Hi all
would this panel setup pose a long-term risk on the 150/35? Voltage is still within limits, but Amps is higher. I understand that the MPPT would limit to 35A - but would running a higher current pose a risk of damaging the MPPT in the long-term?
Thanks, wolfandy
From the Blue Solar MPPT 100/35 manual:
1a) If more PV power is connected, the controller will limit input power.
From the VictronConnect manual:
Max charge current
Allows the user to set a lower maximum charge current.
5 degrees C is minimum temperature you can have there?
Even so, 147.5V is quite close to the maximum limit (150V). I would be more worried about this.
What is the actual VOC of that PV panel?
Yeah, I live in Cape Town and that's about as cold as it gets here in winter. And that's also night-time temp. During the day it is around 13-16 degrees (@13deg it would be 143.9V)
VOC of the panel is 46.2V
Unfortunately your low temps are out of range..
You might want to re-work your Voc calculations..
