Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100/20

Victron Energy SmartSolar charge controller MPPT 100/20. Unboxing and review.
This is a mega quality solar charger. My favorite brand.
Later in the new video I will record the installation in a river boat.

No music please.

[@SaroeurnDIY]

It’s really nice product, I used to installed it before. Thanks for sharing

[@HouseMastersTools]

Bravo Majstore , dobro odrađeno 🍻

[@electro_solar]

Hvala :)

What’s the music? I don’t understand what you are saying

[@MatzeMaulwurf]

I'm using one of those (exact Modell) to charge my Battery in my Camper Van (R/V). I have a standard 330W Peak Module on the roof and this charger charges the main Battery. Very good Charger. Nice App.

Everything is great from Victron :)

[@bexraphaela]

I really love this video, it show everything i need to know, thanks 🙏🏼

[@electro_solar]

Thanks

[@paulswoodshop395]

Nice video. I am going to get some Victron's in the near future.

[@electro_solar]

Tnx, yeah Victron products are pure perfection! Just try it :)

[@igorkvachun3572]

Yes👍 ⚡🔌💡🔋

[@photog1529]

What size wire are you using at the Victron battery connections? I have the same controller, and when I used ferrules on 10AWG stranded wire the ferrules wouldn't fit into the Victron. In my opinion, the terminals on the Victron are pretty anemic.

[@electro_solar]

I use 10 awg. Terminals are great. Its rated for max 10 awg. Try to use rounded crimp tool for awg 10.

[@davebruessow6842]

10 gauge CCA will not fit without breaking strands (making it sloppy). If you use pure copper (THHN or PV wire) it will be smaller in diameter and you can even "tin" the ends with solder making an even stronger connection...

Hi there! can you use one of this with a no hybrid (regular on grid) inverter? Thanks

[@electro_solar]

Yes you can

[@johnmanatt5829]

I’m using the SmartSolar 100/20 Controller and a 200 w mono solar panel to charge 8 6volt deep gel cell batteries. When I connect all wires I get a yellow light instead of a blue light. Initially when I connect the the last wire it lights up blue until I tighten it in place and the light changes to yellow. What does yellow indicate and shouldn’t the light be blue for a regular charge?

[@electro_solar]

Hi sorry for my late replay. U can read here all what u need, it is very well explained. Green led - Float, Yellow led - Absorption and Blue led - Bulk. community.victronenergy.com/questions/63640/charging-bulk-absorption-and-float.html

[@adassociates8235]

Will it be hook up to same system with Renogy DC DC charger? As the Renogy won’t be able to run solar panels in series/parallel. Thanks

[@electro_solar]

U can connect it.

[@sketcheddraftingdesign6093]

What is the largest size cable that would fit into the battery and PV terminals ? Would 8 B&S fit ?

[@electro_solar]

I'm not 100% sure but I think it can be 8

[@daves543]

I just installed two 100-20's on two different campers and used 10 gauge wire to go from the solar panel to the Victron and between the Victron and the battery . The stranded 10 gauge wire won't fit in the4 terminals even when twisted really tight. I used a 10 to 12 gauge reducer crimped onto the 10 gauge wire and it fit good.

Pozdrav. Imam jedno pitanje. Sa elektronikom nisam baš na ti. Imam Allpowers SP033 200W prenosni solarni panel. Njegove specifikacije su: Open circuit voltage 22,2V, Short circuit current 12A, Power voltage 18V, Power curent 11A. Je li mi za punjenje 12V 100ah lifepo4 akumulatora treba ovaj 100/20A mptt kontroler ili mogu uzeti i njihov mptt 75/15A?

[@electro_solar]

Pozdrav, 75/15 regulator podrzava po njihovim specifikacijama panel do 220W tako da bez problema se moze spojiti taj panel na 75/15 blue solar ili smart solar.

[@ZokiG]

@@electro_solar hvala na odgovru. Planoram uzeti smart solar zbog mogućnosti spajanja preko BT

[@electro_solar]

Najbolji izbor za male sisteme. Nema na cemu.

[@juanpabloolivachipolina]

Hello; I have an E-essential Flat 130 Watts Inovtech Monocrystalline solar panel, and a Power Battery 12v 130 ah slow discharge Battery Lead Calcium Technology. Can you please tell me which Victron regulator model would fit, for this setup. Thank you.

[@electro_solar]

Hi, u can use SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 from Victron. www.victronenergy.com/solar-charge-controllers/smartsolar-mppt-75-10-75-15-100-15-100-20

[@juanpabloolivachipolina]

Merci

[@HansKeesom]

Yep this is the goto MPPT for me. It can do 12/24/48 volt batteries and is the largest that has it's own load port. Wicked. That it is Victron speaks for itself, no other brand in my systems ;-)

[@electro_solar]

Yeah, best for me

[@alexanderstrelow3521]

Hi and thank you for the video. I am willing to buy this charge controller for my two Solar panals to charge a 12v battery. My panels do have 550 watts each and in series they will have ~80v at ~18 ampre. My question is: how much watt of my 1150 max will I be able to youse charging a 12v? Does this only run at 290 watts or can I use everything that is being currently producee?

[@electro_solar]

You can use full power. Charge more batteries. If i understand your question correctly?

[@alexanderstrelow3521]

@@electro_solar Hi, thanks for your reply. After some research I will maybe use 2 12v batteries to have a 24v system. As per manual maximum watt allowed is 580 I think. Since my system will not have more than the 100/20 I just want to make sure that even if 580 watts are exceeded (1100 In theory...) It will just block at 580 and will not burn or something :D I could also use just one panel to make sure but if there is less sun having a higher peak power is quite nice.

[@FandFcustomcarts]

The highest watts is for a 48v battery set up

[@Supanova70]

Questtion on this MPPT controller. I hae 2 house to start batteries on my boat. Got to the boat and app said they were floating. Showed 20v from 2 100 watt panels 0 amps. When my boat is running my battery monitor shows -1.59 amp draw? Why? The voltage is 14.8 from motors. Shunt is installed correct to a neg bus bar. All house loads are off during readings. This also has a ACR

[@electro_solar]

Something is taking 1.59 amps for sure. U use victron smart shunt? U can alsoo contact me trough email, find it here on my chanel. I can try to help you.

[@myresonance8013]

Would I be able to run x2 160watt panels with the 100/20 brother ?!??

[@electro_solar]

Yes u can, u have alsoo their calculator and data sheet for every product.

Hi is there a way to wire this so it charges leisure battery and the vehicle battery

Of course, the options are limitless :)

At the moment I've used the load positive to the starter battery, is that the correct way

It can be: - charger temperature too high - charger over-current - charger or panel over-voltage - VE.Smart networking or BMS issue - internal error, calibration issue, settings data lost or current sensor issue
