Huge Victron MPPT 150/35 problem, small channel problem, Raspberry Pi and bus bars incoming. UPDATE!

With this video, I'm jumping a bit ahead in time as there will be more videos coming after the last one showing the progress on the installation. But I felt I needed to get this out right now.
I had to get that knife! Please be nice here on the channel, have healthy discussions and help each other out. That's all I'm asking for. I'm not concerned if I'm doing things wrong and others make fun out of me but the overall tone needs to be NICE!
I also giving you an update on the Victron charge controller problem, I briefly mentioned in the Community Tab of my channel.
Thank you everyone for all your support here on the channel and playing fair and nice! THANK YOU.

Thanks for the Shout Out Andy, more than happy to share what I have learned, just like you are sharing your knowledge and experiences on this channel.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Thanks for your help and support Jason!

[@shinesanthosh]

Hey could you please share the links

[@jasonm914]

@@shinesanthosh Hi, I think Andy will be doing a video on the setup, But basically the parts I used are a Raspberry Pi 3B+, A USB TO TTL SERIAL UART RS232 ADAPTOR (PL2303) and a JST PH 4-PIN MALE HEADER CABLE. I bought these from CORE Electronics in Australia, but I imagine a search will find them available elsewhere.

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

Andy, you are “inviting” us into your garage, so we have a responsibility to respect you and your space. Just as you would physically eject someone being disrespectful in your home it should be no different with an online community. Your house, your rules, and if people don’t like that they can leave! Thanks for sharing your experiences here, and clearly that sharing is working both ways - how a good community should be. Stay safe.

[@brian1395]

i subed because you have the balls say enough is enough. Being old school i can respect that.

[@winddreamer8.29]

You are absolutely right. There is no need for rudeness, aggression or anything that is not polite exchange. I feel you are a sincere guy and any mistakes are also a useful happening upon which to capitalise a learning experience. My area of interest is mostly marine off the grid, but I find much of interest in what you do. Keep it up. Don’t let other people’s load get you down! Be well.

[@charlesrichards5389]

I learn much more from my mistakes. 😬

[@henvan8737]

AC is self extinguishing because the voltage is traveling thru zero 100 times per second. Once an arc is established with DC it behaves like an arc welder and will travel along a cable until such time the arc can't be sustained.

[@sprinterdiscovery]

"Stay charged, stay safe... Be nice!" Love that quote at the end of your video!! It's now your new tagline 😁 What an awesome channel you have created!!!

[@grenebulax]

I love all your videos. I'm an amateur as well and love your in depth explanation. Most videos are too short and assume everyone has the same knowledge as the poster. I also love that you show your failures! I'm sure it will save me time in the future.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Too short? I'm usually a bit over the 20min mark which is fairly long. What kind of stuff would you like to see more?

[@grenebulax]

@@OffGridGarageAustralia meant that other people who post videos on how to go solar or set up a batteries have videos that are too short. Not yours.

Hi Andy, thank you for taking the time for this video and adress abusive behaviour online and in life in general. Keep your channel going, we learn so much from you and the solar community! I made a solar install on my camper and would not have been able without the community. "Stay charged, stay safe... Be nice!"

[@paial]

Small suggestion: do a temperature log of the cabinet. My inverter can raise the temperature of a much bigger room (like 3 cubic meters) while in use (even at low loads) by a few degrees. Because there is no ventilation to this room, when you open the door and the inverter has been on for a while, the difference in temperature is very noticeable. Very happy to see that you have got the rpi. Venus is quite nice.

[@michaelbouckley4455]

Yes, thought the cabinet would be a problem, when you first put it up! I think the metal cabinet, without ventilation maybe the cause, as the inverter gets hot, and blows out hot air. You may also risk blowing up the Phoenix Inverter. Some vent slots in the top, and bottom would help

[@charlesrichards5389]

@@michaelbouckley4455 My thoughts exactly. Andy says at 18:00 that the controller never got above 44 degrees. What if all the firmware update did was change what the temperature sensor is reporting? Could the update have made it MORE accurate? 🤔

[@markeh1971]

It’s getting hot! Cooling fan solves it. So it is getting hot and stops working. I think you know the answer.

[@DavidLouthan]

Nice DC breakers! I just got a double post one today too (between victron charge controller 100/50 and battery)! They are so cool!

That's a bummer to hear about the Victron... I have an EPEver that does the same thing and folks have recommended that I spend the big bucks on a Victron to get away from those issues... So much for that theory.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

A software update fixed it a few weeks later. It was a known issue at Victron and they were already working on a solution through an OTA update.

I stand by your opinion, hope Victron fixes the issue.

Love your work , keep the vids coming 😀

[@waynemitchell7871]

I had the same problem with a Magic Series Solar charge controller. Work four days then locks up disconnect overnight hook up work a day and a half lock up no power :( so I guess it’s not Victron having the same problem other MPPT products as well. I think it’s better with a fan internal MPPT charge controller with a temperature sensor so it comes on and off. Anyways like your videos you put your heart and soul into it great information like other KZbin creators who love this stuff lol.

