Victron Energy SmartSolar Charge Controller MPPT RS 450/100 48V 100A

Achieve full charge in the shortest possible time

A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, the Victron Energy SmartSolar Charge Controller maximises this energy harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life. The MPPT RS model is perfect for large off-grid, and grid-connected battery systems with large series-connected PV arrays charging 48 V DC battery banks.

Features include a wide 80-450 VDC operating solar voltage input, independent tracking inputs, full connectivity, isolated PV connections, a display screen, fully programmable battery charging parameters and active cooling. The new metal case design and fully covered electrical connections improve safety and modernise the presentation in line with the latest suite of Victron products.

MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking
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. MPPT RS continuously monitors the PV array and can detect if there are faults that reduce the isolation of the panels to unsafe levels.

Lightweight, efficient and quiet
Thanks to high-frequency technology and a new design this powerful charger weighs only 7.9 kg. In addition to this, it has 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
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.
