The 150/85 is rated for 1200W max in a 12V battery setup. The most I've seen on a clear summer day on the monitor is 760W out of the mounted 855W physically on the roof. That's nearly 90% efficiency and fine with me.
Here's a pic of the '19 100/30 Jaboni vs a 150/85 Victron. They look too similar to say there wasn't some rebranding at the time. The Jaboni branded Battery Monitor display works in the Victron and looks nearly identical except for the branding.

Nice setup. The 85a victron is great. I really like victron because of the open source support and vrm.
