Victron Energy Smart Solar MPPT 100/20 12/24/48V Charge Controller

The SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 charge controller is compatible with 12V, 24V, and 48V battery systems. It automatically detects the system voltage.

The maximum nominal power of the photovoltaic (PV) panels that the controller can handle is 290W for a 12V system, 580W for a 24V system, and 1160W for a 48V system. It is important to note that if a higher PV power is connected, the controller will limit the input power.

Yes, the controller integrates Bluetooth Smart technology. This allows configuration, monitoring, and wireless updates via the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet, without requiring an external dongle.

The ultra-fast MPPT technology optimizes solar energy harvesting by continuously tracking the maximum power point of the panels. It can improve energy output by up to 30% compared to PWM controllers and 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers, especially in cloudy conditions where light intensity varies constantly.

Yes, external battery voltage and temperature sensors can be added via Bluetooth. You can use a Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor to relay this data to the controller.

The SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 controller can accept a photovoltaic (PV) open-circuit voltage of up to 100V.

Yes, the regulator has a fully discharged battery recovery function. It can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts, provided the cells are not damaged. It can also reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with built-in disconnect function.

The programmable battery charge algorithm is compatible with several battery types, including lithium, AGM, gel, and lead-acid batteries. It also includes internal temperature compensation.

The smart load output prevents excessive battery discharge by disconnecting loads when the battery reaches a predefined voltage. For 48V systems, this function interfaces with a relay. The load output is protected against short circuits and can handle a maximum continuous current of 20A for 12V and 24V systems, and 1A for 48V systems.

The BatteryLife algorithm is an intelligent battery management system that prevents excessive discharge. If the charge controller cannot fully recharge the battery within a single day, BatteryLife gradually adjusts the load disconnection threshold each day (disconnecting the load earlier) until the solar energy harvested is sufficient to recharge the battery to nearly 100%. The disconnection threshold is then modulated to ensure a near-full recharge approximately once per week, extending battery lifespan.

The nominal charging current of the SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 charge controller is 20A.

Yes, the regulator is equipped with short-circuit protection on the output and overheat protection to ensure the safety of your system.

The regulator's power terminals are designed for 6 mm² cables (AWG10) to ensure a secure and efficient electrical connection.

The regulator can operate within a temperature range of -30 to +60 °C. It is important to note that it delivers its full nominal power up to 40 °C.

You can monitor your system's performance via the VictronConnect app using the built-in Bluetooth. The charge controller also stores historical data on battery voltage, current and temperature, charging current output, PV voltage and current for 46 days.

Yes, the controller is equipped with a VE.Direct port that allows a wired connection to a Color Control GX or other GX products, as well as to a PC or other devices for advanced integration and monitoring.

The maximum short-circuit current of the PV panels that the controller can support is 20A. It is critical not to connect a PV array with a higher short-circuit current, as this could damage the controller.

The regulator includes an internal temperature sensor that automatically compensates the absorption and floating voltage based on ambient temperature, with a compensation of -16 mV / °C or -32 mV / °C depending on the system. This ensures optimal charging and extends battery life.
