Which Victron products will work on my system?

I have a 500 watt solar panel with 25.78 V and 19.39 A.

1. Would I need a 100/50, 100/40 mppt or a 150/50 mppt?

I will have 2 x 12volt @ 200 AH each lithium batteries and then upgrade to a 3rd battery for a total of 7680WH.

2. Inverter Charger: I am thinking a 12/3000 as I have high items that draw high watts. Up to 1800, eg, hot water heater and induction cooktop.

Does the Multiplus include the charge controller and inverter charger in one? If so, can they be used in a van setup like mine?

3. I would also like to add a b2b charger but not sure which one of your products will be best for my situation. Any links to diagrams would be very helpful. Than you in advance. Deon

500Wp from a single panel!? wow!

1. The 100/50 should be the right one for you.

2. The MultiPlus is a inverter (DC to AC) and charger (AC to DC). Yes it can be used in a van.

3. Orion-Tr Smart is what you need (isolated or not depends on you exact use).

Wiring diagrams are in the manuals.
