller seems to be funtioning in ever other area. I am pretty sure it isnt defective, Its brand new and just returned the previous one doing the same thing...

    Victron Smart MPPT 100/50

    I just got my eighth Victron controller. They are running to two battery banks. I have had pretty good luck setting them up. This last one I hooked up and it can't get it to come online. Its working, I did the 'two updates'; its on 12v; its on 50amps; the battery is set to smart lithium; its...

    Victron MPPT

    I just got a new Victron 100/50. It's the first one I can't seem to pair with my phone. Any suggestions? The prompt is "see some number on the side" or use 000000. This is about my eighth MPPT of theirs and 000000 always works, first time, I tried this one about 20 times, no luck. Thanks, :)

    Victron 'Smart' Solar MPPT's / Manual on/off

    I only use solar for test runs for power outages. I run them fairly frequently to stay proficient. I use solar mostly to run two deep freezes and one fridge and lights. I can run one room only for air conditioning. My solar panels arent roof mounted. So to keep my batteries (17k ah, 12v) in...

    Victron 'Smart' Solar MPPT's / Manual on/off

    How do you mount them? I saw "MidNite Solar MNBABYBOX Baby Box Enclosure" it looks like it will hold four of the breakers. I may have to get two if I go that route. Thanks again.

    Is it possible to protect your Solar System against EMP?

    This dude is amazing. In my opinion. He runs some really good tests with good equipment.

    Victron 'Smart' Solar MPPT's / Manual on/off

    I run six Victron 100/50 smart solar chargers at my house to two batteries banks. Just for emergency power. I have really enjoyed my selection of MPPT. But if the phones are down, like they were for me last week, how do you manually turn them on or off. Bluetooth is great, but if the phones...

    DC Wiring

    Thank you! I appreciate it. I considered that, but I have four 190ah batteries in parallel didn’t know if that would matter. Thanks again!

    DC Wiring

    I built a 12 volt system with Renogy panels and Victron controllers and Renogy Inverters and it works pretty well. It took me a year to build it. Everything I run off it is AC. How do I wire in some like a 750 w DC heater? Is there something like an inverter except for DC?
