SmartSolar 50A Charge Controller 100/50
The SmartSolar 50A Charge Controller 100/50 is an advanced solar charger designed to gather energy from your solar panels and store it efficiently in your batteries. Utilizing the latest and fastest technology, SmartSolar maximizes energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. This ensures optimal battery health and extends its lifespan.
One of the standout features of the SmartSolar charge controller is its ability to recharge severely depleted batteries. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulphated or otherwise damaged. This capability ensures that even in challenging conditions, your batteries will be brought back to optimal performance.
Bluetooth Smart Built-In
The SmartSolar charge controller comes with built-in Bluetooth Smart technology, providing a wireless solution for setup, monitoring, updates, and synchronization. This feature allows you to manage your solar energy system effortlessly through your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
VE.Direct Connectivity
For those who prefer a wired connection, the VE.Direct port offers seamless integration with devices like the Color Control GX, other GX products, PCs, or other devices. This connection ensures robust data communication for monitoring and control of your solar energy system.
Ultrafast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Especially in conditions of variable light intensity, such as a clouded sky, the ultra-fast MPPT controller significantly improves energy harvest. Compared to PWM charge controllers, it boosts energy harvest by up to 30%, and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers. This efficiency ensures that you get the most out of your solar panels, even in less-than-ideal conditions.
Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection
In situations of partial shading, where two or more maximum power points may exist on the power-voltage curve, conventional MPPTs might lock onto a local MPP, missing the optimal one. The innovative BlueSolar algorithm in the SmartSolar charge controller maximizes energy harvest by locking onto the optimum MPP, ensuring consistent and efficient performance.
Outstanding Conversion Efficiency
The SmartSolar charge controller boasts an exceptional conversion efficiency of over 98%, with no cooling fan required. This high efficiency is maintained even at temperatures up to 40°C (104°F), ensuring reliable performance in a wide range of conditions.
Flexible Charge Algorithm
The charge algorithm of the SmartSolar charge controller is fully programmable, with eight pre-programmed algorithms selectable via a rotary switch. This flexibility allows for precise control and optimization of the charging process, tailored to your specific battery type and requirements.
Extensive Electronic Protection
Safety is a top priority with the SmartSolar charge controller. It includes over-temperature protection, power derating in high-temperature conditions, PV short circuit protection, PV reverse polarity protection, and PV reverse current protection. Additionally, it features an internal temperature sensor that compensates the absorption and float charge voltage for temperature variations.
Optional External Battery Voltage and Temperature Sensing
For enhanced performance, the SmartSolar charge controller supports optional external battery voltage and temperature sensing via Bluetooth. Using a Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor, it can communicate battery voltage and temperature to one or more SmartSolar charge controllers, ensuring optimal charging conditions.
Fully Discharged Battery Recovery Function
Even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts, the SmartSolar charge controller can initiate charging, provided the battery cells are not permanently damaged. It can also reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with an integrated disconnect function, ensuring reliable recovery and performance.
