MPPT solar controller Victron Energy SmartSolar 150/35

Product detailed description

Victron Energy's MPPT solar controllers are among the absolute world leaders in this field. Ultra fast MPPT tracking Particularly under overcast skies with continuous changes in light intensity, solar gains with this controller are 30% higher compared to conventional PWM controllers or 10% higher compared to slow MPPT controllers. Especially with partial shading, two or more points of maximum output can be given. Conventional MPPT controllers tend to maintain power at a local power point, but this may not correspond to the optimum (maximum) power point. The complete and detailed controller setup can be programmed via PC using the VE.direct to USB cable. Detailed configuration instructions can be found at victronenergy.com/live/ve.direct:mpptprefs Option to connect an external Bluetooth Smart Dongle adapter The BlueSolar MPPT controller range allows the connection of an external Bluetooth adapter called Smart Dongle This external BT adapter brings the ability to connect your smart phone/tablet to your solar controller. You can monitor many system parameters and historical statistics for the last 30 days. You also have the possibility to make adjustments to the operating parameters. The delivery does not include an external Smart Dongle adapter Adaptive three-stage charging 1. fast Charging (Bulk) 2. absorption (Absorption) 3. maintenance (Float). Select from eight pre-programmed absorption and holding voltage values using a rotary switch. The length of absorption is determined by the voltage value before the start of a new charge cycle (morning). This has a positive effect on the full recharge of the battery and its lifetime. The maximum allowed panel power for 12 V systems is 500 Wp, for 24 V systems 1000 Wp and for 48 V systems 2000 Wp. If these values are exceeded, the controller will automatically reduce the incoming power from the panels to acceptable values to avoid damage. The voltage from the panels must exceed the battery voltage by 5 V for the controller to start working and charging the battery. The controller charges until the voltage from the panels is 1 V higher than the battery voltage. For a 12 V battery, we recommend panels with a minimum of 32 cells and a maximum of 108 cells (panels in series). It is therefore possible to charge a 12 V battery with panels with an operating voltage of 24 V. For 24 V systems, we recommend panels with a minimum of 72 cells and a maximum of 108 cells. The purpose is to achieve sufficient voltage to charge the battery efficiently and fully. BatteryLife algorithm Adaptive charging to extend battery life. The controller continuously monitors the battery charge level and day by day gradually increases the voltage level at which the load is disconnected until the absorption voltage (fully charged battery) is reached. This is followed by a drop in the voltage level again, at which point the load is disconnected. In this way, the battery can be fully recharged about once a week even with reduced solar gains and higher loads, which will have a positive effect on the lifetime of the battery. This is an optional feature. In addition, a programmable algorithm for charging the battery is also available. Built-in protection The internal electronic components are protected by a resin coating against the elements and for long life. It thus offers an increased resistance of IP43 for electronic components and IP22 for connection connectors. Designed for vertical positioning on a non-combustible substrate, with wiring from below. The controller includes an internal temperature sensor for correct adjustment of the charging voltage. Note: The maximum void voltage (referred to as Voc) of the connected solar panels must not exceed 100V (note: as the outside temperature drops, the voltage of the solar panels increases). LED indication light - Blue BULK LED - lights up when the controller is connected to the battery - Blue absorption LED - lights up when the fast (bulk) charging is complete and the absorption phase has been entered - Blue float LED - illuminates when absorption charging is complete and transitioning to maintenance charging. Other features - Extended electronic protection. Protection against overheating, short circuit and re-polarity of PV panels. - When installing, always connect the battery first and then the panels. - Automatic detection of system voltage 12, 24V on the battery side. - Internal temperature sensor for temperature and voltage compensation of charging voltage. Selectable voltage values for load disconnection and connection Four outputs are present to the left of the battery wiring connection. By combining them together using a jumper, the desired method of disconnecting/connecting the load and charging the battery is achieved: 1. No jumper - selecting the so called BatteryLife algorithm, i.e. the way in which the controller periodically tries to recharge the battery to its full state. The connection and disconnection voltage for the load is not constant, but changes depending on the current state of charge of the battery. It significantly extends the life of the battery, especially in systems where the power consumption is higher compared to its production. 2. Bridge (jumper) inserted between 3rd and 4th pin - Load shedding voltage of 11.1 V (12 V systems) or 22.2 V (24 V systems) - Load reconnection voltage 13.1 V (12 V systems) or 26.2 V (24 V systems) 3. Bridge (jumper) inserted between 2nd and 3rd pin - Load disconnect voltage 11.8 V (12 V systems) or 23.6 V (24 V systems) - Load reconnection voltage 14.0 V (12 V systems) or 28.0 V (24 V systems) The load connection output can also be used to control (on/off) selected types of Victron inverters that are connected directly to the battery as standard. The SINUS Phoenix 12/180, 24/180, 12/350, 24/350, SINUX Phoenix C series models and the MultiPlus C inverter/charger require an inverter remote control device; the SINUS Phoenix 12/800, 24/800, 12/1200 and 24/1200 inverter models do not require this interface. See the wiring diagrams in the photo gallery.
