Victron SmartSolar MPPT 450/200-Tr Also the new metal case design and fully covered electrical connections improve safety and modernize the presentation in line with the latest product suite Victron.

Using Victron SmartSolar RS MPPT 450/200

The Victron SmartSolar RS MPPT 450/200 solar charge controller is ideal for large autonomous photovoltaic packages as well as 48V hybrids that can meet all the needs of a home or a business.
With the use of the MPPT algorithm for maximum energy absorption from the photovoltaic in the respective sunshine conditions. Also 30% more energy from the sun than PWM charge controllers.
The use of 4 MPPT inputs, with a maximum input voltage of 450V (range 80-450V) each, offers flexibility in the design of the stand-alone based on the installation location.

Charging of deep discharge photovoltaic batteries takes place in three stages:

• Bulk – initial charging with maximum current, the regulator exploits all the energy from the PV
• Absorption – battery charged to 80-90%
• Float – battery fully charged

They include an integrated display screen for monitoring the production and storage system and the ability to configure the system with a smartphone via bluetooth, using the VictronConnect app.
In addition, it is possible to program the equalization function of the batteries to maximize their lifespan. Parallel and charge synchronization of up to 25 SmartSolar RS MPPT 450/200 via VE.Can communication bus. Finally VE.Direct cable input – possibility to connect Victron Battery Monitor, MPPT Control, Color Control GX.
Combined with (battery at 48V):

• as 26 photovoltaic panels of 440W_p (total on all 4 MPPT inputs)
• 24 2-volt deep-discharge photovoltaic batteries SOPzS 965Ah@C120 or SOPzV 990Ah@C120 for 2-3 days of autonomy in winter
• Standalone PV inverter Victron Phoenix/Multiplus 5.000VA, Victron Quattro 8.000VA, Victron Quattro 10.000VA at 48V

Victron SmartSolar MPPT 450/200-Tr Parts

Ultra Fast Maximum Power Tracking (MPPT) Solar Charge Controller : The MPPT RS SmartSolar is a 48 V solar charge controller with PV input up to 450 VDC and 100 A or 200 A output. Used in on-grid and off-grid solar applications where maximum battery charging power is required.

Multiple independent MPPT monitoring inputs: With multiple MPPT trackers, you can optimize your solar panel design for maximum performance for your specific location.

Isolated PV connections for added safety: Full galvanic isolation between the PV and battery connections provides additional overall system safety.

Wide MPPT voltage range: 80 – 450 VDC PV operating range, with 120 VDC PV starting voltage.

Light, efficient and quiet: Thanks to high-frequency technology and new design, this powerful charger weighs only 7,9 kg for the 100 A model. In addition, it has excellent performance, low standby power and very quiet operation.

Display and Bluetooth: 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 change settings with VictronConnect.

PV Isolation Resistance Monitoring for peace of mind at higher voltages: The MPPT RS continuously monitors the PV array and can detect if there are faults that reduce the isolation of the panels to unsafe levels.

VE.Can and VE.Direct port: For connecting to a GX device for system monitoring, data logging and remote firmware updates. VE.Can allows up to 25 units to be connected in parallel and their charging synchronized.

I/O Connections: Programmable relay, temperature sensor, auxiliary, digital input and voltage sensor connections. Also the remote input can accept Victron smallBMS and other BMS with charging permission signal.
