Victron Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 15A solar charge controller for solar panels up to 220W (12V)

Product Description

Photonic Universe is an official distributor of products from Victron Energy - theglobally renowned manufacturer of high qualityhybrid power electronics. Victron Energy solar charge controllers have a longstanding reputation for their outstanding reliability, innovative design and superior build quality.

This Victron 75V 15A MPPTcontroller comesfrom the intelligent SmartSolar range, which uses the latest ultrafast MPPT technology tomaximise energy harvest whilst maintaining optimal battery health. This SmartSolar MPPT controller uniquely features built-in Bluetooth, to allow remote system monitoring via any Bluetooth enabled device,in addition to an intelligent BatteryLife function.

Ultrafast MPPT Technology:

This 15A MPPT solar charge controller is designed to deliver the highest possible energy yield in the shortest amount of time.This is achievedthrough the use of high speed Maximum Power Point Tracking technology, whichtracks the maximum power voltage point of the solar panels as it varies depending on sunlight exposure and temperature.

Thistechnology enables the controller to produceup to30% greater energy yield than PWM controllers and as much as 10% more power than slower MPPT controllers. This advanced technologyallows the controller toperform extremely wellin low-light or cloudy conditions, as the controller consistently strives to extractthe maximumavailable power from the solar array.

Inbuilt safety protection:

Fully equipped with an extensive range of safety features, this controlleroffers completeprotection against potential hazards such as battery reverse polarity, load short circuit, low-voltage load disconnect and battery overheating -monitored via the internal temperature sensor. The controller also has self-diagnostic capabilityand highlightsany system errors using sophisticated fault-targeting technology.Theseare signalled via the high intensity LED indicators.

Intelligent 'BatteryLife' function:

To prevent complete discharge of the batteryand avoid potentially permanent damage,this controller is equipped with the Victron BatteryLife function; a state-of-the-art feature designed to extend the lifetime of the battery by monitoring and controlling the output ofexcessive loads. Using an intelligent algorithm, the controller will continuously monitor the battery state of charge, and if required (e.g. during periods of poor weather), willgradually adjust the load disconnect threshold until a full 100% recharge is consistently achieved on aweekly basis. Alternatively, the load voltage disconnect point can bemanually configured to your preferred level, using the VictronConnect software (see below).

Inbuilt Bluetooth:

This SmartSolarcharge controller featuresbuilt-in Bluetooth which allows the user to easily connect to any Bluetooth enabled device, such as a mobile phone, tablet oriPadin order to accessthe VictronConnect App(no additional Bluetooth dongle required).Themobile app unlocksnumerous possibilities foradvanced programming and remote monitoring of your Victron SmartSolar system. Once the controller is paired with the app,a wide range ofadditional features are made available, including:

Live data transmission: Real-time information is displayed including solar panel output, battery voltage and current (flowing into and out of the battery) as well as battery state of charge.

Detaileddata logs: System activity for the past 30 days is available toview; either as in-depth daily logs or as a monthly summary. These easy-view graphics display daily energy yield, maximum recorded power and voltage, time spent in each charging stage, minimum and maximum recorded battery voltages, error records and total energy counters.

Load configuration: Option to choose from one of the pre-set load management programs or create a user-defined program. Includes a streetlight function to control the duration and brightness of nighttime lighting.

The VictronConnect App isalso available to downloadas a PC version, for computers without bluetooth connectivity. If you would like tousethe PC version of the app to monitor/program your SmartSolar system, this controller can be connected to your PC via a VE Direct USB cable.

Optional Remote LCD Display:

The user can connect an optional MPPT Control panel (sold separately) to the controller to access a range of monitoring and programming functions. The display shows charging parameters (voltage, current,power) for the solar panel, battery and load, as well as 30 dayperformance data. The user can also adjust the load settings andspecifically set the duration and voltage of each charging stage.

Other features:

The Victron SmartSolar MPPT75/15 model is ideal for a wide range of applications as it is resistant to extreme temperatures, high altitudes, dusty environments and marine environments. The unit enclosure is IP43 water resistant with resin encapsulation of the internal electrical components and has a PD3 pollution rating.

This solar charge controller is also compatible with a wide range of battery types, including AGM, Gel, Tubular plate and Lithium batteries.
