A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.
The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulphated or otherwise damaged.
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.
Ā
Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT)
Upper curve:
The Maximum Power Point (MPP) is the point Pmax along the curve where the product I x V reaches its peak.
Lower curve:
When using a PWM (not MPPT) controller the output voltage of theĀ solar panel will be nearly equal to the voltage of the battery, and will be lower than Vmp.
Control Your Charger Remotely
The MPPT VE.Can SmartSolar charger can be remotely controlled and configured over Bluetooth via the VictronConnect App. This allows device set-up, management, and at-a-glance information, such as battery voltage and current, PV voltage and current, and historical data.Ā
Daisy Chain Additional Units
The VE.Can SmartSolar charger is equipped with CAN bus ports. This allows for communication with additional VE.Can SmartSolar chargers. The additional units are simply ādaisy chainedā to each other with a single RJ45 cable between the individual units.
When connected to each other, all individual VE.Can SmartSolar chargers, will synchronise their charge stages. They can also send their data, via a single cable, to a GX monitoring device.Ā
Ā
Remote Monitoring and Control
Remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger with built-in Bluetooth by pairing it with your smartphone or other device via VictronConnect.Ā If your installation is connected to the internetĀ with a GX device, the Victron Remote Management PortalĀ (VRM)Ā provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both VictronConnect and VRM are free to use.Ā For remote installations - even when there is no internet connection nearby - you may be able to monitor your MPPT by connecting the Ā GlobalLink 520.
BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controllers Overview
Feature highlights common to all models
ā¢ Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions.
ā¢ Outstanding conversion efficiency.
ā¢ Natural convection cooling.
ā¢ Automatic battery voltage recognition.
ā¢ Flexible charge algorithm.
ā¢ Over temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high.
Sizing options:
connect to 12 and 24V batteries, or only to 48V batteries.
ā¢ Charge currents rating from 10A all the way up to 100A.
ā¢ Maximum PV array Voc voltages ranging from 75V up to 250V.
ā¢ Multiple chargers can be used in parallel, for large systems we recommend to use the models with a
VE.Can communication port.
PV terminal options:
ā¢ MC4 - 3 pairs of paralleled MC4 connectors.
Bluetooth options:
ā¢ BlueSolar models do not have Bluetooth. They can be retrofitted to have Bluetooth by connecting the
VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. Advantage: the product is not Bluetooth accessible when the
dongle is not connected. Note that on the SmartSolar models, Bluetooth can be disabled.
Display options:
ā¢ MPPT Control. Connects to all models via a VE.Direct cable
ā¢ SmartSolar Control Display. Plugs directly into the housing of the larger models
ā¢ GX device
ā¢ VRM website (GX monitoring device needed)
Communication ports:
ā¢ VE.Direct and VE.Can - limited models. VE.Can is especially suitable for systems with multiple solar
chargers. All units are simply ādaisy chainedā to each other with a single RJ45 cable between each unit
and also between the las unit in the chain and the a GX monitoring device.
Temperature sensor options:
ā¢ Externally via the Smart Battery Sense (only SmartSolar models).
Load output options:
ā¢ Virtual output - via VE.Direct TX digital output cable and the BatteryProtect or a solid-state relay.
Remotely enabling and disabling the charger:
onboard Remote on/off terminal can be remotely controlled by using the VE.Direct non inverting
remote on/off cable ā ASS030550310. Note that this prohibits using the VE.Direct port for anything
else.
