Description
solar charge controllers
Solar chargers collect energy from your solar panels and store it in their batteries. Using the fastest and newest technology, the BlueSolar maximizes this energy collection, managing it intelligently to reach maximum charge in the shortest time possible. The BlueSolar takes care of the health of the battery, extending its useful life.
MPPT: Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking
Thanks to the continuous monitoring of the voltage and current output of your solar panels (PV), the MPPT (ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology guarantees the collection and storage of every particle of energy available in its panels. The advantage of this process becomes more evident when the sky is partly cloudy and the light intensity is constantly changing.
Remote monitoring and control
Remotely monitor and control the multitude of options on your BlueSolar MPPT charger by adding a Bluetooth dongle and syncing it with your smartphone or other device using VictronConnect. If your facility is connected to the Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM), you will also have access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both services are free. For remote installations, even when there is no internet connection or phone signal available, you can control your MPPT via Bluetooth by connecting it to an optionally available LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) device.
load output
The intelligent Charge Out function prevents damage that occurs when a battery becomes "empty." You can configure the voltage at which the BlueSolar should disconnect the load, thus avoiding excessive draining of its batteries. And here's the neat trick: BlueSolar will try to recharge the battery to 100% every day. If it cannot do this, such as during periods of bad weather, it will raise the disconnection voltage daily until it can do so. We call this feature BatteryLife, because it maintains the health of your battery and extends its useful life.

The Differences of PWM and MPPT Regulators
What solar regulator do I need depending on the type of solar panel?
Normal regulator (PWM): Whether you have 12V solar panels to use in an isolated (or autonomous) 12V solar installation, or if you have 24V solar panels and 72 cells to use in a 24V installation, you must use a normal regulator (type PWM). Which is the most economical and suitable for this type of solar panel.
Maximizing regulator (MPPT): If you have 24V solar panels and 60 cells (plates with a power greater than 200W), to use in a 24V isolated solar installation, you must use an MPPT maximizing regulator. Necessary to amplify the voltage of these solar panels, so that when it reaches the batteries it is high and the energy is stored well. The MPPT regulator is more expensive but is necessary with this type of plates. Which without the use of MPPT, the useful life of the batteries would be damaged since they could not be equalized and would sulfate in a few months.
