June 9, 20215 yr We installed a solar system at our office about 3 months back. Running a total of 48x415W Canadian Sun Panels. 4x Victron 250/100 MPPT controllers 1x Victron Quattro 48/10000/140 6x PylonTech US3000C batteries. We want to add either another 6x US3000C batteries and keep the 2 banks the same, or add 6x UP5000 batteries. Now my question is. The 2 different models has different charging rates and discharging rates. Is it worth mixing the 2 sets, or do you recommend we keep it the same? Will the UP5000 be under utilised as of it’s a US3000C? Keep in mind they all connect to the MPPT controllers and inverter via a DC BUS BAR
June 9, 20215 yr Have also been considering a similar implementation. But the limited info I found seemed to suggest that the UP5000 did not have the extended warranty? from 5 to 10 years if you registered? compared to the US3000c. Also If I recall correctly the UP5000 was not compatible with the US3000 or US3000c? However the US5000 product is fairly new in the market and i am not sure these answers are correct? Lets see what the experts advise..
