One path I am exploring is to use the weak 'virtual' load port on the victron to trigger a relay state... I have a 48v to 12v buck converter and then a pretty stout DC relay that can handle a few hundred volts pretty comfortably. I can set the victron to kick on the load port when the voltage...

solar panels are SRP-340-6MA 340 watt VMP - 37.7 IMP - 9.02 in 2 series 2 parallel I believe the totals would be... 75.4V 18.04A It seems like a safe range, I'd hope... Any input on my main question? Thanks!

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for ideas and feedback... I would like to know if anyone has tried this concept before and how it worked for them, or if they think it is a reasonable exploration to look into... I have 4x 340watt panels currently connected in two series that are paralleled...

Yeah, it's super odd and pretty frustrating that their documentation basically says "use a relay" but (and I've searched very far and wide) offer no specifics of what relay to use or how to wire it. There seems to be no tech support available from Victron either, so it's a tough one!

I ended up going down another path with this, I'll share notes if there is any interest. I bought an 18 dollar dc-dc step down that takes in 48V (but can take up to 60V) and puts out 12V on the other end. That would then very easily speak to a standard solid state relay rated for 3-32VDC and I...

It seems like the safer thing is to avoid using AC elements for a DC application, right? Question comes back to the basic of is there a good quality/safe DC relay that is happy to be controlled up to 60V DC and can allow up to 90V or 100V at up to 20A DC to flow through the live side when the...

It seems what I'm reading here is a theme that it may not matter if a relay is made for DC or AC so long as the volts and current are in the specifications? For some reason I understood them to be AC/DC specific and needing to be all DC for the application I have in mind. Also, thanks everyone...

Missouri Wind and Solar have what you may be looking for: https://windandsolar.com/dc-water-heating-elements/ They have a low cost DC thermostat that has various Volts and temp cutoffs...

I looked into a bunch of options but it is still new enough to me to feel overwhelming to know which to go for. Is there a model you are aware of that can easily accept up to 60+ volts on the control leg and allow a pass through of up to 100v on the line side?

I have spent an immense amount of time trying to understand how to do what I would have thought was a very simple thing. Perhaps it is and I'm missing something. Please let me know! I have a Victron 100/20 MPPT working with an EG4 battery. 48V system, it charges the battery up to 56.8V All...
