Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/85 Solar Charge Controller

Description

If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points of the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/85 Solar Charge Controller may be  present on the power-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the  optimum MPP. The innovative SmartSolar algorithm will always maximize energy  harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.

The charge algorithm is fully programmable with eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch. It includes over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high. The internal temperature sensor compensates absorption and float charge voltage for temperature.

First of all what is a charge controller?

A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.

MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking

By constantly monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels, MPPT technology ensures that every drop of available power is rinsed out of your panels, and harvested for storage. The advantage of this is most noticeable when the sky is partially clouded, and light intensity is constantly changing.

Remote Monitoring and Control

Remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger with built-in bluetooth by pairing it with your smartphone or other device via VictronConnect. If your installation is connected to the internet Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both services are free to use. For remote installations – even when there is no internet connection or phone signal nearby – you may be able to monitor your MPPT by bluetooth-pairing with a LoRaWAN(long-range wide area network) device, available optionally.

Optional SmartSolar Control Display

By adding the SmartSolar Control Display you will be able to check the status of your Charger and battery-storage at a glance. Simply plug it into the face of your MPPT charger to provide you with real-time monitoring and set-up capabilities.

Victron Connect

The Victron Connect lets you get live status information and configure any Victron product which either have Bluetooth built-in, or are connected to a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart Dongle.
