Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Tr 150-Volt 70 amp Solar Charge Controller (Bluetooth) Review

A solar charger gathers energy from the solar panels, and stores it all on your own batteries. Using the newest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximizes this energy-harvest, driving it to achieve full chargezin the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life. By constantly monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels, MPPT technology helps to ensure that every drop of available power is rinsed from your panels, and harvested for storage. The advantage of this is quite noticeable when the sky is partly clouded, and light intensity is continually changing. Remotely control and track the broad features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger using built in Bluetooth by pairing it with your smart phone or other apparatus via VictronConnect. For remote installations - even when there is no online connection or telephone signal nearby - you could be able to monitor your MPPT by Bluetooth-pairing using a LoRaWAN (long-range broad area network) device, available optionally. By adding the SmartSolar Control Display you will have the ability to check the status of your Charger and battery-storage at a glance. Simply plug it into the face of your own MPPT charger to supply you with real-time monitoring and set-up capabilities.
