Review on ⚡️ Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100V 30A 12/24V Solar Charge Controller with Bluetooth: Efficient Power Optimization by Corey Vaz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well but poor design

Good1. Very heavy fixed device2. The interface of the software is very well written and professional 3. It just works. Very generous settings compared to other devices in its Bad.1 league. The input terminals are so close together that it's very difficult to use sub-10 gauge wires without shorting them out and creating a spark, even if you're careful. I spend an hour driving my 8 gauge which is required for my layout and although I finally made it, they are so close together that I live in constant fear of shorting out. I had to take a sheet of paper and put it between them to make sure they are still not touching, they are so close2. Dear (Welcome to Victron name). This product is solid hardware and would get a full 5 stars from me if it wasn't for those poorly designed terminal inputs. Any monkey responsible for this part of the design should be fired.
