Parallel smart MPPT 75/15 - load output master or all

Hello all,

For my setup I have gone with running 3 (yes, lol) smart MPPT 75/15's (due to different orientation and panel sizes so they can cover my entire van roof)

I have read that they will work nicely in parallel after being linked via bluetooth and the BMV 712 smart monitor/shunt to coordinate them). It seems difficult to see info on what to do with the load outputs. I am wondering if I just select one to be the load output "master", or if I need to link all three of them to my load?

Any additional reading and info is most appreciated,

thanks!

Paralleling the outputs would be very tricky. It'll be difficult to match all the wiring to ensure that current sharing is equal over all of the outputs.

I was thinking that as well. I guess i just make one have the output and the others don't get to be an output.


Cheers!

Use the load output of one MPPT to trigger a bigger relay or BatteryProtect if your load needs more than 15A.
