User questions & answers

Question:	i have 900w wind turbine, can I use this item for this turbine
Answer:	I have only had my inverter 3-4 weeks, I do know from reviews that I have read you have to use a true rms meter to get a proper reading. That being said before purchasing mine I asked about having to use the remote to turn it on and off because I'am mounting it in a tool box in the bed of my pickup and turning it off and on from inside the cab using a 500 amp solenoid so I will not be using the remote at all. I did turn mine on before mounting it and the digital readout on the front of the inverter was showing 119-120 volts I checked it with my fluke true rms meter and it was real close to the readout on the inverter. Sorry I could not be of more help but I have not had it long enough to use it much yet.
Question:	I have 22 200w panels daisy chained at about 400v, can the c40 handle this? If now, how many 200w panels can it handle
Answer:	I've got the 1500W model to power a 1500W toaster oven. It will be best to unplug absolutely everything else when approaching the limit, and unplug those large items when not in use, but yes it will work up to the specified rating. For longest life target a maximum-any-point-in-time usage of 1/2 the official rating.
Question:	can it dump load to resistor
Answer:	Ignore Martha's useless advice. This product, like almost every other inverter is probably made in China. However, if your inverter had the plugs for 115v (standard 3 prong outlet as seen in the pictures) then you can rest assured that the inverter is setup for 115 volts. The 220 plug typically used in other countries looks totally different, and you would be unable to plug a 115v device into an inverter setup for 220.
Question:	This is the same item schneider electric c40 40 amp solar charge controller
Answer:	Difference between 110 and 120 volts not a deal killer. IF you can get microwave to start on the inverter you’re OK. Also, good luck getting a coffee maker to start.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used with more than one panel
Answer:	No, I dont think that's a good idea since they say connect batteries first the solor panels. If you was to shut ur system down, the go in reverse. Panels discount then battery.
Question:	Will this function and output power from a smaller 10w solar cell? Just need to maintain a battery
Answer:	On MPPT and PMI controllers of different brands, RFI particularly in the VHF & UHF bands can be extreme. The solar panels do act as large antennas transmitting the interference. Some fairly simple decoupling circuitry can help. Right at the PV input, i've used a large forward diode into a large, CPU-grade electrolytic along with common-mode chokes on wiring before the diode. On the controller outputs, a "Corcom" type pi-filter helps a lot, but components in series with the output must accept full output current without much voltage drop. This can get rid of about 99% of RFI without too much problem. I do use solar and wind turbines for power at my off-grid property and run amateur radio equipment from 70 cm to 160 meter bands.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have battery overcharge protection? Or is it called something different
Answer:	Hello, The MPPT is designed to charge your batteries as a default voltage of 14.4V when in absorption mode (batteries are flat) then it reduces down to 13.8V when batteries are charged. These setting can be adjusted (the 24V setting are default at 28.8V and 27.6V respectively). Maximum output current is 30A. If you are worried about over charging due to different charging needs for your batteries these can be adjusted from the above settings. Hope that help.

Product description

What a Solar Charge Controller Do?

The solar charge controller (also known as the solar regulator) is a controller used to regulate the charging and discharging processes in the solar system. The main function of the charge controller is to control the charging current flowing from the PV panel to the battery, and keep the current not too large to prevent the battery pack from overcharging.

MPPT vs PWM: Charge Difference

PWM charges the battery through constant 3-stage charging (bulk, float and absorption), while MPPT is the maximum power point tracking, which can be considered as multi-stage charging. Compared with PWM, the conversion efficiency of MPPT is 30% higher.

Advantages of MPPT Charging Controllers:

1. Quickly scan the entire I-V curve and track the PV battery PowerPoint in a few seconds.

2. Innovative maximum power point tracking technology can significantly improve the energy efficiency of the solar system, and the conversion efficiency is as high as 97%.

3. Compared with PWM, the charging efficiency is increased by at least 20%.

4. Under the same load, the MPPT charging method can reduce the power of the PV module and reduce the cost of the module.

• 【High Efficiency】--This automatic 12V/24V MPPT charge controller can obtain the Max power from the solar panel at any time, increasing the charging efficiency of the solar panels. Efficiency up to 99.5% and peak. The conversion efficiency reaches 98%.
• 【Multiple Applications】--The solar controller is widely used in RV trailer motorhome and is compatible with various deep-cycle battery options: sealed, gel, flooded and lithium batteries, used in communication systems, off-grid solar systems, solar street light systems and on-site monitoring.
• 【Perfect Protection】--Short circuit and reverse connected protection (solar panel), solar panel over-voltage protection, reverse connection of battery protection, battery over-voltage protection, battery low voltage protection (LVD), overload protection, load short circuit protection, over-temperature protection and lightning protection.
• 【Multi Load Control Mode】--Normal mode, sensor mode, timer and sensor mode, 3 stages charging mode. The charge controllers for solar panels intelligently manages the work of the solar panels and batteries in the solar panel.
• 【Multiple Functions】--Humanized LCD display, dynamic display of operating data and working status. Built-in operation log, account system working status. The solar panel controller has the function of charge and discharge accumulation and real-time display of power generation function.

