MPPT Solar Charge Controller Victron Energy SmartSolar 100/30

Product detailed description

Robust and fast MPPT controller for demanding conditions with panel voltage up to 100 V, maximum charging current 30 A. Battery 12/24V, PV max 440/880Wp. Integrated Bluetooth.
Victron Energy MPPT solar charge controllers are among the absolute world leaders in this field. It offers ultra-fast MPPT tracking, which ensures the maximum possible solar yields. Especially in overcast conditions with frequent changes in light intensity, solar yields are 30% higher compared to classic PWM controllers or 10% higher compared to slower MPPT controllers.
The maximum power of solar panels is 440 Wp for 12 V systems, and 880 Wp for 24 V systems. If these values are exceeded, the controller will not be damaged, but will simply automatically reduce the incoming power from the panels to acceptable levels. The solar charge controller is factory preset for eight battery types - the appropriate type is selected using a rotary switch located on the body of the controller.
The maximum open-circuit voltage (referred to as Voc) of the connected solar panels must not exceed 100V (note: the voltage of solar panels increases as the outdoor temperature decreases). The maximum input short-circuit current of the PV panels must not exceed 35A, otherwise permanent damage may occur.

You can also download the VictronConnect app for free on Google Play or the App Store.
If you want to do the above using a PC, you have the option of using a VE.direct to USB cable to connect the controller and the PC. You just need to install the Victron Connect program on your computer, which you can download for free again at the same address: https://www.victronenergy.com/support-and-downloads/software#victronconnect-app
The internal electronic components are protected with a resin coating against adverse effects and for a long service life. It thus offers increased protection rating of IP43 for electronic components and IP22 for connection connectors. Designed for vertical position on a non-flammable surface, with cabling connected from below.
The controller contains an internal temperature sensor for corresponding adjustment of the charging voltage. Automatic detection of 12/24 V system voltage.
Adaptive three-stage charging:
1. fast charging (Bulk), 2. absorption (Absorption) and 3. maintenance (Float). Initially, during fast charging, a high current and lower voltage are generated for quick recharging of the discharged battery. This phase is followed by constant voltage with decreasing current for full battery charging without dangerous overcharging that reduces battery life. The charged battery is kept in a charged state with a very low current and low voltage. If the voltage on the battery drops below 13.2 V, for example due to load, a new charging cycle starts.
The voltage from the panels must exceed the battery voltage by 5 V for the controller to start working and charging the battery. The controller charges until the voltage from the panels is 1 V higher than the battery voltage. For a 12 V battery, we recommend panels with a minimum of 32 cells and a maximum of 108 cells (panels in series). It is therefore possible to charge a 12 V battery with panels with an operating voltage of 24 V as well. For 24 V systems, we recommend panels with a minimum of 72 cells and a maximum of 108 cells. The purpose is to achieve sufficient voltage for efficient and full battery charging.
This more powerful range of solar charge controllers is not equipped with a DC output. To connect a DC load to the battery, we recommend using a "BP Battery Protect" with a maximum load current of up to 220A.
