A solar charge controller is responsible for gathering energy from solar panels and efficiently storing it in batteries. With the use of cutting-edge technology, SmartSolar charge controllers optimize the energy-harvesting process, ensuring a full charge is achieved in the shortest time possible while also preserving battery health and extending its lifespan.
MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology is employed to continuously monitor the voltage and current output of the solar panels. This advanced feature enables the charge controller to extract the maximum available power from the panels, even under partially clouded skies and varying light intensity conditions.
The SmartSolar MPPT charger offers convenient remote monitoring and control capabilities. By utilizing the built-in Bluetooth functionality, users can wirelessly connect their smartphones or other devices to the charger using the VictronConnect app. This allows for easy management and monitoring of the charge controller’s extensive features. Additionally, if the installation is connected to the internet, the Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) grants access to the full power of the MPPT controller from anywhere at any time. Even in remote locations without internet access or phone signals, monitoring can be achieved by pairing the MPPT controller with a LoRaWAN device, offering a long-range wide area network solution.
For enhanced convenience, users have the option to add the SmartSolar Control Display. This display unit can be directly plugged into the MPPT charger, providing real-time monitoring and convenient setup options. It enables users to easily check the status of the charger and battery storage with just a glance.
Overall, the SmartSolar charge controller offers efficient energy utilization, remote monitoring capabilities, and optional display features, making it a versatile and user-friendly solution for solar power systems.
