Victron SMARTSOLAR MPPT 100/30 & 100/50 Solar Charge Controller

Harvest More Energy From Every Hour of Sunlight

Most solar charge controllers leave energy on the table. Partial shading, shifting cloud cover, and temperature swings across the day all cause standard controllers to miss the true power point of your array — meaning watts that could be filling your batteries are simply lost.

The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 and 100/50 are built differently. Their ultra-fast MPPT tracking algorithm continuously monitors PV voltage and current, adjusting in real time to stay locked onto the optimum operating point even as conditions change. The result is measurably more energy harvested per day — particularly in the variable-light environments common across Australian installations.

Both models support up to 100V from the photovoltaic array and convert it to battery charge voltage at efficiencies close to 98%, minimising heat loss and maximising what actually reaches your battery bank.

Built-In Bluetooth — Monitor From Your Phone, No Extra Hardware

Unlike controllers that require a separate Bluetooth dongle, the SmartSolar 100/30 and 100/50 have Bluetooth Smart built in. Pair with the free VictronConnect app on iOS or Android to view real-time charge current, battery voltage, PV array power, and historical yield data directly from your smartphone.

This is practical at commissioning, and useful for ongoing health checks in installations where the controller is not easily accessible — roof-mounted systems, vehicle builds, marine cabinets, or remote sites.

Designed for Australian Conditions

With an operating range of -30°C to +60°C and full rated output to 40°C, the SmartSolar handles the temperature extremes common in Australian outback, alpine, and tropical environments. IP43-rated electronics and PD3 pollution degree rating make it suitable for indoor unconditioned environments up to 5,000m altitude.

100/30 or 100/50 — Choosing the Right Model

Both controllers share the same 100V maximum PV input and identical feature set. The choice comes down to your array size and daily charge requirements.

The MPPT 100/30 handles 30A charge current — suitable for arrays up to 440W at 12V or 880W at 24V. The right choice for small-to-medium battery banks and space-constrained installations.

The MPPT 100/50 handles 50A charge current — suitable for arrays up to 700W at 12V or 1,400W at 24V. Better suited to larger battery banks, higher daily energy demands, or systems with room to scale.
