Smartsolar 75/15 charge controller with integrated Bluetooth
The Smartsolar 75/15 charge controller from Victron Energy is an MPPT solar charge controller
with a maximum charging current of 15 amps for charging 12 volt and 24 volt batteries.
In contrast to the Bluesolar 75/15, the Smart version has integrated Bluetooth,
which makes the purchase of a Bluetooth dongel superfluous.
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 most important technical features at a glance:
- 15A max. charging current, suitable for 12V and 24V batteries
- Nominal PV power for 12V systems: 220W
- Nominal PV power for 24V systems: 440W
- 15A load output
- high peak efficiency of 98
- Freely programmable battery charging algorithm (via the free Victron Connect APP)
- Programmable light dimming functions (via the free Victron Connect APP)
- Ultra-fast maximum power point tracking
- Max. PV open circuit voltage: 75V
- Charging algorithm: multi-stage, adaptive
- Integrated Bluetooth module

Ultra-fast maximum power point tracking
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
, especially in overcast conditions when the light intensity is constantly changing.
Battery Life: intelligent battery management
If the solar charge controller is not able to charge the battery to its full capacity within a day,
the status of the battery constantly switches back and forth between "partially charged" and "end of discharge".
This operating mode (no regular full charging) damages 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
,
it raises the threshold for disconnecting the load day by day (i.e. 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.
