Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 Solar Charge Controller

SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 - TR Solar Charge Controller

Features:

• Bluetooth Smart built-in The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
• Ultra-fast 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 (MPP) 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 SmartSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.
• Outstanding conversion efficiency No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%.
• Flexible charge algorithm Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on our website), and eight preprogrammed 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.
• VE.Direct For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices
• Remote on-off To connect for example to a VE.BUS BMS.
• Programmable relay Can be programmed to trip on an alarm, or other events

The Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 is a high-performance solar charge controller designed to optimize energy harvesting from photovoltaic arrays. Featuring built-in Bluetooth Smart technology, it allows users to easily set up, monitor, update, and synchronize the controller wirelessly via compatible devices. Its ultra-fast maximum power point tracking (MPPT) ensures maximum energy extraction, especially in variable light conditions such as cloudy weather, increasing energy harvest by up to 30% compared to traditional PWM controllers and by up to 10% over slower MPPT units. This advanced MPPT algorithm effectively detects multiple maximum power points in partial shading scenarios, ensuring the system always locks onto the most productive MPP for optimal efficiency. The controller boasts an impressive conversion efficiency exceeding 98%, with no cooling fan required, ensuring quiet operation and reduced maintenance. The fully programmable charge algorithm, combined with eight preconfigured options, offers flexible battery management tailored to different applications, while extensive electronic protections—including over-temperature, PV short circuit, reverse polarity, and reverse current safeguards—enhance system reliability. An internal temperature sensor adjusts absorption and float voltages based on ambient temperature, helping prolong battery life. Additionally, optional external sensing via Bluetooth allows real-time monitoring of battery voltage and temperature through compatible sensors like the Smart Battery Sense or BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor. Connectivity options include VE.Direct for wired communication with data loggers and control systems, as well as remote on-off functionality for integration with BMS systems. The programmable relay can be used to trigger alarms or other events, making this controller suitable for a wide range of off-grid and mobile solar applications. Designed with durability and efficiency in mind, the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 is an essential component for maximizing solar energy harvest and ensuring reliable battery management in demanding environments.
