- Is the 150/100 enough for a 48V system?
- Yes. At 48V it can pass roughly 5,800W of PV, so it suits arrays up to about 5.8 kW. Larger arrays need a bigger controller or multiple units.
- Can I mount it outdoors?
- No. It is rated IP22, so mount it indoors or in a dry, sheltered enclosure. Damp locations call for a higher IP-rated model.
- Does it work with lithium batteries?
- Yes. It supports lithium profiles and custom charge settings through the VictronConnect app. Check your battery maker's voltage and current limits first.
- Do I need a separate display?
- No. Bluetooth and the VictronConnect app handle setup and monitoring. A Victron Cerbo or display can be added if you want a fixed readout.
- What is in the box?
- The controller itself with MC4 connectors. Battery and PV cables, fuses and a mounting bracket are not included.
