MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology constantly monitors your solar panels' voltage and current output to find the optimal power point. This maximises energy harvest, especially in changing light conditions, improving efficiency by up to 30% compared to older PWM controllers. Can I monitor the SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 remotely? Yes, the SmartSolar 100/30 has built-in Bluetooth Smart. You can connect to it wirelessly using the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet to monitor real-time data, view historical performance, and configure settings. For internet-connected systems, the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal offers global access. What battery types are compatible with this charge controller? The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 is compatible with a wide range of battery types, including AGM, GEL, Flooded, and Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries. Its flexible and programmable charge algorithm allows you to tailor charging profiles to suit your specific battery chemistry. What is the purpose of the Load Output? The intelligent Load Output function protects your batteries from being run 'flat' by automatically disconnecting non-essential loads when the battery voltage drops below a configurable level. The unique BatteryLife algorithm then works to ensure the battery is fully recharged daily, extending its overall lifespan. Installation Notes Ensure the charge controller is installed in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Always connect the battery to the charge controller first, before connecting the solar panels, and disconnect solar panels first when dismantling. Use appropriate cable gauges for PV and battery connections to minimise voltage drop and ensure safe operation. For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified professional. Refer to the official Victron Energy manual for detailed installation instructions and wiring diagrams. Before You Buy Verify your battery bank voltage (12V or 24V) matches the controller's auto-select capability. Confirm your solar panel array's total open-circuit voltage (Voc) does not exceed the controller's maximum PV input voltage of 100V. Calculate your total PV power to ensure it falls within the nominal PV power ratings (440W for 12V, 880W for 24V) for optimal charging. Consider your system's total load and ensure the 30A charge current is sufficient for your battery charging needs. For advanced system integration, check compatibility with other Victron GX devices if you plan to expand your setup. All specifications are based on manufacturer data and are subject to change. Always refer to the official product manual for the most accurate and up-to-date information before purchase and installation.
