I plan to install 8x 200 watt 24 volt Rich Solar panels on my RV. Imp=5.32A and Isc=5.83A. I have a 12v battery bank. I plan to wire the panels either 8p or 2s4p. Would a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/100 (100amp charge current) work? Or should I consider two Victron 150/60? I'm sticking with Victron for compatibility with my other Victron gear. Thank you in advance for any guidance.
 
Have you tried the Victron solar charge controller sizing tool on their website?

You enter your array and battery info into their calculator and it spits out compatible SCCs.
 
Nope. I was so focused on looking at spec sheets that I didn't even see the large calculator button :rolleyes: Thanks for the tip :)

Update: The Victron calculator says the 150/100 will be sufficient. Thanks.
