Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-TR Solar Charge Controller - UL Approved

$382.50 USD $450.00

Product Description

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 TR Solar Charge Controller is engineered specifically for marine and boating applications, providing efficient and reliable solar energy management to keep your vessel powered seamlessly. With advanced technology and robust features, this charge controller ensures optimal performance even in the most challenging marine environments.

Key Features

Bluetooth Smart Connectivity

Easily set up, monitor, update, and synchronize your SmartSolar Charge Controller wirelessly using the built-in Bluetooth Smart feature. Stay connected to your system effortlessly, whether you're docked or out at sea.

Ultra-Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Maximize your energy harvest with ultra-fast MPPT technology, which adjusts rapidly to changing light conditions. This feature improves energy capture by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers, ensuring you get the most out of every ray of sunlight.

Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection

In scenarios of partial shading, multiple maximum power points (MPP) can occur. The innovative SmartSolar algorithm intelligently locks onto the optimal MPP, ensuring maximum energy harvest even under partial shading conditions, which are common in marine settings with variable light exposure.

Outstanding Conversion Efficiency

With a maximum efficiency exceeding 98% and no cooling fan required, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 ensures minimal energy loss and operates quietly, making it ideal for the confined and sensitive environments of boats and marine vessels.

Flexible Charge Algorithm

Customize your charging strategy with a fully programmable charge algorithm available through our software. Additionally, choose from eight preprogrammed algorithms using the rotary switch, allowing you to tailor the charge controller to your specific marine battery needs.

Comprehensive Electronic Protection

  • Over-Temperature Protection: Prevents overheating by adjusting power output in high-temperature conditions.
  • PV Short Circuit & Reverse Polarity Protection: Safeguards against electrical faults in your solar array.
  • PV Reverse Current Protection: Ensures that current flows correctly, protecting your system from potential damage.

Internal Temperature Sensor

Automatically compensates absorption and float charge voltages based on temperature readings, enhancing battery life and performance in varying marine climates.

Optional External Sensing via Bluetooth

Connect a Smart Battery Sense or BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor via Bluetooth to transmit battery voltage and temperature data to one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers, enabling precise monitoring and management of your marine battery system.

VE.Direct Connectivity

Facilitate a wired data connection to devices such as the Color Control GX, other GX products, PCs, or additional devices, ensuring integrated and comprehensive system management.

Remote On-Off Capability

Integrate with systems like the VE.BUS BMS to remotely control the charge controller, providing greater flexibility and control over your marine energy system.

Programmable Relay

Set the relay to trigger on specific alarms or events, allowing for automated responses to various conditions and enhancing system reliability.
