Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/35

Features:

• Bluetooth Smart built-in
  • The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar Charge Controllers. 
• VE.Direct 
  • For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices
• Ultrafast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) 
  • Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30 % compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10 % compared to slower MPPT controllers. 
• Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions 
  • If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may be present on the power-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP. The innovative BlueSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP. 
• Outstanding conversion efficiency 
  • No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98 %. Full output current up to 40 °C (104 °F). 
• Flexible charge algorithm 
  • Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on our website), and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details). 
• Extensive electronic protection 
  •  - Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high.  - PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection.  - PV reverse current protection. 
• Internal temperature sensor 
  • Compensates absorption and float charge voltage for temperature. 
• Optional external battery voltage and temperature sensing via Bluetooth 
  • A Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers. 
• Fully discharged battery recovery function 
  • Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with integrated disconnect function.

Notes:

1a) If more PV power is connected, the controller will limit input power.

1b) The PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5 V for the controller to start. Thereafter the minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1 V.

2) A PV array with a higher short circuit current may damage the controller.
