***Please note: these charge controllers will have a maximum charge voltage of 60V, and as such are not suitable for use with certain types of lead acid battery that require periodic equalisation at voltages above 60V***
The SmartSolar MPPT RS solar charge controllers are Victrons solution for systems with large series connected PV arrays charging 48V DC battery banks. This product is perfect for large off-grid, and grid connected battery systems.
Available in a 5.76kW(this listing) and 11.52kW model(coming soon), features include a wide 80-450 VDC operating solar voltage input, independent tracking inputs, full connectivity, isolated PV connections, display screen, fully programmable battery charging parameters and active cooling. The new metal case design and fully covered electrical connections improve the safety and modernise the presentation in line with the latest suite of Victron products.
Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Solar Charge Controller The MPPT RS SmartSolar is a 48V Solar charge controller with up to 450VDC PV input, 100A Output. It is used in on-grid and off-grid solar applications where maximum battery charging power is required.
Multiple independent MPPT tracking inputs With multiple MPPT trackers, you can optimize your solar panel design for maximum performance for your specific location.
Isolated PV connections for additional safety Full galvanic isolation between PV and battery connections provide additional overall system safety.
Wide MPPT voltage range 80 – 450 VDC PV operating range, with a 120VDC PV startup voltage.
Light weight, efficient and quiet Thanks to high frequency technology and a new design this powerful charger weighs only 7.9 kg for the 100A model. In addition to this it has an excellent efficiency, low standby power, and a very quiet operation.
Display and Bluetooth The display reads battery, and controller parameters. The parameters can be accessed with a smartphone or other Bluetooth enabled device. In addition, Bluetooth can be used to set up the system and to change settings with VictronConnect.
PV Isolation resistance monitoring for peace of mind at higher voltages The MPPT RS continuously monitors the PV array and can detect if there are faults that reduce the isolation of the panels to unsafe levels.
VE.Can and VE.Direct port for connection to a GX device for system monitoring, data logging, and remote firmware updates. VE.Can allows for up to 25 units to be connected together in parallel and synchronize their charging.
I/O Connections Programmable Relay, temperature sensor, auxiliary, digital input and voltage sensor connections. The remote input can accept the Victron smallBMS, and other BMS with allow-to-charge signal.
