Description
SmartSolar 50A Charge Controller 100/50
The SmartSolar 50A Charge Controller 100/50 is an advanced solar charger designed to efficiently gather energy from your solar panels and store it in your batteries. Utilizing the latest and fastest MPPT technology, SmartSolar maximizes energy harvest, intelligently driving it to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time, ensuring optimal battery health and extending 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 for Wireless Management
Effortless Monitoring and Control
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 Seamless Integration
Wired Connection for Enhanced Monitoring
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, providing peace of mind and reliable operation.
Ultrafast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology
Maximizing Energy Harvest in Any Condition
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.
Outstanding Conversion Efficiency and Safety Features
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. The controller includes extensive electronic protection features, such as over-temperature protection, power derating in high-temperature conditions, PV short circuit protection, and PV reverse polarity protection.
Fully Discharged Battery Recovery and Advanced Charging Algorithms
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. The charge algorithm of the SmartSolar charge controller is fully programmable, with eight pre-programmed algorithms selectable via a rotary switch, allowing for precise control and optimization of the charging process tailored to your specific battery type and requirements.
