MPPT charge controller Victron SmartSolar 150/60 with MC4 type

Ultra-fast maximum power point tracking (MPPT-Maximum Power Point Tracking)

Especially under cloudy skies, when light intensity is constantly changing, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvesting by up to 30% compared with PWM (pulse-width modulation) charge controllers, and by up to 10% compared with slower MPPT controllers.

Advanced maximum power point detection in shading conditions

Under shadowing conditions, two or more maximum power points may be present on the voltage-power curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock onto a local MPP that may not be the optimal one. SmartSolar's innovative algorithm will always maximize energy recovery by locking on to the optimal MPP.

Outstanding conversion efficiency

No fan. Maximum efficiency in excess of 98%.

Flexible charging algorithm

Fully programmable charging algorithm and eight pre-programmed algorithms selectable with a rotary switch.

Extended electronic protection

Protection against overheating and power reduction at high temperatures. Protection against reversed PV polarity and PV short-circuits. Protection against reversed PV current.

Internal temperature sensor

Compensates for Float and Absorption charge voltages as a function of temperature.

Integrated Bluetooth Smart: no electronic key required

The wireless solution for configuring, monitoring and updating the controller using Apple and Android phones, tablets or other devices.

VE.Direct

For a wired data connection to a ColorControl control panel, PC or other devices.

Remote on/off

For connection to a VE.BUS BMS, for example.

Programmable relay

Can be programmed (e.g. with a Smartphone) to trigger an alarm, or other events.
