Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/60-TR Solar Charge Controller with Bluetooth Connectivity

SmartSolar MPPT 150/60-TR

The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/60 Solar Charge Controller is Bluetooth accessible via either built-in Bluetooth or the Victron Energy Bluetooth dongle. The VictronConnect app is available for free on both iOS and Android. This app allows you to view plenty of parameters: battery voltage, solar history, load output, flexible battery charge algorithms, plus day/night timing and light dimming options. These solar charge controllers will gather energy from your solar panels fast and efficiently.

Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Especially in the case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers. Load output Over-discharge of the battery can be prevented by connecting all loads to the load output. The load output will disconnect the load when the battery has been discharged to a pre-set voltage. Alternatively, an intelligent battery management algorithm can be chosen: see Battery Life.

The load output is short circuit proof. Some loads (especially inverters) can best be connected directly to the battery, and the inverter remote control is connected to the load output. A special interface cable may be needed, please see the manual Battery Life: intelligent battery management When a solar charge controller is not able to recharge the battery to its full capacity within one day, the result is often that the battery will continually be cycled between a partially charged state and the end of discharge state. This mode of operation (no regular full recharge) will destroy a lead-acid battery within weeks or months.

MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking

By constantly monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels, MPPT technology ensures that every drop of available power is rinsed out of your panels, and harvested for storage. The advantage of this is most noticeable when the sky is partially clouded, and light intensity is constantly changing.

The Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/60-TR Solar Charge Controller is designed to maximize energy harvest from your solar panels with ultra-fast maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology. Equipped with built-in Bluetooth and compatibility with the VictronConnect app available on iOS and Android devices, this controller offers comprehensive monitoring of battery voltage, solar performance, load output, and customizable charge algorithms. Its efficient design ensures quick energy collection even under variable weather conditions, making it ideal for both residential and off-grid solar systems. The MPPT technology improves energy extraction by up to 30% compared to PWM controllers and up to 10% over slower MPPT models, especially under partial shading or fluctuating light conditions. The controller's intelligent load management prevents battery over-discharge by disconnecting loads at preset voltage thresholds, and its short-circuit-proof load output offers added safety and reliability. The device also supports advanced battery management features to extend battery life, preventing damage caused by incomplete recharges. Its robust construction and UL approval ensure durability and compliance for various installation environments. The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/60-TR is an essential component for optimizing solar energy systems, providing precise control, real-time monitoring, and efficient power conversion to meet your energy needs effectively.
