Went to online link - see below - to see if it works with 450/100/200 regs and it does not work - as soon as the PV VOC exceeds 30V it wigs out so not usable for 450/100 or 450/200 regs

I got into the excell spread sheet - but cant adjust it fr 450/100-200 regs - is there some way I can upload the spread sheet

Your problem are the settings for "VE.Can" and "MC4" remove that and you get a result.

Just do the calculations twice.

The 450/200 is the same as 2x 450/100.

Unprotecting the code won't happen.

Are you sure they're not in there?

They are in the online calculator.

I'll report to Victron for you.

Yes certain - there is no 450/200 in there - have to duplicate 450/100 design and assume its OK

Are you sure you have the latest version 4.0 of the Excel sheet?

Hi @ejrossouw,

The MPPT RS 450/200 will not be added to excel calculator - the 4 trackers adds considerable complexity to the model. It's possible to work around the limitation with the 450/100 twice :)

It is now recommended to use the web based calculator which does include the 450/200.
