First time I manage to max out my epever 100 amp ssc

I got epevers biggest offgrid ssc an it can take 200v solar input and 100 amp 48v system output.

Its still early spring but days getting longer and sun getting higher each day on the sky. Bough additional solarpanels late autumn 2021 so i haven't really got to try them out properly yet.. because winter I got 20x 34v 10amp solar panels

A few days ago i managed for the first time hit over 5000watt solar input power and a couple of days after that my ssc managed to get enough current so it had to start limiting the current. Technically the max should be 54:ish volt x 100 amp so 5400 watt but i learned now that the ssc goes to 95amp max and tries to limit current staying stable around 90-95 amp "only"

Picture below is 20feb still "winter" early spring when i saw 5kw miles stone for the first time

I live in northern europe. Same climate as canada

wow, congrats!

*cracks a tinny*

Is the SCC limiting current because its warm? Probably not that hot in Northern Europe in February.

I found my Victron SCC will limit the current to 80%-90% of the output if its hot. I’ve only seen it hot when I left it in the sun, otherwise, it runs at 100%.

Do you plan on adding another SCC To max out the panels?

ah no its very cold nowhere close to overheating.

No, i added panels to max out the ssc haha, in any case in spring summer and autumn I have more than enough power. In winter i have nowhere enough power

Nine months excess power, 3 months not enough, at some average load.
How much space do you have for additional batteries?

I feel a computation coming on. . .

I'm watching this space

I suspect that during the summer cooling for my EPever 8420AN's will be one of my bottlenecks...

at 5000 watts and 98.5% efficiency 75 watts is lost as heat. If ambient temperature is to high add some spacers between wall and the ssc and a pc fan =)
