Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-Tr

The Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controller 150V 85A is a high-performance solar charge controller designed for efficient energy management in solar power systems. This advanced controller features integrated Bluetooth connectivity for wireless setup, monitoring, and synchronization functions. With ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, it optimizes energy yield by up to 30 percent compared to PWM controllers and up to 10 percent compared to slow MPPT controllers, particularly effective in changing light conditions such as cloudy skies. The sophisticated MPPT algorithm excels in partial shading by identifying and establishing the optimal maximum power point among multiple power points. The controller achieves an exceptional conversion efficiency of over 98 percent and operates without a fan for silent operation. It offers a fully programmable charging algorithm with eight pre-programmed options, selectable via a rotary switch. Comprehensive electronic protection includes over-temperature protection with power reduction, PV short-circuit protection, PV reverse polarity protection, and PV reverse current protection. An internal temperature sensor automatically compensates for absorption and float charging voltages due to temperature fluctuations. The system supports optional external battery voltage and temperature monitoring via Bluetooth connectivity when used with compatible monitoring devices. Additional features include a VE.Direct wired data connection for integration with control systems, remote on/off functionality for system management, and a programmable relay that can be configured for alarms or specific events. This charge controller is designed for reliability and precise energy management in demanding solar applications.
