Description

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/60 Solar Charge Controller by Victron is one of the best MPPT solar charge controllers on the market. SmartSolar controllers offer built-in BlueTooth connectivity, allowing you to program & monitor your system from your smart phone. 60A of energy processing, and large input voltage range, allows for larger arrays with a single controller. Compact, highly efficient, and built tough for all environmental conditions. Available with terminal block or MC4 connectors.

SmartSolar MPPT 150/60 Features…

Bluetooth Smart is Built-In
The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronize SmartSolar Charge Controllers.

Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.

Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions
If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points 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 BlueSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.

Outstanding conversion efficiency
No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%.

Flexible charge algorithm
Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on our website), and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details).

Extensive electronic protection
Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high. PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection. PV reverse current protection.

Internal temperature sensor
Compensates absorption and float charge voltage for temperature. Real-time data display options – Color Control GX or other GX devices: see the Venus documents on our website. – A smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device: VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed.

Monitor Your System via BlueTooth App on your phone… no internet required

• • Status (Live Data): Displays real-time metrics including:
    • • Solar Panel Output: Power (Watts), Voltage, and Current (Amps).
      • Battery: Voltage, charging current, and the current charging state (e.g., Bulk, Absorption, or Float).
      • Yield & Loads: Total energy (kWh) produced today and, if applicable, the current flowing to the DC load output.

  • History: Provides a deep dive into your system’s performance, usually storing up to 30 days of data:
    • • Daily Yield: Total power harvested per day.
      • Maximums: The maximum photovoltaic power (PMAX) and maximum panel voltage reached.
      • Battery Data: Minimum and maximum daily battery voltages.
      • Errors: Any error codes or warnings triggered during the charging cycle.

  • Trends: Offers a graphical, historical view of your system. Stored trends record data every 30 minutes for approximately 46 days.
