Thank you for sharing it's my first time here I have just bought two pieces of victron equipment and so far I'm loving it but I would like to expand my knowledge can you do a video of all the different gear

Can you ever go to big of an MPPT Besides being overkill would there be a point where it hurts the charging?

"Torque it to spec" -so what Are those specifications? How tight? Or where do I find that info? Thank you!

Good walkthrough. Gave me the confidence to pull the trigger. Helps that you have em in stock!

Thank you! Very helpful

VICTRON seems to be falling behind the times I actually feel hobbled with a 250 volt "DC" input limit ( much <less 150 volts "DC" ) Victron prices are too >HIGH and serviceability is impossible due to VICTRON GLUING / MELTING the BLUE Plastic "LID" to the Internals to prevent viewing the internals ( FUSES ) etc IMHO COOP ...

Great vid - keep it up!

Are the mounting brackets exactly 90 degrees, or are they slightly more angled to accommodate the roof angle where mounting?

This is an awesome rack and a great company. In the spirit of community and trying to make this better here are some hopefully constructive criticisms. This video is exactly like the directions; lots of detail on the simple and mundane and completely gloss over any useful detail. All you need to successfully install this rack is an understanding of how many pieces are used and which hardware goes with what. The packaging, instructions and the video all ignore this important fact and actually steer you the wrong way. - The screws that come in the hardware kit with 8020 adapter don't fit with the spacing on the rail. You need to use the screws in the side rail kit (which is pretty straightforward but mine did not have the right number of screws). And why put screws in the 8020 adapter box that don't work? - The number of 8020 adapters in the drawing and documentation don't match the actual application (159 Ext). They sent 10 towers and 10 8020 adapters and the 159 EXT which is the largest application only needs 8. (This was my fault. Apparently I don't have any EXT van) - They have four custom pieces of hardware that are slightly different than the other pieces that they look exactly alike. They come in the same package as the normal parts and there is zero differentiation on the part itself or in the instructions on how to identify or use them. - The wind faring brackets do not look anything like the documentation or the video (Mine have 1 notch or nothing vs 3 & 2 in the doc and video). You just need to play with the angles until you get it right. - The bottom line is there needs more meaningful direction to this kit; rather than a blueprint with a wild numbering scheme (that was un-readable by me) a simple 1-page walk through of the 3 or 4 critical points with photos of a successful result would have been a game changer. The documentation and videos do a great job of explaining that you don't wanna mess this up, but there's almost no practical application or directions on what to do. A drawing or photo of the complete tower including orientation on the van would have been enough for me to match the right hardware and reverse engineer the install. And why use vague language, loose versioning, and jump between what you might have been shipped with what is coming soon? How does this fit with what I have in my hand? Now I'm really confused... If they would've taken the time to lay out the five key parts and explain how they went together this whole install could be done on one page. Update: I talked to the shop and these guys are awesome. I told them about my mistakes and the install frustrations and the issue with the hardware. As expected, they are going to address these issues and make everything right. In that spirit I updated my comments above and I am going to make an install video that hopefully illustrates what I would've found useful and who knows maybe we can all work together to make this process a little better because this is a super sweet rack and a great company. Go buy their stuff!

I am biulding a 12 volt 600 solar array with 3-100 ah lithium batteries which will be better for me Please sir

Hello thank you for sharing currently on the Schneider Electric guy but I've always really want it victron I'm running a 24-volt system my question for victron charge controllers is how was a customer to know how many watts he can attach to the specific charge controller does it have it on the unit say like 12-volt battery you can have X amount of watts and then 24 volt you can have double the amount of watts and so on

Can you reccomend anything that will handel the HOT🔥Desert temp 117, I got ten of the 320w panels on roof, off grid, need something that will take the watts and heat, what is best 12, 24, 48v? ,,thanks

I just bought three solar panels, 100W and 18Vx6.5A each to charge my Anker 757 power station. Also I chose Mppt 75 10, the junior model, as Anker accepts only 30V 10A input, I based my estimate on serial connection of the panels, getting no more than 60V and 7A then. But, when trying to charge with Lifepo4 setting and 12 or 24V, the solar controller just showing bulk for a minute or so with 160 to 215W max, after which all goes down to nearly zero charge on the station, and I can't get the reason. Is there any settings that I missed to check?

Orion is something totally diffrent than a blue solar or smart solar. Settings from a blue solar are programmed through a VE direct port. not the way you showed in your video. Better take this video down as it is wrong.

I am inbetween converting from lead acid to LiFePo batteries. Can I use a Victron Smart solar MPPT 100/50 to drive a Victron Orion isolated DC to DC convertor to charge two 12v batteries, one being a 100A Pb Marine battery, and the other a LiFePo 12v 200A battery, that eventually go to 2 separate inverters, one for only lights, and the other for powering fridges?

