Common Questions What is MPPT technology and why is it important? MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology constantly monitors the voltage and current output of your solar panels to find the optimal point where they produce maximum power. This is crucial for maximising energy harvest, especially when light intensity is constantly changing due to partial cloud cover or varying sun angles. How does the BatteryLife feature work? The BatteryLife algorithm intelligently manages the load output to prevent prolonged partial states of charge, which can damage lead-acid batteries. If the battery cannot be fully recharged daily, BatteryLife gradually raises the load disconnect voltage until a near 100% recharge is achieved, then modulates it to maintain battery health. Can I monitor this charge controller remotely? Yes, the BlueSolar MPPT 100/15 features a VE.Direct communication port. To enable wireless monitoring and control via the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or other device, you will need to attach an optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. Alternatively, it can connect to a Victron GX device for internet-connected monitoring via the VRM portal. What battery types are compatible with this controller? This MPPT charge controller is compatible with a wide range of battery types, including lead-acid (flooded, GEL, AGM) and LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries. For optimal performance and battery longevity, especially with lithium batteries, a configuration update may be required to set the correct charging parameters. Installation Notes Ensure the battery voltage (12V or 24V) matches your system requirements. The controller auto-detects, but correct battery bank setup is crucial. Always connect the battery to the charge controller first, then connect the solar panels. Disconnect in the reverse order (PV first, then battery). Mount the controller in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to ensure optimal performance and lifespan. Use appropriate cable sizing for both PV and battery connections to minimise voltage drop and maximise efficiency. For detailed installation and safety instructions, always consult the official Victron Energy product manual. Before You Buy Verify your total solar panel array's open circuit voltage (Voc) does not exceed 100V and its short circuit current (Isc) is suitable for a 15A charge controller. Confirm your battery bank voltage (12V or 24V) is compatible with the controller's auto-detection feature. Consider if remote monitoring is required; this BlueSolar model requires an optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle or GX device for wireless connectivity. Ensure you have adequate space for mounting the controller, allowing for proper ventilation. For complex solar setups or if you are unsure about compatibility, it is always recommended to consult a qualified solar installer. All specifications are based on manufacturer data and are subject to change. Always verify compatibility and requirements with your specific system and consult official documentation. This product comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
