Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will
improve energy harvest by up to 30 % compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10 % compared to slower
MPPT controllers.
Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions
If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may be present on the power-voltage curve.
Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP.
The innovative BlueSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.
Outstanding conversion efficiency
No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98 %.
Flexible charge algorithm
Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on our website), and eight pre-programmed
algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details).
Extensive electronic protection
Solar Charge Controller Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high. PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity
MPPT 150/70-Tr protection. PV reverse current protection.
Internal temperature sensor and optional external battery voltage, temperature and current sensing via
Bluetooth
A Smart Battery Sense or a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor can be used to communicate battery voltage and
temperature (and current, in case of a BMV-712 or a SmartShunt) to one or more BlueSolar Charge Controllers.
(VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed)
Real-time data display options
- Color Control GX or other GX devices: see the Venus documents on our website.
- A smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device: VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed.

1a) If more PV power is connected, the controller will limit input power.
1b) PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5 V for the controller to start.
Thereafter minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1 V.
2) A PV array with a higher short circuit current may damage the controller.
3) MC4 models: several splitter pairs may be needed to parallel the strings of solar panels.
Maximum current per MC4 connector: 30 A (the MC4 connectors are parallel connected to one MPPT tracker)
