Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100V 50A Charge Controller

The Victron SmartSolar MPPT is a 50A solar charge controller accepting up to 100V PV input, with built-in Bluetooth and a VE.Direct port.

Ultra-fast maximum power point tracking is what distinguishes this from a slower controller, and it matters most under broken cloud. Panel voltage and current shift rapidly as cloud passes, and a controller that tracks slowly leaves usable energy behind on every change. On a boat with limited panel area that adds up across a day.

BatteryLife logic protects against chronic partial charging by adjusting the load-disconnect threshold when the array has not managed to return the battery to full. That is the failure mode that quietly kills batteries on solar installations, where the bank never quite reaches full and sulfates over months.

A programmable charging algorithm gives control over battery behavior, and an internal temperature sensor compensates absorption and float voltage as the controller warms. The load output is short-circuit protected and disconnects at a preset low-battery threshold, and optional Smart Battery Sense supplies external voltage and temperature data over Bluetooth.