Victron brand inverters has by far the worst AC ports in the RV industry. Been Working full Time for 5 years in the industry atm and I wouldn't recommend buying these products. Buy Kisae or even Renogy has better AC ports than Them its a shame.

I currently have a 12 volt system with a 230ah lithium battery, a 200 watt Renogy panel suitcase with the included Renogy 20 amp pwm controller. Currently 200 watts seem to be sufficient for my camping needs but want the ability to expand my system later down the road, maybe 400 watts of panels. I was thinking of getting a victron 100/30 or 100/50. If i get one of those would my current 200 watts of panels cause a problem because of lower input into the controller. Is there a minimum on these controllers to be effective. Thanks.

Although the 75/15 would more than support my RV, the input terminals will not take any wire larger than 10ga. That is something you need to know. The solar and battery wiring in most RVs is 8ga. 8ga is significantly larger than 10ga so you will need to be prepared to step it down properly.

The new install video. 😊 Nice. I figured something was different between the new manual and the original video. I’m very happy with my rack. So, the last foot support is supposed to have a bonded washer on the inside and outside? I only received one bonded washer for each rear foot and a plain rectangle, non bonded washer I assumed was for the inside???

Its good sor sump pump back up or its to much ? I have a ½ hp red lion 5.1 amp whit peak of 10amp. I will plug it whit a groupe 31 deep cycle battery

Save money, go for the Easy Solar version.

Can you see any reason to connect the Orion XS to my CerboGX if my setup is Truck/5th Wheel? I'll never be able to see power input while driving, but I guess I could have my wife monitor it via the phone app.

Hello i bougt wrong panel a 36v 200w panel can i use the 75/15 controller to charge a 12v battery ??

Loose connection is prime. Second is incorrect order of assembly, washers do NOT go between lugs and bussbars. Last, is undersized conductors for the demands.

Very good explanation about the volt/amp rating. I have been looking for clarity on the amps side.

Thanks do you need the new version of the ALP with electric start/stop for this to work with the Victron setup? I have the older ALP 1000

thank you!! worked like a charm

TweNNy, thirDy and fourDy... the dumb version of the English language

Thanks for a good no-nonsense video.... Short chinese ferrules can be a common & tricky one to diagnose. Also worth mentioning is the limited range / connectivity of the Cerbo Bluetooth. There are some real cheap plug in Bluetooth Dongles recommended by Victron that are worth mentioning to your customers that use Ruuvi Temperature senses etc etc.... Thanks again. New Sub :)

👏👏👏

If the battery is too cold, send the electricity from the charger to a battery heater with a thermostat to control the temp.

Really helpful information! Thanks!

Is the victron energy multiPlus II 12/3000/120-50 a split phase system?

So now i have the 100/30 running 400 watts of solar . But i want to go up to 1000 watts of solar panels and two lithium batteries. Is the 100/50 going to be strong enough fot that?

I have a Victron energy multi plus 24v 3000 70 amp. I’m wanting to connect my phone what do I need also what else would I need for solar panels please?

do you have any that are plug and play they seem complicated without the yfi

Can you place the crossbars as desired? I do not have a wind faring but I would prefer to have one of my cross bars connecting the at the back of the van vs the directions saying to put it at the front of the van. This is because I want to install something on my roof to connect at the back of the van with the crossbar and not at the front.

What happens if you do mount the end caps with too much torque and strip out the holes...? (I have done this already by mistake)

Would be helpful with directions included.

Hi im looking at getting the victron 100/20 to run a 100w panel and 100ah lifepo4 battery, it will be used mainly to run a compressor fridge when camping. Do you know if you can set the output to cut off at a certain low voltage and turn on again when a certain voltage is reached? I dont want to kill my new battery by running it too low. Thanks

Great video, like to see how you wired the generator.

Great vid! what are the torque specs for the roof rack bolts? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

My older model inly draws 10A, is this simply because the alternator is not pushing enough amps?

Hi, why not mention the types of batteries it supports?

Cool. That’s why I’m waiting to have y’all do this for me till I’m ready to retire. Technology is moving fast and they are making things smaller and more efficient. I only have a little over 2 years left 😊 so let’s thanks the aliens 👽 for this great technology 😂

Very nice and innovative video !! It would appreciated to have a video about the detail configuration of this setup. Thank You Very Much!!

Anywhere avaialable in the EU ? love the roofrack what brand is this?

4:32 For testing purposes only, I am glad you made it, it was a nail bitter to the end.

Will you guys make a dual fuel NG/Propane models?

Hopefully Victron will update their line-up. Its a real mess. Their charge controllers are awesome, the pure inverters (the phoenix line) are quite good too. But the DC-to-DC chargers, the DC-to-DC converters, and their inverter-chargers are all just way out of date. The inverter-chargers are solid units for what they do, and the warranty is great, but the technology is just way too old. For example, their 48V multiplus II doesn't even have split-phase output. To be honest, I'd use an EG4 6000XP over a Victron multiplus II for 48V.
