SmartSolar MPPT and Tigo Optimizer

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a solution to put some Tigo optimizer on each solar panel.
My customer’s solar installation is 3 strings with one Mppt per string. All strings dedicated to storage.
I’ve read a lot of topics on differents forum and each time the answer is the same: issue between Victron SmartSolar Mppt and Tigo optimizer.

Thanks in advance.

Imho : No.

Apart from optimisers being explicitly stated as unsupported in the manuals, there are also many historical posts available via search, on this subject, here and on the archive (use google to find).

Hi,

Ok.
Can you tell me which brand of optimizer is compatible with Victron SmartSolar MPPT regulators?

None officially. The victron manual literally states not to use them.

Just if you do insist on using them find ones that don’t have mpp trackers in them, that maybe just have the rapid shutdown or the bypass feature for shading.
But simply put if you do use them you are on your own for tech support. And possibly could void a warranty.

Do not use solar panels with optimizers. In worst case, the use of optimizers will cause irreparable damage to the solar charger.

Straight from the manual…
