Hello, I've been running an 80amp Epever in a 1200 watt, 4 panel system with the 4 panels run into a combiner box. This produces between 20-32v usually from my 37v used panels into the charge controller of my 24v system. I just changed over from the Epever to a Victron 100/50, and for the most part, it's performing pretty close to identical to the Epever, in full sun days, getting around 6kw of production per day. To be honest, the Victron has not quite produced 6kw yet. Last day of the epever, was three days ago, and it produced 6.1kw, and the Victron has not been above 5.7 yet, but there was a cloud or two yesterday, and the house grid-tie system that usually produces in full sun, 32kw, is my control, and that only produced 30kw. The Victron looks like it might hit 6kw today.
I've read elsewhere that the Victron won't startup unless it has at least 5v over the system voltage, which in the morning, is probably attained. I think it generally starts around 29-30v just about right off the bat.
Will I see better results series and paralleling the two panels on each eave of the roof? Should run 60-70v then, I'd imagine.
