Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 Solar Charge Controller

Description A solar charger collects energy from solar panels and stores it in batteries. With advanced, high-speed technology, SmartSolar optimizes energy harvesting and channels it effectively to achieve a full charge as quickly as possible. Additionally, SmartSolar safeguards battery health, prolonging its lifespan. The SmartSolar charge controller can even recharge batteries that are significantly depleted. It operates with battery voltages as low as 0 volts, provided the cells are not permanently damaged or sulphated. Key Features Built-in Bluetooth Smart Offers a wireless solution for setting up, monitoring, updating, and synchronizing SmartSolar Charge Controllers. VE.Direct Provides a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PCs, or other compatible devices. Ultrafast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Ideal for situations where light intensity varies, such as on cloudy days. This ultra-fast MPPT controller can boost energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM controllers and up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers. Advanced Power Point Detection for Partial Shading In partial shading conditions, multiple power points may appear on the power-voltage curve. Traditional MPPTs can lock onto a local MPP, missing the optimal one. The innovative BlueSolar algorithm ensures maximum energy harvest by finding the best MPP. High Conversion Efficiency Delivers outstanding efficiency of over 98% with no cooling fan required. Provides full output current up to 40°C (104°F). Customizable Charge Algorithm Features a fully programmable charge algorithm, accessible through our website. Includes eight pre-configured algorithms that can be selected using a rotary switch (refer to the manual for more details). Comprehensive Electronic Protection Includes over-temperature protection and power derating at high temperatures, as well as PV short circuit, PV reverse polarity, and PV reverse current protection. Internal Temperature Sensor Adjusts absorption and float charge voltage based on temperature. For external battery voltage and temperature sensing, SmartSolar supports the use of Smart Battery Sense or the BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor, which can communicate data to multiple SmartSolar controllers. Recovery for Fully Discharged Batteries Initiates charging even if the battery voltage drops to zero. Can reconnect with fully discharged Li-ion batteries that have an integrated disconnect function.
