Features:
MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking- The SmartSolar RS solar charge controller connects to a PV array of between 80 and 450 Volt Voc and will efficiently charge your 48V battery bank with either 100A or 200A. The charge settings are fully programmable and can be set up for different battery chemistries, like lead-acid, lithium and more.
Light weight, efficient and quiet- Thanks to high frequency technology and a new design this powerful charger weighs only 7.9 kg for the 100 A model. In addition to this it has an excellent efficiency, low standby power, and a very quiet operation.
Multiple independent MPPT tracking inputs- With multiple MPPT trackers, you can optimize your solar panel design for maximum performance for your specific location.
Wide MPPT voltage range- 80 – 450 VDC PV operating range, with a 120 VDC PV start-up voltage.
Setup and monitor with VictronConnect- The SmartSolar RS charge controller can be remotely controlled and configured over Bluetooth via the VictronConnect App. This allows device set-up, management, and at-a-glance information, such as battery voltage and current, PV voltage and current, historical data and trends.
Daisy Chain Additional Units- The SmartSolar RS charge controller is equipped with VE.Can bus ports. This allows for communication with additional SmartSolar RS & VE.Can MPPT units. The additional units are simply “daisy chained” to each other with an RJ45 cable. When connected to each other, all individual charge controllers, will synchronise their charge stages. They can also send their data, via the same cable, for monitoring to a GX device (such as the Cerbo GX).
Remote Monitoring and Control- If the GX device is connected to the internet, the Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your SmartSolar RS charge controllers. If your installation is connected to a GX device and the internet, Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; for free. For remote installations - even when there is no internet connection nearby - you may be able to monitor your MPPT by connecting the GlobalLink 520.
I/O Connections- The SmartSolar RS charge controller is equipped with a programmable relay and options for remote temperature and voltage sensing. The remote input can accept the Victron smallBMS and other types of BMS with allow-to-charge signals.
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.
