Solar controller MPPT Victron Energy 100V/30A

Solar controller MPPT Victron Energy 100V/30A

Mere infos:

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. Full warranty 5 years.

As proof of the high quality of all MPPT controllers, Victron Energy provides an extended full 5-year warranty.

Victron Energy MPPT solar controllers are among the absolute world leaders in this field. It offers ultra-fast MPPT monitoring, which ensures the maximum possible solar gains. Especially in cloudy weather with frequent changes in exposure intensity, solar gains are 30% higher compared to conventional PWM controllers or 10% higher compared to slower MPPT controllers.

The maximum output 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 only automatically reduce the incoming power from the panels to acceptable values. The solar controller is factory preset for eight types of batteries - the selection of the appropriate type is made 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 (attention: the voltage of the solar panels increases with decreasing outdoor temperature). The maximum input short-circuit current of the PV modules must not exceed 35A, otherwise permanent damage may occur.

Check the correct choice of your BlueSolar / SmartSolar controller according to the parameters of the photovoltaic field in our configurator below.

The BlueSolar MPPT series of MPPT controllers allows the connection of an external Bluetooth adapter marked Smart Dongle:
This external BT adapter brings the possibility of connecting your smartphone / tablet with your solar controller. You can monitor many system parameters and historical statistics for the last 30 days. You also have the option of setting operating parameters.

Internal electronic components are protected by a resin coating against adverse effects and for long life. It thus offers increased IP43 protection for electronic components and IP22 for connection connectors. Designed for vertical position on a non-flammable surface, with wiring from below.

The controller contains an internal temperature sensor for appropriate adjustment of the charging voltage. Automatic detection of system voltage 12/24 V.

Adaptive three-stage charging:
1. Bulk, 2. Absorption and 3. Float. Initially, fast charging generates high current and lower voltage to quickly charge a discharged battery. This phase is followed by a constant voltage with decreasing current to fully charge the battery without dangerous overcharging, reducing battery life. A charged battery is kept charged with very low current and low voltage. If the battery voltage drops below 13.2 V, for example due to a load, a new charging cycle is started.

The voltage from the panels must exceed the battery voltage by 5 V for the controller to start working and charge 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 number of 32 cells and a maximum number of 108 cells (panels in series). It is therefore possible to charge a 12 V battery as well as panels with a working voltage of 24 V. For 24 V systems, we recommend panels with a minimum number of 72 cells and a maximum number of 108 cells. The purpose is to achieve sufficient voltage for efficient and full battery charging.

This more powerful range of solar controllers is not equipped with a DC output. We recommend using "BP battery protection" with a maximum load current of up to 220A to connect the DC load to the battery.
