Victron 12/24V 15A SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller
Maximize your solar installation's efficiency with the innovative Victron 12/24V 15A SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller. Designed for optimal performance and ease of use, this controller harnesses advanced technology to ensure your solar system operates at its peak.
The integration of Bluetooth Smart technology in our SmartSolar Charge Controllers offers the convenience of wireless setup, monitoring, updating, and synchronization. This feature enables easy management of your solar system directly from your smartphone or tablet, enhancing your solar energy management experience.
VE.Direct provides a reliable wired data connection to Cerbo GX and other GX devices, PCs, or other compatible devices. This direct connection facilitates efficient data sharing and device integration, improving your solar system's overall performance.
Utilize our ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to significantly boost your energy harvest-by up to 30% over PWM charge controllers and 10% over slower MPPT controllers. This feature is especially beneficial in conditions with cloudy skies and fluctuating light intensity, ensuring you capture the maximum amount of solar energy available.
Connect all loads to the load output to prevent battery over-discharge. The intelligent load output feature disconnects the load when the battery voltage falls to a predetermined level, employing our smart battery management algorithm for optimal battery protection and operation.
The Battery Life algorithm is a key feature of our solar charge controller, designed to recharge the battery efficiently and avoid harmful cycling between partially charged and fully discharged states. This approach ensures a near-full recharge approximately once every week, significantly extending your battery's lifespan.
Our software allows for customization of the battery charge algorithm, providing the flexibility to tailor charging processes to your specific requirements. This customization ensures your solar system operates efficiently and aligns with your energy needs.
Explore additional functionalities such as day/night timing and light dimming options available through our software. These features offer enhanced control over your solar system, allowing for further optimization of energy usage.
The inclusion of an internal temperature sensor ensures accurate charge compensation in response to temperature fluctuations. This sensor adjusts absorption and float charge voltages accordingly, guaranteeing efficient and accurate battery charging under varying environmental conditions.
Enhance your system's monitoring capabilities with optional accessories like Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor. These devices communicate critical battery voltage and temperature information to your SmartSolar Charge Controllers via Bluetooth, optimizing your system's performance and reliability.
The 3-stage charging process, consisting of Bulk, Absorption, and Float stages, ensures efficient battery charging. This adaptive charging strategy adjusts the duration of the Absorption stage based on the battery's discharge level and maintains batteries at a safe voltage, thus optimizing battery health and ensuring they remain fully charged.
- Bulk Stage: Delivers maximum charge current for rapid battery charging.
- Absorption Stage: Modulates to a constant voltage, reducing current to prevent overcharging.
- Float Stage: Maintains batteries at a lower voltage to preserve their charged state, particularly when solar power is not available at night.
Customize your charging process with the VictronConnect App, selecting from 8 pre-set charge algorithms or creating a fully programmable charge algorithm. This flexibility ensures optimal charging efficiency tailored to your needs. Additionally, activate equalization charging for certain lead-acid batteries to balance cell voltages, further enhancing battery health and performance.
Choose the Victron 12/24V 15A SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 Bluetooth Solar Charge Controller for a highly efficient, user-friendly, and customizable solar charging solution, ensuring your solar system's maximum performance.
