Sailing Vlog 30 Victron 100/30 Solar Charger Upgrade

I was wrong. You were right. Now let's fix this with a new 100v 30amp solar charger. Victron 100/30 solar charger with 400 watts of solar.
Thanks for Watching!

We are following behind you in your path all the way from Pensacola around FL, now up to Beaufort, NC continuing north to haul out because it *is* hot down the coast this far. So your series is really interesting and topical. Planning Bahamas in Dec.

Thanks for the info and video.
I was going to order a controller and would have made the same mistake!!

Glad I could help!

Smart upgrade but keep the 75-15 as a backup!

I am reading a lot about solar charging; it is so cool; uses a lot of simple math and time of day and angle of sun etc. very interesting subject.

[@TheFosterJourney]

It's very interesting for sure! 👍

[@squarepeginaroundhole2212]

Excellent video as always. I like the lights.

[@TheFosterJourney]

Thanks 👍 🙏

A cheaper and better solution would have been just get another 75/15 controller and split port/starboard panels to separate controllers. Then if you get any shading one one side you will have better output.

That's a great alternative!
