Victron 12/24/48V 20A SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller
Elevate your solar power system with the Victron 12/24/48V 20A SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller, designed for optimal efficiency and user-friendly operation. This advanced charge controller harnesses the power of Bluetooth Smart technology for effortless solar management, making it a perfect addition to any solar energy setup.
Enjoy the convenience of wireless setup, monitoring, updates, and synchronization with our SmartSolar Charge Controllers. This built-in Bluetooth Smart feature transforms your solar energy management experience, offering unparalleled ease of use.
Achieve a flawless wired data connection to Cerbo GX and other GX devices, PCs, or additional devices through VE.Direct. This feature ensures efficient data sharing and device integration, enhancing your system's overall performance.
With our cutting-edge ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, increase your energy harvest by up to 30% over PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% over slower MPPT controllers. Ideal for fluctuating light conditions and cloudy skies, ensuring you get the most out of your solar panels.
Prevent battery over-discharge by connecting all loads to the load output. The intelligent load output disconnects the load when the battery voltage drops to a preset level, safeguarding your battery with our intelligent battery management algorithm.
Our innovative Battery Life algorithm enhances the efficiency of your solar charge controller, promoting optimal battery charging and avoiding the harmful cycling between partially charged and fully discharged states. This approach helps maintain near full recharge approximately once every week, significantly extending battery life.
Dive into the software section on our website to discover how you can customize the battery charge algorithm to suit your specific needs, ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency.
Explore advanced features like day/night timing and light dimming options for added control and efficiency. Visit our software section for more information on how to implement these features.
Benefit from accurate charge compensation with our internal temperature sensor, which adjusts absorption and float charge voltages in response to temperature fluctuations, ensuring efficient and accurate charging under all conditions.
Enhance your monitoring capabilities with optional devices such as Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor. These accessories communicate critical battery voltage and temperature information to your SmartSolar Charge Controllers via Bluetooth, further improving your system's performance.
Victron's sophisticated 3-stage charging process includes Bulk, Absorption, and Float stages, meticulously designed to ensure efficient battery charging and maximized battery health.
- Bulk Stage: Rapidly charges the batteries with maximum current until the absorption voltage is reached.
- Absorption Stage: Switches to constant voltage mode, gradually reducing current to maintain battery health.
- Float Stage: Maintains batteries at a reduced voltage, ensuring they remain fully charged without overcharging, particularly during nighttime when solar power is not available.
Utilize the VictronConnect App to select from 8 pre-set charge algorithms or create a fully programmable charge algorithm, allowing for complete customization of charge voltages, stage durations, and current for optimal efficiency. Additionally, activate equalization charging for specific lead-acid battery types to balance cell voltages, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Transform your solar power system with the Victron 12/24/48V 20A SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller for unparalleled efficiency, advanced battery management, and user-friendly operation.
