MPPT solar charge controller | 30A / 12V / 24V batteries / max. input 100V DC
Ultra-fast MPPT | max. efficiency 98% | Flexible charging algorithms | Bluetooth Smart | VE.Direct
The SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 is supplied with energy via solar modules and then stores it in batteries. Using the latest and fastest technology, the SmartSolar maximises this energy production and intelligently directs it to fully charge the batteries in as short a time as possible. Up to 440W of solar power can be used for a 12V battery system, with a 24V battery system the connectable solar power is doubled. This makes it ideal for self-sufficient power supply using solar energy in motorhomes, caravans, expedition vehicles or boats. The SmartSolar maintains the functionality of the battery and thus extends its service life.
It even recharges a heavily discharged battery and can operate with a battery voltage of just 0 volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulphated or otherwise damaged.
To increase the charging current, several BlueSolar MPPT charge controllers can be connected to one battery bank.
Integrated Bluetooth Smart
Thanks to the Bluetooth integrated in the MPPT solar charge controller 100/30, the use of a Bluetooth dongle is not necessary.The wireless solution for setting, monitoring and updating the controller using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices and for displaying all solar values and historical data.
VE.Direct
You can use this interface for a wired data connection to a GX device, such as the Cerbo GX MK2 or Colour Control GX. Data can then be retrieved and displayed in real time via this interface.
Automatic detection of the battery voltage
The 30A SmartSolar MPPT automatically adjusts itself to a 12V or 24V battery system.
Ultra fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
By using Ultra fast MPPT technology (maximum power point tracking), the BluePower MPPT solar charge controller series can increase the charging current by up to 30% compared to charge controllers with conventional PWM technology (pulse width modulation) and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers. The advantages of a fast MPPT controller are particularly noticeable when the sky is overcast and the light intensity is constantly changing. The optimum operating point of the solar modules also changes constantly due to different factors (module temperature, solar radiation, etc.). The MPPT controller adapts to this and always works at the optimum operating point of the solar modules, thus supplying the maximum energy to the batteries
Advanced maximum power point detection with partial shading
In the case of partial shading, there may be two or more maximum power points (MPP) on the current-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to adjust to a local MPP. However, this may not be the optimum MPP. The innovative algorithm of the BlueSolar device will always maximise the energy yield by adjusting to the optimum MPP.
Excellent efficiency
No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency 98 %. Full output current up to 40 °C (104°F).
Flexible charging algorithms for all common battery types
Eight pre-programmed algorithms, the voltage profiles for the different battery types (lead-acid, AGM, GEL, LiFePO4 etc., see manual for more information) can be selected via a rotary knob.
Adaptive three-step charging
The SmartSolar MPPT charge controller is configured for a three-stage charging process:
Constant current - Constant voltage - Float voltage
Constant current phase
During this phase, the controller supplies as much charging current as possible to charge the batteries quickly.
Constant voltage phase
When the battery voltage reaches the constant voltage setting, the controller switches to constant voltage mode. If only weak discharges occur, the constant voltage time is kept short to avoid overcharging the battery. After a deep discharge, the constant voltage phase is automatically extended to ensure that the battery is fully charged. The constant voltage phase is terminated as soon as the charging current falls below 2A.
Charge conservation phase
During this phase, trickle charge voltage is applied to the battery to maintain it in a fully charged state.
Comprehensive electronic protection
Overheating protection and load reduction at high temperatures.protection against PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity.PV reverse current protection.
Internal temperature sensor
Equalises constant and float charge voltages according to the ambient temperature.
Remote switching on and off
The MPPT controller can optionally be remotely controlled via a VE.Direct non-inverting cable for remote on/off switching (ASS030550300). The HIGH input state (Vi > 8 V) switches the controller on and the LOW input state (Vi < 2 V, or free floating (open circuit)) switches it off.
LED displays
- Blue LED (Bulk LED) Constant current: lights up when the battery is connected. Switches off when the constant voltage has been reached.
- Yellow LED (absorption LED) Constant voltage: lights up when the constant voltage has been reached. Switches off when the end of the constant voltage phase has been reached.
- Green LED (Float LED) charge retention voltage: lights up when the solar charger has switched to the charge retention phase.
The detailed LED code description can be found in the manual.
