MPPT solar charger manual
3. Features
3.1. Automatic battery voltage detection
The solar charger automatically detects supported (e.g 12V, or 24V, or 48V) system voltage (battery voltage) on first power up. If
a different system voltage is required at a later stage, or if the solar charger is connected to a 36V system, this can be manually
configured in the solar charger settings.
3.2. Outstanding MPPT algorithm
Ultra fast MPP tracking
The solar charger contains an ultra fast MPPT controller. This is especially beneficial when the solar light intensity is constantly
changing, as is the case during cloudy weather. Because of the ultra fast MPPT controller, 30% more energy is harvested
compared to solar chargers with a PWM controller and up to 10% more compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Optimal solar yield
The solar charger has an innovative tracking algorithm. It will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP
(Maximum Power Point). If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may be present on the power-voltage
curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP.
3.3. Outstanding conversion efficiency
The solar charger has an outstanding conversion efficiency. The maximum efficiency exceeds 98%. One of the benefits of the
high efficiency is that the solar charger does not have a cooling fan and the maximum output current is guaranteed up to an
ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F).
3.4. Extensive electronic protection
The solar charger is protected against over-temperature. The output is fully rated up to an ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F).
Should the temperature further increase, the output current will be derated.
The solar charger is equipped with PV reverse polarity protection and PV reverse current protection.
3.5. VictronConnect app
The
VictronConnect app
can be used to:
• Monitor the solar charger and view real-time solar and battery data.
• Operate solar charger features.
• Access up to 30 days of historical data and error history.
• Configure solar charger settings.
• Update firmware.
