This fitted solar charging system adds two Alvolta Eclipse MAX 240W monocrystalline solar panels and a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 charge controller to a compatible Fuso or Isuzu dual-cab vehicle.
The two panels provide a combined rated solar capacity of 480W and are professionally mounted to a compatible roof rack or roof-mounting arrangement. The solar array is connected through dedicated in-line solar fuses to the Victron SmartSolar MPPT, which regulates the higher panel voltage into the appropriate charging voltage for a compatible 12V or 24V battery system.
The completed installation can be configured to charge a compatible main battery bank or auxiliary battery bank, depending on the vehicle and its electrical arrangement. Mounting, electrical connection, MPPT configuration and operational testing are completed by AAV4x4 at our Brendale workshop.
The system uses two Alvolta Eclipse MAX 240W fixed solar panels, providing a combined rated solar capacity of 480W under standard test conditions.
Each panel contains 132 monocrystalline 182mm solar cells and provides module efficiency of up to 22.7%. The two panels increase the available solar collection area while retaining a relatively narrow individual panel width of 770mm for integration with compatible dual-cab roof layouts.
Actual solar production will vary according to available sunlight, shading, panel temperature, vehicle orientation, cleanliness and other environmental conditions.
Each Alvolta Eclipse MAX panel has a maximum rated output of 240W and measures 1615 x 770 x 35mm. The panels use anodised aluminium frames, IP65-rated junction boxes and pre-wired 900mm output cables with MC4-style connectors.
Each panel has the following published electrical performance:
The panels are connected through the solar charge controller rather than directly to the battery bank. The completed array configuration is arranged to remain within the photovoltaic input limits of the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50.
Each panel contains 132 monocrystalline 182mm cells arranged in a 4 x 33 configuration. Module efficiency of up to 22.7% allows each panel to provide a 240W rating from its 1615 x 770mm surface area.
The narrow panel format assists with positioning two panels on a compatible dual-cab roof rack while allowing for the available vehicle roof area and other installed equipment.
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 regulates power from the two solar panels for charging a compatible 12V or 24V battery bank. It automatically detects the battery-system voltage and provides a rated charging current of up to 50A.
MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking. The controller continually adjusts the operating point of the connected solar array to obtain the available solar energy as sunlight, shading and panel temperature change.
The controller then converts the incoming solar power into the voltage and current required by the connected battery system.
The SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 automatically selects operation for a compatible 12V or 24V battery system. Its published nominal photovoltaic power capacities are:
The fitted 480W solar array remains within the controller’s published nominal photovoltaic power capacity for either supported battery voltage.
The final battery connection and charging configuration are selected according to the vehicle’s main or auxiliary battery bank and the charging requirements of the installed batteries.
The Victron SmartSolar controller uses a multi-stage adaptive charging algorithm. It automatically progresses through the appropriate charging stages to recharge and maintain the connected battery bank.
Charging voltages and operating settings are configured to suit the battery system installed in the vehicle.
Built-in Bluetooth allows the SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 to connect directly to the VictronConnect app on a compatible device. VictronConnect can be used to configure the controller, monitor current operation and review stored solar-production information.
Available information includes:
The controller stores trend information for up to 46 days and also includes a VE.Direct port for connection to compatible Victron monitoring equipment.
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 incorporates electronic protection for:
The controller provides its full rated output at ambient temperatures up to 40°C and reduces output when required to protect against excessive internal temperature.
The installation includes two 15A MC4-compatible in-line solar fuse connectors, providing one dedicated fuse connection for each solar panel circuit.
The MC4-compatible male and female connections allow the fuse holders to be integrated into the solar cabling between the panels and the associated MPPT input circuit.
A 30A MIDI fuse and dedicated MIDI fuse holder are included as part of the battery-side electrical installation. These components provide overcurrent protection for the associated charging circuit.
The final cable sizes, fuse arrangement and connection points are determined by the completed vehicle and battery-system configuration.
A battery isolator on/off switch is included to provide a dedicated means of isolating the installed circuit. The supplied isolator is rated at 275A at 12V and incorporates a removable control knob.
The isolator allows the relevant circuit to be switched off for inspection, servicing or electrical-system isolation.
A 25mm nylon cable gland is installed to provide an organised cable-entry point for routing the solar wiring through the appropriate roof, roof rack or vehicle structure.
The final cable-entry location depends on the vehicle, panel position, roof-rack configuration and available internal cable route.
Each solar panel uses a 35mm-deep anodised aluminium frame and an IP65-rated junction box. The published operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.
The panel temperature coefficients are:
This solar charging system is professionally fitted by AAV4x4 at our Brendale workshop. Installation includes:
The final panel positions, cable routes and electrical connection depend on the vehicle, available roof space, roof-rack configuration and existing battery system.

This is a fitted solar charging system for compatible Fuso and Isuzu dual-cab vehicles. Final fitment depends on the vehicle, available roof space and the existing roof rack or mounting arrangement.
The two panels must be connected in a configuration that remains within the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 maximum photovoltaic input voltage. Each panel has an open-circuit voltage of 89.6V, while the controller has a maximum photovoltaic open-circuit voltage of 100V.
The solar array must remain connected through the Victron MPPT and must not be connected directly to the battery bank.
Do not add further panels or alter the array wiring without first confirming the resulting voltage, current and power against the limits of the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/50.
Actual solar generation varies with sunlight intensity, shading, panel temperature, panel orientation and other operating conditions. The 480W figure represents the combined rated output of the two panels under standard test conditions.
