MPPT solar charge controller

Could I manage with my Victron MPPT 150/85 solar charge controller with these two solar panel arrays? The battery bank is 12V and 1000Ah

At 13V and 85A that’s 1100W max into the batteries.

At a typical over-subscription of 30% you would want around 1400W of panel.

It you can sustain the 85A it would take 12 hours to charge 1000AH or 6 hours for half.

Looks a bit small for my liking but that depends on how much light you get and for how long.

@nickdb can you help maybe here?


System : Color Control GX, MultiPlus 48/5000/70-100,SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can 150/85 rev2

I want to connect a spare bluesolar mppt 150/85 with new panels for the east side, as my north-west generation only fully performs around 13:30.

Is it possible to connect and "old" bluesolar and smartsolar ve.can together on the same Color Control GX?

Thanks
