SmartSolar 85A Charge Controller 150/85
Optimized Solar Energy Management
The SmartSolar 85A Charge Controller 150/85 is a state-of-the-art solar charger designed to maximize the energy harvested from your solar panels. With its cutting-edge MPPT VE.Can technology, this controller efficiently converts solar energy into power that optimally charges your battery bank, ensuring consistent energy supply for your off-grid system.
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 ensures that even in challenging conditions, your batteries will be restored to their optimal performance.
Ultra-Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Enhanced Energy Harvesting
The ultra-fast MPPT technology of the SmartSolar controller ensures that your system captures the maximum possible energy, even under variable light conditions like cloudy skies. Compared to traditional PWM controllers, this technology boosts energy harvest by up to 30%, and up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers. This efficiency is further enhanced by advanced Maximum Power Point Detection, which optimizes energy capture even in partially shaded conditions.
Outstanding Conversion Efficiency
High Efficiency for Maximum Output
The SmartSolar 85A Charge Controller boasts an impressive conversion efficiency exceeding 98%, ensuring that your system operates at peak performance with minimal energy loss. The controller maintains full output current up to 40°C (104°F) without the need for a cooling fan, guaranteeing quiet operation and prolonged device lifespan.
Flexible and Programmable Charge Algorithm
Customizable Charging for Any Battery Type
This SmartSolar controller offers a fully programmable charge algorithm, allowing you to select from eight pre-programmed options via a rotary switch or customize your own. The controller is also equipped with extensive electronic protection, including PV short circuit, reverse polarity, and reverse current protection, ensuring your system’s safety and reliability.
Bluetooth Smart Built-In for Easy Monitoring
Seamless Connectivity and Control
With built-in Bluetooth Smart technology, the SmartSolar charge controller allows for effortless wireless setup, monitoring, updates, and synchronization. Additional data communication options include VE.Direct and VE.Can for wired connections, providing flexible integration with various devices like the Color Control GX and other GX products.
VE.Can: The Ideal Solution for Large Systems
The SmartSolar charge controller is designed for large-scale solar installations, with the ability to synchronize up to 25 units via VE.Can and up to 10 units via Bluetooth. This makes it the ideal solution for complex solar systems that require multiple controllers working in parallel. The controller also features a programmable relay for remote control and alarm triggering, providing comprehensive system management capabilities.
Robust Battery Recovery Function
The SmartSolar charge controller includes a fully discharged battery recovery function, capable of initiating charging even if the battery voltage drops to zero. It is also designed to reconnect to fully discharged Li-ion batteries with an integrated disconnect function, ensuring that your system remains operational in all conditions.
For added convenience, an optional pluggable LCD display can be installed on the controller, providing real-time data and easy system monitoring.
