Victron 100/15

Victron 100/15 - can I use mismatched panels (130W and 64W) in parallel? Voc 22,1 and 23,8.

Should be fine will get about 190w at ~ 11amps.

How exactly have you come to that number?

I’d hazard it’s a guess :person_shrugging:

Hi! Is the maximum incoming amperage calculated from Voc/Isc or Vmp/Imp values?

From experience, the voltages aren’t matched, so I would expect at least a 2-3% inefficiency and not the 194W. I have a 200w panel with a similar voltage I get about 12amps out of the panel with edge clipping so there is no chance the 15 amps is going to be exceeded but it’s possible you might see over 10 so the 100/15 is a better match.

This is my 200w panel when its sunny and the panel is hot get about 12.6A max into the battery 160w to 170w.

If I get a few clouds it will get about 15amps when the sun comes out.
