Introduction; Battery Voltage, Pv Voltage And Current Rating - Victron energy SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 Manual

2. Introduction

The Victron Energy SmartSolar charge controller is an ultra fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar charger with an
outstanding conversion efficiency and is suitable for a wide range of battery and PV voltages.

2.1. Battery voltage, PV voltage and current rating

The solar charger can charge a lower nominal-voltage battery from a higher nominal voltage PV array. The controller will
automatically adjust to the battery voltage and will charge the battery with a current up to its rated current.
The product name of the solar charger incorporates the maximum PV voltage and the maximum battery charge current.
For example: A 100/30 model has a maximum PV voltage of 100V and can charge the battery with a maximum of 30A.
The table below indicates the maximum PV voltage and maximum battery charge current of the solar chargers that are covered
