VICTRON SmartSolar MPPT 100/50A Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller

Victron Energy 50A MPPT Solar Charge Controller

Mandurah Lithium Upgrades is your local stockist for a majority of Victron products.

The Victron 50A solar regulator is specific to only a few situations:

1. If your caravan has more than 600w of total roof solar panels

2. You have lithium batteries and you have a dedicated DCDC charger without Solar input.

3. You have more than 300AH of lithium batteries

If you have under 600w of solar, the Victron 30A solar regulator is more suited to your needs.

If you have a lithium battery under 300AH, and under 600w of solar, we recommend the Enerdrive 40A DCDC charger to control both alternator and solar inputs.

If you have over 300AH of lithium, then you should already have or are planning to have more than 600W of solar on your roof to help maximise recharging such a large amount of lithium. So then we at Mandurah Lithium Upgrades recommend the Victron 50A solar regulator should be sold with the Victron 30A DCDC charger as a package.

Once you go above 300AH of lithium batteries, its important that you maximise charging from all 3 sources: 240v, solar and alternator 12v.

All DCDC chargers that have solar and alternator inputs will choose one input or the other up to the units maximum amp rating. So this can be a weak point for a large array of lithium batteries, because as you are driving, all of your solar is cut out and alternator 12v is prioritized, or vice versa.

So installing both a Victron 30A or 50A solar regulator with the Victron 30A DCDC charger is great solution

VE.Direct Wired Data Connection

Our VE.Direct feature ensures a wired data connection to Color Control GX, Cerbo GX and other GX products, and personal computers. This efficient data sharing and device integration capability significantly improves your overall system performance.

Ultra-fast MPPT for Enhanced Energy Harvest

The Victron Energy's 50A Solar Charge Controller boasts ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology. This improves your energy harvest by up to 30% compared to traditional PWM charge controllers, and by up to 10% when compared to slower MPPT controllers, making it an ideal solution for varying light conditions, including clouded skies.

Innovative Maximum Power Point Detection

For scenarios with partial shading conditions, our innovative BlueSolar algorithm ensures maximum energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP, unlike conventional MPPTs that may lock to a suboptimal local MPP.

Exceptional Conversion Efficiency

With an impressive maximum efficiency exceeding 98% and full output current up to 40°C (104°F), our fanless Solar Charge Controller offers outstanding conversion efficiency, simplifying your system design.

Versatile Charge Algorithm

Our Solar Charge Controller offers a fully programmable charge algorithm and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch, ensuring a versatile, efficient, and personalized solar charging experience.

Robust Electronic Protection

To safeguard your system, our Solar Charge Controller includes over-temperature protection, power derating at high temperatures, PV short circuit protection, PV reverse polarity protection, and PV reverse current protection.

Accurate Internal Temperature Sensor

The integrated internal temperature sensor compensates absorption and float charge voltage based on temperature, ensuring efficient and accurate charging.

Bluetooth-enabled External Battery Voltage and Temperature Sensing (Purchased Separately)

Extend your system control with a Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor. These devices can communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers, enhancing your ability to monitor and control your solar energy system.

Advanced Charging Features of Victron Energy's MPPT Solar Charge Controller

Adaptive 3-Stage Battery Charging

Victron's MPPT Solar Charge Controller utilizes a sophisticated 3-stage charging process, comprising of Bulk, Absorption, and Float stages for efficient battery charging.

Bulk Stage

During the Bulk stage, the solar charger delivers the maximum charge current to rapidly charge the batteries. As the battery voltage gradually increases and reaches the set absorption voltage, the Bulk stage transitions into the Absorption stage.

Absorption Stage

In the Absorption stage, the solar charger switches to a constant voltage mode, and the current supplied to the battery slowly decreases. When the current drops below 2A, the charger transitions into the Float stage. The Absorption time is adaptive, short for shallow discharges but longer after deep discharges, to ensure optimal battery recharging.

Float Stage

The Float stage maintains the batteries at a reduced voltage, preserving their full charged state. The absence of a storage stage sets our solar charger apart, as it ceases charging at night when there is no solar power.

Flexible Charge Algorithm

The VictronConnect App provides a choice of 8 pre-set charge algorithms, or alternatively, a fully programmable charge algorithm. Customize the charge voltages, stage duration, and charge current for maximum charging efficiency. A rotary switch can also be used to set 8 pre-programmed algorithms.

Equalization Charging

For some lead-acid battery types, periodic equalization charge is essential. This process increases the charge voltage above the regular charge voltages for cell balancing. If required, enable equalization charging using the VictronConnect App.
