Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controllers 100/30 & 100/50 Overview

Key Features

The Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 and 100/50 charge controllers offer advanced solar energy harvesting capabilities. They are designed for efficiency, reliability, and ease of use.

Bluetooth Smart built-in

Provides a wireless solution for setting up, monitoring, updating, and synchronizing SmartSolar Charge Controllers.

VE.Direct

Enables a wired data connection to GX devices, other Victron products, or a PC for detailed monitoring and configuration.

Ultrafast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

This technology significantly improves energy harvest, especially under fluctuating light conditions like partial shading. It can increase yield by up to 30% compared to PWM controllers and up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.

Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection

In cases of partial shading, where multiple maximum power points might exist on the power-voltage curve, the innovative BlueSolar algorithm ensures the controller locks onto the optimum MPP, maximizing energy harvest.

Outstanding Conversion Efficiency

Achieves over 98% maximum efficiency, with full output current available up to 40°C (104°F) without needing a cooling fan.

Flexible Charge Algorithm

Features a fully programmable charge algorithm, with eight pre-programmed options selectable via a rotary switch. Users can also download custom algorithms from the Victron Energy website.

Extensive Electronic Protection

Includes over-temperature protection with power derating, PV short circuit protection, PV reverse polarity protection, and PV reverse current protection.

Internal Temperature Sensor

Automatically compensates absorption and float charge voltages based on the battery's temperature.

Optional External Battery Sensing

Voltage and temperature can be sensed externally via Bluetooth using a Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor. This allows one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers to use this data.

Fully Discharged Battery Recovery

The controller can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. It can also reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery that has an integrated disconnect function.

The bottom one is shown from the side, highlighting its compact, robust casing.Image 2: A small blue device with red and black wires connected to terminals, designed to be attached to a battery for wireless voltage and temperature sensing. This is the Smart Battery Sense.Image 3: A circular display unit with a black bezel and a white face showing a digital readout of "12.80" volts. It has three buttons below the display labeled "SETUP", "SELECT", and "STATUS". This is the BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor.

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

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

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