Bluetooth Smart built-in:
The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
 
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 (MPP) 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 SmartSolar 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.
 
Optional external battery voltage, temperature and current sensing via Bluetooth:
A Smart Battery Sense, a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor or a SmartShunt can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature (and current, in case of a BMV 712 or a SmartShunt) to one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
 
Synchronized parallel charging with Bluetooth:
Up to 10 units can be synchronized with Bluetooth.
 
Fully discharged battery recovery function:
Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with integrated disconnect function.
 
VE.Direct:
For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices.
 
Remote on-off:
To connect for example to a VE.BUS BMS.
 
Programmable relay:
Can be programmed to trip on an alarm, or other events.
 
Optional: SmartSolar pluggable LCD display:
Simply remove the rubber seal that protects the plug on the front of the controller, and plug-in the display.
