Smart Safety– This smart solar panel system monitors weather conditions and takes that information into account when deciding when it should be open and when it should fold together for protection. Victron SmartSolar Charge Controller MPPT-75-10,-75-15,-100-15,-100-20 Features of the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20: Feature highlights One of the best ways to get an understanding of how the cost of a solar panel system compares with others is to break it down to the price per watt (PPW). This reflects how much you are paying based on the production capabilities of the solar panel system. We can use the price for each system before any tax credits or incentives.

Ground-mounted systems are a great alternative to rooftop solar because you can avoid all of the potential limitations that come when installing a rooftop system.

The second feature that makes the SmartFlower special is that it is self-containing. This means that it contains all of the hardware and other components within itself so that it can be easily installed and disassembled. According to the company, installation takes just two or three hours, and it can similarly be uninstalled and moved to a new property in just as much time. The intelligent Load output function prevents damage caused by running batteries ‘flat’. You can configure the voltage at which SmartSolar disconnects a load – thereby preventing excessive drain on your batteries. And here’s the clever bit: SmartSolar will attempt a 100% recharge every day. If it can’t – during periods of poor weather – it raises the disconnect voltage, daily, until it achieves success. We call this feature BatteryLife because it maintains the health, and extends the life of your battery. Smart Cooling– The system includes rear ventilation to keep the module up to 18°F cooler than it would be otherwise. This helps with the solar cell’s efficiency, as solar panels function differently in varying temperatures. For the SmartFlower, this means 5-10% more output on average. Rooftop solar panel systems may need to be customized to account for several variables like roof type and space availability, but with the ground-mounted SmartFlower module, you have the freedom to install the system wherever there is sufficient exposure to sunlight. The unit itself is 194 square feet. At certain times, our installation can produce more energy than we consume, and this energy is injected into the distribution grid. Current regulations stipulate that solar installations of less than 100 kW can use the simplified surplus offsetting method.

The answer to this question depends on what your goals are for your home’s solar energy system. If you care about design and ease of use more than cost-effectiveness, and also do not need to cover all of your energy needs with one system, then the SmartFlower solar panel system can be a good option for you. Lastly, the SmartFlower system has an annual energy output of 3,800-6,200 kWh. With the average US household using 10,800 kWh per year, you can only expect your SmartFlower system to provide you with around 40-60% of your energy needs. SmartFlower Pros and Cons: PROS In this post, we will go over everything you need to know about the SmartFlower solar panel system so that you can make the right decision when going solar. How is SmartFlower different than rooftop solar?

Smart System– Think of the Smartflower as just another internet-connected device. You can access information about your system whenever you have access to the paired mobile app. You can also control the system with this app and engage in other features.

The word ‘smart’ has been thrown in front of thousands of products over the past decade to highlight a range of value. The SmartFlower solar panel system, however, definitely deserves this title.

Victron SmartSolar Charge Controller MPPT-75-10,-75-15,-100-15,-100-20 Features of the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/10: Feature highlights The upgraded SmartFlower +Plus is exactly the same as the base version but includes a battery to store your solar energy. SmartFlower also has the SmartFlower EV designed to directly charge an electric vehicle with solar power. Flexible charge algorithm Fully programmable charge algorithm, and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details). Specification: Simplified surplus offsetting involves the value of the energy you feed into the grid being calculated by your electricity supplier and the resulting value being discounted from the energy section of your bill.When a solar charge controller is not able to recharge the battery to its full capacity within one day, the result is often that the battery will continually be cycled between a ‘partially charged’ state and the ‘end of discharge’ state. This mode of operation (no regular full recharge) will destroy a lead-acid battery within weeks or months. The Battery Life algorithm will monitor the state of charge of the battery and, if needed, day by day slightly increase the load disconnect level (i.e. disconnect the load earlier) until the harvested solar energy is sufficient to recharge the battery to nearly the full 100%. From that point onwards, the load disconnect level will be modulated so that a nearly 100% recharge is achieved about once every week.
