Robust and fast MPPT regulator for demanding conditions with panel voltage up
to 100V, maximum charging current 20 A. Battery 12 / 24V / 48, PV max 290/580 /
1160Wp. Full warranty 5 years. Integrated bluetooth. As proof of the high
quality of all MPPT controllers, Victron Energy provides an extended full 5-year
warranty. Victron Energy MPPT solar controllers are among the absolute world
leaders in this field. It offers ultra-fast MPPT monitoring, which ensures the
maximum possible solar gains. Especially in cloudy weather with frequent changes
in exposure intensity, solar gains are 30% higher compared to conventional PWM
controllers or 10% higher compared to slower MPPT controllers. The maximum power
of solar panels is 290 Wp for 12 V systems, 580 Wp for 24 V systems and 1160 Wp
for 48 V systems. If these values ?are exceeded, the controller will not be
damaged, but will only automatically reduce the incoming power from the panels
to acceptable values. The solar controller is factory preset and there is
usually no need to make major adjustments to the settings. The maximum no-load
voltage (referred to as Voc) of the connected solar panels must not exceed 100V
(attention: the voltage of the solar panels increases with decreasing outdoor
temperature). The maximum short-circuit input current of the PV modules must not
exceed 20A, otherwise permanent damage may occur. Check the correct choice of
your BlueSolar / SmartSolar controller according to the parameters of the
photovoltaic field in our configurator here. The new range of SmartSolar MPPT
controllers offers built-in Bluetooth This new feature brings the ability to
connect your smart phone / tablet to your smart solar controller. You can
monitor many system parameters and historical statistics for the last 30 days.
You also have the option of setting operating parameters. You can also download
the VictronConnect app for free on Google Play or in the App Store. If you want
to do the above using a PC, then you have the option to use a VE.direct to USB
cable to connect the controller and PC. Internal electronic components are
protected by a resin coating against adverse effects and for long life. It thus
offers increased IP43 protection for electronic components and IP22 for
connection connectors. Designed for vertical positioning on a non-flammable
surface, with wiring from below. The controller contains an internal temperature
sensor for appropriate adjustment of the charging voltage. Adaptive three-stage
charging: 1. Bulk, 2. Absorption and 3. Float. Initially, fast charging
generates high current and lower voltage to quickly charge a discharged battery.
This phase is followed by a constant voltage with decreasing current to fully
charge the battery without dangerous overcharging, reducing battery life. A
charged battery is kept charged with very low current and low voltage. If the
battery voltage drops below 13.2 V, for example due to a load, a new charging
cycle is started. The voltage from the panels must exceed the battery voltage by
5 V for the controller to start working and charge the battery. The controller
charges until the voltage from the panels is 1 V higher than the battery
voltage. For a 12 V battery, we recommend panels with a minimum number of 32
cells and a maximum number of 108 cells (panels in series). It is therefore
possible to charge a 12 V battery as well as panels with a working voltage of 24
V. For 24 V systems, we recommend panels with a minimum number of 72 cells and a
maximum number of 108 cells. The purpose is to achieve sufficient voltage for
efficient and full battery charging. The solar controller has a DC output for
powering the DC load. The DC output voltage is equal to the battery voltage. So
if you have, for example, a 12V battery - we can supply a 12V load on the DC
output. The maximum DC output current is 20A for a 12V battery, 20A for a 24V
battery and 1A for a 48V battery. BatteryLife Algorithm - Adaptive charging to
extend battery life. The controller constantly monitors the battery charge level
and gradually increases the voltage level day by day, at which the load is
disconnected until the absorption voltage is reached (battery fully charged).
This is followed by a drop in the voltage level at which the load is
disconnected. In this way, the battery can be fully charged approximately once a
week, even with reduced solar gains and higher loads, which will have a positive
effect on the battery life. This is an optional feature.
