Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/45

The Smartsolar MPPT 150/45 from Victron Energy (MPN SCC115045212) is part of the latest generation of smart solar controllers from the premium Dutch manufacturer; it handles a whopping 45A of solar power and can operate flexibly with 12/24/36/48 V batteries. Ultra-fast power tracking and automatic power point tracking in partial shading are just two of the many highlights of this new class of devices. The SmartSolar 150/45 is also available in a version with MC4 connectors on the solar side of the charge controller instead of screw terminals. Additionally, this model supports parallel operation with other controllers of the same type.

Compared to the BlueSolar series, the SmartSolar family features a Bluetooth module that is already permanently integrated into the controller, making the Smart Dongle unnecessary for this device. The MPPT WireBox-M from Victron Energy is an optional accessory that serves as the ideal complement to your SmartSolar charge controller. It securely covers the cable entries and terminal blocks of the controller, protecting them from external influences and accidental contact.

Smart data communication via VE.Direct and lightning-fast Bluetooth

Modern Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, MacBooks, and other devices can be connected thanks to the built-in Bluetooth module and the free Victron Connect app. The app can then be used to configure many important functions of the MPPT 150/45 SmartSolar controller. Of course, it also provides all key parameters, such as the current solar yield, in real time.

Automatic detection of the maximum power point in partial shading

In the event of partial shading, there may be two or more maximum power points (MPP) on the current-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock onto a local MPP. However, this may not be the optimal MPP. The SmartSolar 150/45’s innovative algorithm will always maximize energy yield by locking onto the optimal MPP.

Latest-Generation High-Speed MPP Tracker

Especially under overcast skies, when light intensity is constantly changing, an extremely fast MPPT controller improves energy yield by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.

Comprehensive electronic protection

• Protection against reverse battery polarity
• PV backfeed protection
• Protection against device overheating
• Short-circuit protection
• Protection against reversed polarity of the PV connection

The VE.Direct data communication port

In text mode, VE.Direct transmits all important parameters every second to other devices paired with the charge controller, enabling communication with additional devices such as the GX Color Control system panel. The VE.Direct connection is intended for products where full CAN bus integration (VE.Direct) would be too costly. You can find more information about VE.Direct in our Victron Energy brand shop.
