Rooftop Solar on Factory Rack

Yes, Setting 2 is the default, and likely correct choice. I’ll see what Victron say.
I’m interested to hear because looking on line from different manufacturers it seems you can charge anywhere between 14.3v and 14.7v. I had a message back from my dealers and they said to charge the batteries on the regular setting.

I’ve just ordered my solar setup gear. 1 x 270 watt Photonic universe semi flexible solar panel.. 1x Victron 100/20 mppt controller and all the associated bits and pieces. The solar panel will be stuck on top of my Alucab roof. I went for the smaller Victron charge controller as I’m tight for space in the battery box. It’s has a maximum capacity of 290 watts so good enough for the size solar panel I’ve ordered. I’m going to fuse either side of the controller using maxi fuse holders.
 
Seems Victron support is well hidden behind non-phone communication. I submitted support ticket.

Here is the active screen showing voltages.

In hindsight I could have used the 100/20 but didn’t have a good feeling on how much solar I will need or use. I also fused the controller from both sides.
