Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-MC4 solar charge controller

The Smartsolar mppt 150/85-mc4 from Victron Energy (mpn scc010085310), belongs to the latest generation of smart solar controllers from the Dutch premium manufacturer. Ultra-fast power tracking and automatic power point detection in case of partial shading are just 2 of the many highlights of this new class of devices. The devices of the classes 150/45tr to 150/100-mc4 are also available as a version with mc4 connections on the solar side of the charge controller instead of screw terminals. In addition, this model masters parallel operation with other controllers of the same type.

Compared to the BlueSolar series, the Bluetooth module of the Smartsolar family is already integrated in the controller, which makes the smart dongle superfluous for this device. Also new is the optionally available lcd display, which can be simply plugged onto the SmartSolar 150/85-mc4 as required. The display then provides all the important information about the controller. Optional, the MPPT-WireBox-XL MC4 from Victron Energy is the ideal complement for your SmartSolar charge controller. It securely covers the cable inputs or connection terminals of the controller, protecting them from external influences and contact.

smart data communication via VE.Direct and lightning-fast Bluetooth module

Modern Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, Macbooks and other devices can be connected thanks to the permanently integrated Bluetooth module and the free Victron Connect app. The app can then be used to configure many important functions of the SmartSolar controller. Of course, it also provides all important parameters such as the current solar yield in real time.

Automatic detection of the maximum power point in case of partial shading

In the case of partial shading, there may be two or more maximum power points (mppts) on the current-voltage curve. Conventional mppts tend to settle on a local mpp. However, this may not be the optimal mpp. The innovative algorithm of the SmartSolar device will always maximize the energy yield by adjusting to the optimal mpp.

High-speed mppt-mc4 tracker of the latest generation

Especially in overcast conditions when light intensity is constantly changing, an extremely fast mppt controller improves energy output by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower mppt controllers.

extensive electronic protection

• Protection against reverse battery connection
• PV reverse current lock
• Protection against overheating of the device
• Protection against short circuits
• Protection against reverse polarity PV connection

the VE.Direct data communication port

VE.Direct in text mode transmits all important parameters to other devices coupled to the charge controller every second, providing the possibility of communication with additional devices system panel gx Color Control. The VE.Direct connection is intended for products where a full Canbus integration (VE-Direct) would be too costly. More information about VE.Direct can be found in our Victron Energy brand store.
