Sounds like realizing a dream.
Instead of talking about things we wish and never move forward - like 99.99% of the people do it - Iāve made actions. I did not regret it at all.

Do you have experience with the performance of this one?
If I could find a foldable panel with similar specifications of my existing panels then I could connect it to the system. But only in that case. Am I right?
The folding panel has completely different specifications and would mess up the other panels or turn them upside down.
Connecting too many types of panels in parallel may sound simple and quick ā¦ but it causes problems because the operating point of the MPPT gets completely mixed up.
Yes. I know it. A what about a small difference?
What about to connect this one to my existing system?
These parametersā¦
ā¦are close to my systemās parameters:
If you connect the panel, it may work somehow ā¦ so a clear yes ā¦ BUT ā¦ due to the completely different installation locations and angles, you are hindering the operating point of the Mppt as your roof panels supply different voltages because they are at 90Ā° on the roof.
With an extra Mppt, the panel can work alone without interfering with the other panels.
I would use an extra Mppt ā¦ but thatās just my wish ā¦ 
Eeeerrrā¦wait a minuteā¦1 of the 3 panels is totally out of the otherās angles at the moment as well. Do you think itās hindering the operating point of the MPPT?
Donāt panic ā¦ it would be better if the panels all had the same direction, but of course it also works this way.
If the panels are still in a row, like yours, itās not so bad. Here the voltage just fluctuates depending on the sun.
When connected in parallel, shaded panels can hinder the overall efficiency. There are optimizers for this ā¦ but not an issue for you
We donāt need to talk about the small roof as being worse than it is ā¦ you just have to take the surfaces you have.

A little more sheet metal at the front ā¦ 
Yes ā¦ these are the areas you have ā¦
Weāre kind of getting off topic ā¦ 
Tomorrow or after tomorrow arrives the 100/50 MPPT. Then I will have an extra because the 100/30 will be unemployed. But not for so long becuse I guess you just found a new job for that.
Where the hell will I install that? And how to connect two MPPT together or to the battery?
Men will be men. I canāt help with that.
the mppt is connected as normal and receives the same battery values as the old one ā¦ then together into the smart network and thatās it
Why are the PV cables to the roof at the emergency switch so thick?
Space is still being sought for assembly ā¦
It seems the voltage dropping was never really voltage dropping. With turning around the SmartShunt and using the correct way of cabling solved this problem.
So thank you for alllll of you (I donāt know how to tag people in the forum) for helping me to figure out the issue.
ā¦and a big virtual hug for Steffen for itā:blush:ā¦you knowā¦that squeezing type of hug when you canāt breathe.
But even though this one seems solved, I am a womanā¦so there will be soon more mess and questions for sure.

The last one for today:
A circuit breaker like this would suffice ā¦ less space and in the housing ā¦ maybe you can then use the space for the Mppt ā¦

You mean this second MPPT needs to be connected to the same lynx distributor as well?
Yes, of course. It charges the same battery as no.1
Oki. Will think about it how to do it. Good night.
āAlmostā the same problem from the old āGermanā forum ā¦ as bedtime read 
to connect the old MPPT 100/30 for the new solar curtain, you can use JTS XT60 plugs for the battery side. So you can remove and store the MPTT anywhere. The XT60 is designed for a volatga of 500V DC and continous current of 30 Amps, peak current 60 Amps.
For the PV panels, you can use a flat PV-cable going through a slightly opened window.
Itās not the nicess solution like an outdoor mount point, but a good one for temprory usage.
There are also adpater capble MC4 to XT60. I connemnt not using XT60 for PV panle and for battery connection. It can be mixed up and the pannels directly connected to the battery.
I would put the MPPT 100/30 in a box with two different fast plugable connectors for battery and PV on it.
Hey thereš
About my cablesā¦some voltage drop calculator on the internet said to me to use 16mm2 on 6 m length. And victron allowed me to use this thickness as well so I went for it.
My cables in thesystem is like: Panelās cable 12AWG (4mm2) 
cable to DC isolator 6AWG (16mm2) cable to MPPT 6AWG (16mm2) cable to Lynx Distributor 6AWG (16mm2) from Lynx to battery 2AWG (35mm2), and from Lynx to 1500/3000W pure sine wave inverter 1/0AWG (50mm2)
