The search results confirm the specifications and features provided in the original product description. Key verified details: * **Model:** Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/35 (SCC020035000) * **Brand:** Victron Energy * **Product Type:** Solar Charge Controller * **Voltage:** 12/24/48V auto select (36V via software) * **Rated Charge Current:** 35A * **Max PV Open Circuit Voltage:** 150V absolute maximum, 145V start-up and operating maximum * **Nominal PV Power:** 12V: 500W; 24V: 1000W; 36V: 1500W; 48V: 2000W (The input only listed 12V: 500W, but the search results provide for all voltages, which is better to include). * **Max. PV Short Circuit Current:** 40A (from input, some sources say 35A for 150/35, but the input is consistent with other sources for "Max.

COMMON QUESTIONS What is MPPT and why is it important? MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking. It's an electronic tracking system that finds the optimal voltage and current at which solar panels can produce maximum power. This is crucial because solar panel output varies with temperature and sunlight intensity. An MPPT controller, like the BlueSolar 150/35, can improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to older PWM controllers, especially in cloudy or low-light conditions. Can I monitor this charge controller remotely? Yes, the BlueSolar MPPT 150/35 features a VE.Direct communication port. For wired monitoring, it can connect to Victron's ColorControl GX or other GX devices. For wireless monitoring via a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device, a separate VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle is required. What battery types are compatible? The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/35 is compatible with a wide range of battery types, including Lead-Acid (Flooded, GEL, AGM) and Lithium-ion. Its flexible charge algorithm can be configured to suit specific battery requirements, with eight pre-programmed options and full programmability. Is this model suitable for 36V battery systems? While the controller automatically detects 12V, 24V, and 48V systems, 36V battery systems can be supported by selecting the appropriate setting via Victron's software tool. INSTALLATION NOTES Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical regulations. Mount the charge controller vertically on a non-flammable surface, ensuring adequate clearance (at least 10cm above and below) for optimal cooling. Position the controller within 3 metres of the battery, but never directly above it, to prevent damage from battery gassing. Ensure correct wiring polarity for both the PV array and battery connections to prevent damage to the unit and connected components. Use appropriate fuse protection for the battery supply as specified in the product manual (e.g., 40A-45A fuse for the MPPT 150/35). BEFORE YOU BUY Verify your battery bank voltage (12V, 24V, or 48V) to ensure compatibility. Confirm your total PV array power and open circuit voltage (Voc) are within the controller's limits (max 150V Voc). Consider if remote monitoring is required; a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle is needed for wireless connectivity. Review the product manual for detailed installation instructions and safety guidelines. Always consult the official Victron Energy documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date specifications and installation guidance. This product comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
