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.The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulphated or otherwise damaged.Key Features• Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT).• Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions.• Outstanding conversion efficiency.• Natural convection cooling.• Automatic battery voltage recognition.• Flexible charge algorithm.• Over temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high.Sizing options:• Suitable for a variety of battery voltages. Most models connect to 12, 24, and 48V batteries, some only connect to 12 and 24V batteries, or only to 48V batteries.• Charge currents rating from 10A all the way up to 100A.• Maximum PV array Voc voltages ranging from 75V up to 250V.• Multiple chargers can be used in parallel, for large systems we recommend to use the models with a VE.Can communication port.PV terminal options:• TR - one positive and one negative screw terminal.• MC4 - 3 pairs of paralleled MC4 connectors.Bluetooth:• SmartSolar models have Bluetooth.Display options:• VictronConnect Application. Connects via Bluetooth or via the VE.Direct - USB interface• MPPT Control. Connects to all models via a VE.Direct cable• SmartSolar Control Display. Plugs directly into the housing of the larger models• GX device• VRM website (GX monitoring device needed)Communication ports:• VE.Direct - all models• VE.Direct and VE.Can - limited models. VE.Can is especially suitable for systems with multiple solar chargers. All units are simply “daisy chained” to each other with a single RJ45 cable between each unit and also between the las unit in the chain and the a GX monitoring device.Temperature sensor options:• Internally.• Externally via the Smart Battery Sense.Load output options:• Physical output - On the 10, 15 and 20A models.• Virtual output - via VE.Direct TX digital output cable and the BatteryProtect or a solid-state relay.Firmware update options:• Local updates via the VictronConnect Application (via Bluetooth or USB-VE.Direct interface)• Remote updates via VRM website and a GX deviceOptional accessories:• VictronConnect Application (free download)• Wire boxes, to cover and protect the terminals. See table on page 2 for wire box types• Control and display panels: MPPT control or SmartSolar control)• GX monitoring device (CCGX, Venus GX, Octo GX or Cerbo GX)• Data cables: VE.Direct cable, RJ45 Cable (VE.Can models only), USB-VE.Direct interface• External control cables: TX cable, non-inverting cable• Bluetooth dongle (for non-smart models)More information:• To access the above-mentioned documents or information: press the search button on our websiteand enter the appropriate search word.• For connection to a Color Control GX or other GX device see:https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:start.
