SmartSolar MPPT 100/15

MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology allows the SmartSolar 100/15 charge controller to quickly locate the maximum power point of your solar panels. This optimizes energy harvesting, improving performance by up to 30% compared to PWM controllers and up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers, especially under cloudy skies or when light intensity varies.

The SmartSolar MPPT 100/15 controller supports a nominal PV power of 220 W for a 12 V battery system and 440 W for a 24 V battery system. If a higher PV power is connected, the controller will limit the input power.

Yes, this controller is equipped with an integrated Smart Bluetooth module. This allows you to configure, monitor, and update the controller wirelessly via the VictronConnect app, available on your smartphone or tablet.

You can monitor and configure the charge controller in several ways:

Via the VictronConnect app using the built-in Bluetooth Smart connection.Through a wired connection via the VE.Direct port to a GX device (such as a Color Control GX), a PC, or other Victron Energy devices.

The load output prevents excessive battery discharge by automatically disconnecting connected loads when the battery voltage reaches a preset level. This output is also short-circuit protected.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 100/15 controller features a recovery function for fully discharged batteries. It can initiate a charging cycle even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. It can also reconnect to a fully discharged lithium-ion battery equipped with an internal disconnect function.

The SmartSolar MPPT 100/15 charge controller delivers a peak efficiency of 98 %, ensuring optimal conversion of solar energy into charging power for your batteries.

The quiescent current of the controller is very low: 25 mA for a 12 V battery system and 15 mA for a 24 V battery system.

The controller includes built-in protections to ensure your system’s safety. It features output short-circuit protection and overheat protection.

The SmartSolar MPPT 100/15 controller can operate within an extended temperature range from -30 to +60°C. It maintains its nominal output power at full capacity up to 40°C.

The controller has compact dimensions of 100 x 113 x 50 mm (height x width x depth) and weighs only 0.6 kg.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 100/15 controller includes an internal temperature sensor that automatically compensates Float and absorption charge voltages based on ambient temperature, optimizing battery lifespan.

The controller uses a multi-stage adaptive charging algorithm. It also integrates the BatteryLife function, which dynamically adjusts the charge disconnection level to ensure a charge of nearly 100% at least once per week, thereby extending the lifespan of lead-acid batteries.

No, the SmartSolar MPPT 100/15 charge controller does not have an integrated programmable relay.

The SmartSolar MPPT 100/15 controller is compatible with 12 V and 24 V battery systems, with automatic voltage selection. It is suitable for charging lead-acid batteries (flooded, gel, AGM) and lithium-ion batteries.

The maximum open-circuit voltage (Voc) that the SmartSolar MPPT 100/15 charge controller can accept from your solar panels is 100 V.

Yes, you can use an external voltage and temperature sensor. A Smart Battery Sense probe or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor can be connected via Bluetooth to relay this data to one or more SmartSolar charge controllers, providing enhanced accuracy.

Yes, the VE.Direct port on the controller allows wired data connection to Victron Energy GX devices, such as the Color Control GX, other GX products, or a PC, for centralized monitoring and management of your system.

The SmartSolar MPPT 100/15 controller’s power terminals are designed to accept cables with a maximum cross-section of 6 mm² (AWG10).

The controller has an IP43 rating for the electronic components, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes. The connection area has an IP22 rating.