[@jmaus2k]

You should add a couple fans for your enclosure. There is very little heat conducting through the steel or galvanized wall behind. For example inverter powering 2000w x 85% efficient is 300W wasted. That is like 3 100w bulbs running inside a box.

[@peterrock2838]

I've watched all of your videos to date (about solar anyway) and I haven't heard you say "Bob's your uncle" even once. I thought that was a standard saying in Australia... Great video series. I was going to suggest a Raspberry Pie, to control your shunt and your charge controller, and even the temperature in your housing for a fan operation. I like the circuit breakers and the buss bar idea. I am curious to see what is going on with the Victron controller. I am glad I didn't run out an order one. I will stick with my 2 40A Epever controllers for now.

[@williamsneedjr4129]

Thanks for this information

[@boscodog4358]

Andy you and your Frog have a awesome channel 😀! I am a beginning with 1200w solar panels and Epever controller. I really wish that I could take your controller numbers and apply them to the Epever controller. I don't understand your terminology. You have a great channel.

[@aday1637]

I generally enjoy the comments. However, Andy, the mere mention of your action regarding banning 2 people set off a string of comments which deal with 'niceness', 'kindness', etc and really haven't much to do with the topic. Please, if you do ban more, don't mention it. I like to be able to read comments about tech issues. Thanks. I recently purchased the Victron 150/35 myself and haven't put it to the test. My batteries are topped off and there's been no load applied since installation of the Victron. I really appreciate the head-up and will keep my eye on this charge controller to make sure that I don't have to deal with similar issues. The tests you do are generally sound and you seem to take all the possibilities into account with each move. I really enjoy that facet of your thinking. The lengths you go to in order to prove or disprove an idea are wonderful. And it certainly saves us money by not having to do many of these ourselves. Really appreciate.

[@justicelee26]

It’s fun to build solar systems. At the end of the day I do prefer the Solark though. Just wire it up and it works. Charge controllers, inverters, shunt, breakers, built in monitoring, it’s expensive but it works and saves a lot of headache.

[@dstevens7614]

I do appreciate what you do.

[@leozeek]

Andy, I’m glad to see you don’t let the grumpy crazy nasty folks get you down. I was in Germany from time to time in the 1970s when I was in the US Navy. I learned a very popular phrase at that time in German and English it basically translated to “don’t let the bastards get you down”. I think that philosophy still applies.

[@mikenewman4078]

The phrase you seek is "Nil illigitimus carborundum". Your translation is correct.

[@geoffreylohff3876]

Don't let the haters get to you man (or to us). I love your efforts & have learned a few things. If you were remotely nearby I'd offer to stop by & bring you a few beers!

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

One other possible solution for the “short studs” on the inverter, especially if people don’t have the room for busbars, would be to use a thread reducing insert. These are made from stainless steel and have an M8 internal thread (to go onto the inverter studs) but they also have an M12 external thread. They come in various lengths, my local marine chandlers has some 25mm long. You would need to change the ring connectors on the various cables for ones with bigger holes, but the longer thread available would offer more room for stacking cables.

[@charlesrichards5389]

I was going to suggest cutting some busbars in half, drilling a hole through the end that was cut (basically making "stubby" busbars), and stacking them. But I think I like your idea better.

[@MiguelSilva-mb6mb]

Hi, im looking at you inverter box, and i think you should add some 12V fans to extract hot air. When you close the cabinet you are going to have heat issues. try to add a thermostat to the fans that will start fans when a determined temp is reached. Dont forget to add some intake for fresh air also.

[@petermartin3806]

I love your sense of humour, and the little clips, out takes of your vids excellent. Completely support your comments about banning others supporting each other. Right turning to the Raspberry PI, I followed the instructions on the victron VRM site, it’s excellent, I have my BMV, Mppt, and Orion, even my inverter reports on it, using the VE direct usb cables, ps doesn’t work with VE Bluetooth, just need a Pi with wireless or direct RJ45.

Well spoken Andy! - And for your amusement: actually i sell some solar stuff on ebay - yesterday someone from near cologne (100km away)never seen before came and pick up some stuff, we talked a bit - and then he said " i learned a lot from youtube, for example there is a fanatic German guy in Australia and..." I interupt: "Off Grid Garage!" - He: "YES!!"😳😎😍

[@antniocris9744]

Reading about their Victron controllers they state: Battery Life: intelligent battery management When a solar charge controller is not able to recharge the battery to its full capacity within one day, the result is often that the battery will continually be cycled between a ‘partially charged’ state and the ‘end of discharge’ state. This mode of operation (no regular full recharge) will destroy a lead-acid battery within weeks or months. The Battery Life algorithm will monitor the state of charge of the battery and, if needed, day by day slightly increase the load disconnect level

[@mhelander]

My EpSolar 40A MPPT stopped charging occasionally... After consulting EpSolar fixed my mistake in LiFePO4 settings and now it works great, including stopping charging below freezing... This observed problem in 150/30 MPPT likely doesn't resolve from firmware upgrade... per your measurements its more likely internal current leak messing up whole charging state machine

[@GNiessen]

Thank you for keeping things constructive.

