Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Solar Charge Controller 100V, 15A, 12/24V

Great unit. Bluetooth interface is OK, standard Victron fare. Works well with two 100w panels in series, the programmable charge profile is very useful. MPPT is great tech, and well executed with this box.

Victron for the win ! It’s a no brainer, easy to manage through the app . I use multiple charge controllers in multiple locations for years . Won’t use any other brand . Never had a failure . (Knock on wood)

I installed this in my off-grid workshop a year ago. It has worked flawlessly. Great value.

With the phone app and Bluetooth connectivity, this controller is the best I've ever used. I was using other controllers with the digital screens until the purchase. The app provides a significantly better experience than any digital on-controller screen could. Victron is my new go-to brand. This controller is used to manage the electric fence around my cattle pastures - I need something reliable to keep the cattle in and the wild hogs out.

This solar charge controller comes with Bluetooth and is a bit higher in price than the competition, but for good reason. Victron makes high quality products and backs them up with a 5-year warranty and support. You can adjust the amount of power it delivers to your batteries too. I have 800w of panels in a somewhat low light area and I'm able to bring in a solid 430w of power at the 15A charge setting (max for this controller) even in low light. Just don't go over the Voltage rating. 100V is a HARD limit, meaning if you surpass it, it will damage the controller. I'll need to upgrade it soon so I can get all the available power from my panels. I also love the integration between the different products and the open source nature of the company. The fact I can use a Raspberry Pi to run Victron's Venus OS and any good quality USB to TTY serial adapter to connect it all is a HUGE win for Victron. The phone app is also well designed and they even offer free logging of your data to their VRM web portal. I'll be coming back to Victron for more stuff in the near future.

Great Product

My first Victron charger was the Victron Energy Blue Smart IP65 Smart Car Battery Charger 12V 5A; it is so superior to my other chargers that I became a fan, and bought this one for charging all of my 12V batteries with solar; now it is out-performing my other MPPT controllers. The App makes up for not having a screen, and is useful for monitoring how many amps are going in to the battery so I know what I've used on the electric motors on my boat, and the charging parameters can be adjusted if necessary to better fit a particular type of battery. I use them both on LifePO4 and Lead acid, the battery type can be adjusted in the app.

This is a good little MPPT Controller, Bluetooth, efficient and does what it's supposed to do . It also has a Load Output to prevent from draining your battery flat. My only gripe is the specs say the terminals can accept 10AWG or 6mm2. While a bare, stranded 10AWG wire will fit, if you use Ferrules, it will not fit in the terminal. The largest wire this controller will take with a Ferrule installed is about 12AWG. I use Ferrules on ALL connections that use a clamp down terminal. I never allow bare strand wire to be clamped down by the terminal. If you do this, it will smash the wire, spreading it apart, and not allow for a secure connection. Yes, it will work but, with the amount of vibration in a Boat or RV, the use of Ferrules will make for a more secure connection. I returned the 100-15 and purchased a 100-30 Smart Solar MPPT. The 100-30 is the smallest Controller that will accept 6AWG Ferrules. I use 4AWG wire and crimp on 6AWG Ferrules. Works perfect and when cut apart to inspect, the copper is so tight, it's almost welded together from the amount of force the ferrules crimp down. FYI, the wire and crimp tools I use are from TemCo. While this controller doesn't need anything bigger than 12AWG wire, I always oversize my conductors for low loss and room for expansion (Future Proofed). Hope this helps someone make the proper choice for their application.

Installé sur mon portail motorisé, ce Victron fait le job sans broncher. Le suivi Bluetooth est super pratique pour vérifier la charge en un clin d'œil.

great controller Bluetooth is a great feature, bought 3 all working faultless

Very good quality

High end unit, replaced an old pwm and the system got muck more effective, surpasses the old peak when cloudy, easily. The bluetooth is good as well.

Perfecto funcionamiento, marca con garantías, no merece la pena comprar marcas no reconocidas, sin duda la mejor elección y una app con mucha información
