Is this Charge Controller Sized Correctly?

Is this Charge Controller Sized Correctly?

Hello,

Getting Ready to set up some solar for my Van. I already have the Solar Panels, and am ready to buy the Charge Controller. Just wanted to run in by you all to verify If the one I have selected is sized appropriately.

I have 12x Renology 100D-s Panels (https://www.renogy.com/template/files/Specifications/RNG-100D-S_spec.pdf)

Battery (not bought Yet, but will be 12V Lithium Bank)

Panels will be Wired 6 Parallel Sets of 2 Panels in series.

Here is the charge Controller That I was thinking (100/50 Model): https://www.victronenergy.com/solar-charge-controllers/smartsolar-100-30-100-50#pd-nav-image

If someone could assist with helping me verify if this charge controller is large enough, that would be Awesome!!

Edit: I'll Initially have 12 Panels, but I'd also like to size with ability to Add one more Parallel set (of two Panels in Series) I believe I will have room.

Edit2: Thanks for everyone's input so far! Charge Controller is too small, unless I were to utilize more than one controller, otherwise would either need to go to higher voltage battery bank and or larger controller.

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav

GAEA Research demonstrates their new energy technology called RSET. It sets the benchmark in high density, clean energy generation. Chief Scientist, Nigel C. Cheese, states the device collects Background Stellar Radiation via a RPP (Radiant Power Panel) offering compatibility to traditional devices.