[@JeremyAkersInAustin]

I had a Victron MPPT 150/85 for 2 years that I used with zero issues. After that I upgraded to a MPPT 250/85 because I wanted to re-wire my panels into a higher voltage series configuration. That MPPT 250/85 has been running 2 years as well without a single issue. Is this issue limited to the 150/35 model? I hope Victron takes care of the issue for you. The few times I've had issues with Victron equipment they've taken care of it very quickly. If they offer you an upgrade to the 150/45, just take it. It's overkill, but who cares? if you ever upgrade your solar array you'll have the excess capacity and be ready.

[@valthernielsen3409]

Take a look at the Midnite Solar Classic. I have been running the Classic 150 for over 10 years with nary a problem. It does not have specific Lithium battery settings, but there is a lot of information about how to set it up for that.

I just did my battery terminals and busbars and connectors I just used Scotch-Brite and rubbed off the oxides on all of those surfaces and then wiped them with acetone it really helped out with my battery they're a lot more even now every cell even to a full 14.6 volt charge they're only off by like 7 millivolts

Looking forward to follow your new project with Raspberry Pi. I've just installed and connected that on my work bench. Next mission for me is to run Raspberry Pi with VRM integration and 4G internet connection on 12 volt to be able to move it to my boat. I'm very curious what you are going to do with all USB to TTL Serial Cables.

[@rljzathras]

Many years ago I tried to develop my own MPPT regulator, using synchronous switching. I found the damn design could run in reverse, as a boost regulator, from battery back to solar input. Disconnect the solar, still have 18V (or whatever) sitting there. The fundamental problem being the MOSFETS used as "ideal diodes" were not actually diodes once switched on, and thus back feeding could occur! After a few spectacular MOSFET explosions I gave up and just went and bought one! It does sound like perhaps the 100/35 hardware is of the synchronous topology and prone to do this. Perhaps the software also detects it cannot seem to manage the fake solar input and goes off to Noddy Land. Who knows, but the fundamental electronics could be the cause.

[@OffGridGarageAustralia]

Thanks Dave. They have fixed the problem with a software update a few weeks later. I now have all my gear from Victron and it is flawless. The OTA software updates not only fix problems but also introduce new features, just like in a Tesla 😉

[@houstonfirefox]

This is bizarre indeed! With the solar disconnected, your voltmeter is reading 130v at the solar input terminals of the charge controller. This isn't just a software fluke showing a wrong value through the Victron app but a true, honest-to-goodness reading from an external voltmeter displaying exactly what the bluetooth app is reading - Yikes! I would take a 120v incandescent bulb and put it across those terminals just to see if the darned thing lit up! There is something going on where the charge controller has entered a weird mode where its almost acting like a boost converter, bumping the battery voltage up to a REAL 130v and presenting it to the INPUT terminals which could fry your panels if the amperage is sufficient. Victron has a serious problem with the hardware to start with since fail-safe programming should never, ever allow this type of failure mode (presenting battery x whatever multiplier voltage to the solar input terminals) - they should be completely isolated. I have this very same charge controller (still in the box) and am now reluctant to use it until this gets sorted out. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work! Just say NO to channel trolls lol!

[@marcinl4238]

Hi Andy, I'm looking into building my own Energy Storage System for my house and you channel is actually a very great place to learn and have some fun as well while watching all your mishaps. I know this video is quite old now and probably you have figured it out already but, I noticed that the Victron Charge controller is connected to two paralleled solar panel strings. Maybe that's the cause of the problem? I think the charge controller is optimised for one serial string usage, rather than two parallel ones? The thing with MPPT is that it tracks the max power point and applies load to the panels appropriately. In your config, the parallel connection can mess with the MPPT algorithm, at least that's what I think:). Let me know if this is useful in any way:)

[@chrisfryer3118]

I'd be unhappy if I'd spent top dollar for quality, and it doesn't work. Looking forward to the busbars

If your panels are producing 1300w and the battery voltage is 50v, then about 26amps into the battery.

[@charlesrichards5389]

15:37 Exactly why companies should not block flashing to older firmware. Back in the day, you could "downgrade" most devices to re-enable features you were using (or at least reset to factory settings then choose which version you need) so you could at least get by. The absolute worst are the companies who force-feed updates (Microsoft has drafted the entire planet into being beta-testers, but I digress).

[@wesleyblake8552]

Hi Andy, great video I have the same problem with my 100/50 Victron controller, is there any new update to how you fixed it? and what size cable did you use from your panel to your controller Thanks Wes.

The issue was fixed with the next software update of the controller. I used 16mm cable from the solar combiner box to the MPPTs connecting 2kW of solar.
