The Victron 100/85 12-24v Mppt Solar Regulator allows the series connection of 2 panels of up to 72 cells.

The Victron 12-24v 100/15 Mppt Solar Regulator has an ultra-fast monitoring of the maximum power point of the photovoltaic panels to get the maximum daily production from your solar installation. It allows the connection of 2 panels in series of up to 72 cells and can operate 24 volt panels in 12 volt systems. The victron 100 15Ah mppt regulator can carry a maximum of 200w of panels in 12 volt systems and 400w in 24 volt systems.

Advantages of a Victron 12-24v 100/15 Mppt Solar Regulator.
There are two types of regulators on the market, maximizers or mppt like victron 100/15 and there are also so-called pwm (pulse width modulation). Mppt regulators have many advantages over pwm and are the recommended option as long as the budget allows.

• In the first place, an mppt regulator allows the series connection of panels, that is, we can enter the regulator at a voltage higher than that of the battery. In this 15Ah victron regulator we have a maximum of 100 volts in open circuit of photovoltaic input, so for example in a 24 volt system we can connect in series two panels of 200w of 72 cells. By being able to enter a higher voltage, we facilitate series connection by reducing the wiring section and minimizing losses due to voltage drop.
• Secondly, with an mppt regulator we obtain more production than with a pwm, the mppt takes advantage of 100% of what the photovoltaic panel produces, obtaining yields of up to 30% higher than pwm. With fewer panels we obtain the same performance as with a pwm regulator and more panels, so the higher investment of the mppt is justified by lowering the investment in the photovoltaic panel. For example, 8 300w panels with a pwm dimmer will perform roughly the same as 6 300w panels with a mppt dimmer.
• Thirdly, we have that the mppt charges more on cloudy days since by connecting panels in series and entering a higher voltage, on cloudy days the mppt will charge earlier thanks to the fact that it will always have enough voltage to exceed that of the battery . In an mppt regulator like the victron we enter 60 volts, if it is cloudy we can go down to 40-50v which is higher than the 24 volts of the system and therefore it will contribute the load produced by the panels. In the pwm we enter 35 volts, so if it is cloudy we can have less than 24 volts at certain times and we cannot exceed the battery voltage and therefore charge.
