Hi folks. Just wanted to follow up on my thread. I bought two MPPT Victron 100/50 controllers from AM Solar here in Eugene, Oregon. I was able to stop by Eugene so this was great. Yes, I paid a modest premium of $80 (total for both) over the "internet" price, but got a sit-down consultation with an expert, printouts of the recommended settings for the controllers AND my Magnum MSH 3013 inverter, plus the manager's business card, whom I could call with questions during my installation, plus installation advice and I did not have to wait.
I'm a fan of AM Solar, even though I know that shop isn't cheap.
As a novice, I installed it all myself, including getting the app on my phone working; a no brainer, and they work GREAT!!!!! The Victrons went onto the board right where the two BZ Products controllers had been, with NO additional wiring or rework - nothing, especially since the Victrons may be monitored using a simple app for my iPhone!
I'm just getting around to testing the Victrons, so I ran my bank down a couple hundred amp hours last night, and I'm pulling in 16 amps (total) and it's not even 9am yet; these things are great.
Now, I'd have gone with the Midnight Solar Classic 150 if I had not been already wired up for a stacked system, but love these little 100/50s.
