We have installed 1200 watts of solar what size of controller do we need?

It depends on a couple of things, what is the voltage of the solar panels and how are you going to string them together, in series or parallel. If they are 12v panels and you string them in series you will have 144v at 8amps so the 150v 60a will work. In parallel it would be 12v 100 amps. Try to get the voltage up to save on wire size costs. Check WireSizer

How much space in needed around it?

None, really, since it has its own cooling fins on the bottom. However, for practical purposes, you'll want to think about how you are going to run wires to and from it and how big those wires are (and, therefore, how easy it will be to bend them around something else).

Who is responsible for shipping these? I ordered the 150/60, but you shipped me the 100/30.

Look in your order history, click into the order details page for the unit, and it will show who it was sold by, and whether it was shipped from the seller or FBA. If it was seller-fulfilled, reach out to the seller; if it was fulfilled by Amazon, reach out to Amazon.

Good value for money and reliable.

Victron chargers are quality products. I have half a dozen of various sizes running off grid sites throughout the valley and they all just work. The Bluetooth makes checking their statuses very easy.

Feature packed MPPT

When I opened the package this charger controller looked and felt like a sturdy and quality product. When I connected it however there was absolutely no charge going to the batteries despite the controller getting input voltage from the solar panels. After days of troubleshooting and frustration I discovered that the black jumper wire was loose. Tightened that screws and the controller started working like it should. Been working great since. The Bluetooth connectivity is an amazing feature. Being able to get the readings from an app is amazing especially the 30 day report which lets you keep track and compare the daily performance of the solar system. On good days I get over 2KW from 2 x 300 watt (total 600 watts) solar panels. It also tells you how long of each stage (bulk, adsorption, float etc) daily. I have Battleborn lithium batteries and was able to program the parameters right from my phone. Pretty convenient to connect and monitor the controller from inside your house. Only downside is everything you open the app it has to reconnect. It’s pricey but worth it. Victron is a reliable and quality brand.

Very heavy duty and works great

This is a replacement for a blue sky charge controller i was using in my RV. This thing is built like a tank and very heavy duty. It was very easy to install and works great for over a month so far. The Bluetooth and corresponding app are awesome to be able to check my solar history from my phone and i also bought the plug in meter so i can also see exactly what’s happening at a glance. I liked this so much that i bought 2 more for my solar powered work trailer. My only regret is not having upgraded to this sooner.

Horrible Customer Service!

Worked flawlessly for 7 months. Woke up Monday morning and blue flashing light and no power going to battery. Contacted Amazon and they gave me a Victron contact link. Sent email and 3 days later no response. Sent second email finally got a reply that they cannot help me and contact local distributor. I called, no answer, called back 3 hours later and again, no answer. Called 2 hours later, no answer. I then decided to leave a message, didn’t want to do this because I wanted to speak to a live person. It has now been 48 hours since I left my message and again, no reply as of now

It's Victron and it works extremely well

Everything made my Victron has been excellent. Their products have worked very well in my RV electrical system and when it came time to add solar panels to my RV, Victron was the only one I looked at. This has VE.DIRECT port on it so I was able to purchase that cable and integrate it into my Cerbo GX device to get a full picture of all incoming and outgoing power. Very versatile, easy to install, configure, and update firmware via the Bluetooth. Highly recommend.

Good product

Easy to use and set up. I wish it had wifi instead of Bluetooth. Use the sight to find the correct one for your solar system.
