The Smartsolar 100/20 up to 48V from Victron Energy is an MPPT solar charge controller with 20A max. charging current for charging 12V, 24V and 48V batteries. In contrast to the Bluesolar version, the Smart version has integrated Bluetooth, which makes the purchase of a Bluetooth dongel superfluous. In addition, a VE.Direct connection is still available for communication with other Victron devices such as the Color Control GX or the MPPT Control.
The integrated Bluetooth in the SmartSolar series is the wireless solution for setting up, monitoring and updating the controller using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices. The optional MPPT WireBox-S 100-20 from Victron Energy is the ideal addition to your SmartSolar charge controller. It securely covers the cable entries and connection terminals of the controller, protecting them from external influences and contact.

In particular in overcast conditions, when the light intensity is constantly changing, an extremely fast MPPT controller improves the energy yield by up to 30% compared to PWM charging controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Intelligent load output
Deep discharging of the battery can be prevented by connecting all loads to the load output. The load output disconnects the loads when the battery has been discharged to a specified voltage value. Alternatively, an algorithm for intelligent battery management can be selected: see BatteryLife.
The load output is short-circuit-proof.
Battery Life: intelligent battery management
If the solar charge controller is not able to charge the battery to its full capacity within one day, the status of the battery constantly switches back and forth between "partially charged" and "end of discharge". This operating mode (no regular full charge) will damage a lead-acid battery within a few weeks or months.
The Battery Life algorithm monitors the state of charge of the battery and, if necessary, raises the threshold for disconnecting the load day by day (i.e. the load is disconnected early), the load is disconnected earlier) until the energy gained is sufficient to charge the battery to almost 100%. From this point, the threshold for disconnecting the load is modulated so that charging to almost 100% is achieved approximately once a week.
