Victron Energy 45A 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 capabilit

Two AC inputs with integrated transfer switch
The Quattro can be connected to two independent AC sources, for example the public grid and a generator, or two
generators. The Quattro will automatically connect to the active source.
Two AC Outputs
The main output has no-break functionality. The Quattro takes over the supply to the connected loads in the event of a
grid failure or when shore/generator power is disconnected. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that
computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.
The second output is live only when AC is available on one of the inputs of the Quattro. Loads that should not discharge
the battery, like a water heater for example, can be connected to this output.
Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation
Up to 6 Quattro units can operate in parallel. Six units 48/10000/140, for example, will provide 48kW / 60kVA output
power and 840 Amps charging capacity.
Split phase options
Two units can be stacked to provide 120-0-120V, and additional units can be paralleled up to a total of 6 units per
phase, to supply up to 30kW / 36kVA of split phase power.
Alternatively, a split phase AC source can be obtained by connecting our autotransformer (see data sheet on
www.victronenergy.com) to a ‘European’ inverter programmed to supply 240V / 60Hz.
Three phase capability
Three units can be configured for three phase output. But that’s not all: up to 6 sets of three units can be parallel
connected to provide 144kW / 180kVA inverter power and more than 2500A charging capacity.
PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator, shore side or grid power
The Quattro is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the generator or shore side
supply (16A per 5kVA Quattro at 230VAC). A current limit can be set on each AC input. The Quattro will then take
account of other AC loads and use whatever is spare for charging, thus preventing the generator or mains supply from
being overloaded.
PowerAssist – Boosting shore or generator power
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension allowing the Quattro to supplement the
capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required only for a limited period, the Quattro will
make sure that insufficient mains or generator power is immediately compensated for by power from the battery. When
the load reduces, the spare power is used to recharge the battery.
Solar energy: AC power available even during a grid failure
The Quattro can be used in off grid as well as grid connected PV and other alternative energy systems.
Loss of mains detection software is available.
System configuring
– In case of a stand-alone application, if settings have to be changed, this can be done in a matter of minutes with
a DIP switch setting procedure.
– Parallel and three phase applications can be configured with VE.Bus Quick Configure and VE.Bus System
Configurator software.
– Off grid, grid interactive and self-consumption applications, involving grid-tie inverters and/or MPPT Solar
Chargers can be configured with Assistants (dedicated software for specific applications).
On-site Monitoring and control
Several options are available: Battery Monitor, Multi Control Panel, Color Control GX or other GX devices, smartphone or
tablet (Bluetooth Smart), laptop or computer (USB or RS232).
Remote Monitoring and control
Color Control GX or other GX devices.
Data can be stored and displayed on our VRM (Victron Remote Management) website, free of charge.
Remote configuring
When connected to the Ethernet, systems with a Color Control GX or other GX device can be accessed and settings can
be changed remotely

The Victron MPPT 75/15 (MPN SCC010015050R) is part of the BlueSolar MPPT charge controller familiy and provides ultra-fast powertracking which extends your solar system’s output.

Next generation MPP-tracker
Especially on clouded days with changing light intensity a MPPT controler increases your system output by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers. Moreover the 75/15 comes with further innovative technologies.

Programming, real-time data and logging
Latest Apple and Android devices (smartphones, tablets,…) can be connected via VE.Direct over Bluetooth Smart Dongles and the MPPT App or via the GX Color control.
Please note that the Bluetooth Smart dongle and the GX Color Control are not included in the delivery scope but available separately.

Important features:

• Ultra-fast MPP-tracker ensures highest possible outcome even when it is cloudy
• Integrated VE.Direct data port for connecting devices like the Bluetooth Smart Dongle or the GX Color Control panel
• Suitable for 12V and 24V systems
• Rated charging amperage: 15A
• 200W max. PV-performance at 12V and 400W at 24V
• 15A consumer output with auto-shutdown at imminent battery undervoltage (deep discharge protection)
• Reverse polarity protection
• Multistep adaptive charging algorithm
• Battery charging algorithm programmable
• Integrated battery life algorithm extends battery life when activated and all consumers are connected to the consumer output
• Day/night-time control and dimming options

VE.Direct data port integrated
VE.Direct transfers important parameters to all devices connected to the charge controller and allows communication to equipment such as the Bluetooth Smart Dongle or the GX Color Control. The VE.Direct data port is meant for products where a full canbus integration would produce extreme costs. Please check our Victron brand section for more information about VE.Direct.

Integrated battery life algorithm extends battery life
If the charge controller can’t manage to fully charge the battery within a day the battery status switches constantly between “partly charged” and “end of discharge”. This operation mode (no regular charging) is ideal for small lead batteries, for lead-acid batteries otherwise irregular charging and discharging can cause severe damage already after several months.
The battery life algorithm checks the battery’s charging level and heightens the switch-off threshold from day to day. That means that connected consumers are switched off earlier until the produced energy is sufficient for a full battery charge of 100%. From this point on the threshold is modulated in a way that a full charge can be reached once a week.
