Use a Victron smart battery protect BP-65 to disconnect solar panel controller from solar panel ?

Yes I can see how there is a technical solution for it and said solution could be more or less complicated. My point is that IF this is a actual problem I have a very hard time believing company’s like Victron wouldn’t state it in their manuals or sell products eliminating the risk. I’m no expert in solar though, I just want someone to present facts not “what they’ve heard”. Sorry RandyP, really not directed to you.

Tried that, no real good answer there either unfortunately. Sorry for cutting in and going a bit OT.

...................................
If there is an actual risk and problem here, more or less every solar system using any type of BMS always MUST have a relay breaking the connection between the PV and the SCC.....................

Victron Smart Mppt 150/45 and up have built in remote switchs and neither the remote cable or bp65 are needed.

So Victron does have a solution for the problem in their bigger SCC's

Interesting, wonder if that’s because of the higher voltages and currents or to just lower the price on the smaller SCCs?
