Victron Energy 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller

A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximizes this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.

By constantly monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels, MPPT technology ensures that every drop of available power is rinsed out of your panels, and harvested for storage. The advantage of this is most noticeable when the sky is partially clouded, and light intensity is constantly changing.

Remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger with built-in Bluetooth by pairing it with your smartphone or other device via VictronConnect. If your installation is connected to the internet Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both services are free to use. For remote installations – even when there is no internet connection or phone signal nearby – you may be able to monitor your MPPT by Bluetooth-pairing with a LoRaWAN (long-range wide area network) device, available optionally.

By adding the SmartSolar Control Display you will be able to check the status of your Charger and battery-storage at a glance. Simply plug it into the face of your MPPT charger to provide you with real-time monitoring and set-up capabilities.

Victron BlueSolar Charge Controllers with screw- or MC4 PV connection MPPT 150/60 tr

Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.

Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions

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.
The innovative BlueSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.

Outstanding conversion efficiency

No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%.

Flexible charge algorithm

Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on our website), and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details).

Extensive electronic protection

Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high.
PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection.
PV reverse current protection.

Internal temperature sensor

Compensates absorption and float charge voltage for temperature.

Real-time data display options

• Color Control GX or other GX devices: see the Venus documents on our website.
• A smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device: VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed.

Tired of your normal plastic cooler box?
Why not try out our stylish Stainless Steel cooler boxes!

Not only do they look good but with a 65 mm foam insulation they last 10 times longer than your regular cooler box.

Synapse Offgrid Inverters:

Comes equipped with a unique operating system and a built-in MPPT for solar applications. In addition, there is an optional AC input that will allow a battery bank to be charged by a grid or generator connection.

These units are not capable of feeding back into the grid. Perfect for a start-up system to reduce the effects of load shedding.

• Pure Sine wave inverter
• Battery equalization function to optimize battery performance
• Assembled with an internal anti-dust kit for harsh environments
