Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 Solar Charge Controller

The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 accepts up to 100V of PV input and delivers up to 30A of charging, with Bluetooth and VE.Direct.

BatteryLife is the logic worth understanding here, and it exists for a specific and common situation. On a system that cannot fully recharge every day, a fixed load-disconnect threshold lets the bank sit at partial charge indefinitely and sulfate. BatteryLife progressively raises the disconnect point until the battery does get fully charged.

That protects a bank on a boat with more load than solar, which is most boats that fit solar as an afterthought. The controller can also manage connected loads directly to prevent excessive discharge.

One hundred volts of PV input is the entry point in the SmartSolar range, suiting a short series string of two or three panels. Ultra-fast tracking continually adjusts panel operating voltage, Bluetooth handles setup and monitoring through VictronConnect, and VE.Direct gives a wired connection to GX devices and computers.