Best regards PIKASOLA Inc
Question:	I'm using 2 12v 100ah deep cycle agm sla vrla batteries. will this unit shut off when they reach full charge so they do not over charge & over heat
Answer:	If the panels are 48V open circuit, then put them in series, not parallel. In series they'll work fine. The thing to really focus on is the MPPT range, that is to say, what operating voltages does the devices MPPT process like to operate. The voltage floor of mine is about 47V. A 48V (open circuit) is going to have a max power V of prob 40V and that's not enough to run this device. Put your panels in series and now you'll have max power at around 80V and the device will like that. In another issue, be really really sure that this 2000W device is the one you want. It was not designed for N America, it was designed for Europe. So unless you have 3 phase 240V power at your house or business, get the 1000W unit instead. I really tried to make this work, but in the end is was a kludge, so I installed 2x 1000W units that are a much better fit for conventional N. American wired homes.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this take care of the function of the victron batteryprotect? it seems so but just want to make sure. thanks
Answer:	your solar can have a VOC up to 100 volts and then it will drop it down to 12 or 24 volts to charge the battery bank.
Question:	Can I have much higher input (nominal voltage of 24v) into this unit and have the unit charge a 12v battery bank? 36v->unit->13.5v
Answer:	The single difference between them is that the SmartSolar MPPTs have Bluetooth built-in so that you can monitor and configure them through the VictronConnect smartphone app. The BlueSolar MPPTs do *not* have the Bluetooth built-in; you can use a VE.Direct to Bluetooth Dongle to achieve the same functionality, but the cost of a SmartSolar ends up a little less (typically) than a BlueSolar MPPT +a VE.Direct to Bluetooth Dongle, so it usually makes more sense to order the SmartSolar. If you're not planning on monitoring the MPPT or changing any of the settings, however, a BlueSolar will be just fine, as the actual circuitry is virtually identical. Regards, -Justin Mobile Power Pros / Bay Marine Supply
Question:	what is the difference between smart solar and blue solar
Answer:	The charger will compensate for temperature based on it's internal sensor, essentially gauging the local environment's temperature. An option Smart Battery Sense can be attached to the battery for true battery temperature. Those are new and in short supply, but should be fully available by the end of June, 2018.
Question:	Does this unit alternate voltage based on battery temperature
Answer:	No

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the default battery type setting if I choose to plug and play without messing with the blutooth app or an additional control module
Answer:	AGM. That being said, the app takes about 20 seconds to set up and use, so it's worth the time.
Question:	what's the maximum load wattage I can put on this? I know the max charge current is 20a, but is the load fused, or just pulls from battery
Answer:	To correct multiple incorrect answers on this question: The fuse is to protect the charge controller from reverse battery connection: it DOES NOT protect the load output, nor does it protect the charging circuit to the battery, nor does it protect the PV input. Please see the user manual available at victronenergy.com/support-and-downloads/manuals.
Question:	When using an a/c battery charger/converter, do i hook it's output to the load side of the controller
Answer:	You can have multiple charging inputs to the batteries. They will work just fine independent of each other. Typical motorhome has alternator, inverter/charger and solar charger connected.
Question:	The item i received says 48v on the side. will it work with 12v/24v systems
Answer:	Even though the mppt has the 48V stamp, it will work with 12V 24V & 48V systems. The 48V is to differentiate it from the 12V/24V only mppt. Here is documetation from Victron showing it will work with all three Voltages. https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-SmartSolar-charge-controller-MPPT-75-10,-75-15,-100-15,-100-20_48V-EN.pdf

User questions & answers

Question:	Using with a deep cycle flooded lead acid battery. using the app the only battery presets are for agm gel, lithium and pzs. which preset should i use
Answer:	This controller is designed to work with a battery powered system. The PWS pool pump has an MPPT controller that works differently from the one used here to charge a battery. It is designed to turn that solar energy into immediate use power to run your pump. This unit will not work straight of the box with the system you have. In order to get this to work you would need a battery bank, and a DC-DC converter with enough voltage and amperage capacity. Doing that you could run the pump day and night because the battery takes over when the solar input is out.
Question:	Can this charge controller be used with pws 72v 1.6hp solar powered swimming pool
Answer:	No, you would need to go with the new 100|20 model (will charge 12V, 24V, 36V or 48V). If you cannot find the newer model 100|20 than look for the older 100|20 48V (only) model.
Question:	Can this be used to charge a 48 volt golf cart battery bank
Answer:	Installing electronic components in a battery compartment is not a good practice, assuming you have lead acid batteries. Off-gassing from the batteries during charging can corrode the electronics. If you're using AGM or gel batteries, off-gassing wouldn't be an issue.
Question:	Can controller be installed in battery compartment (somewhat limited in space). RV application, 2-6volt batteries, 1-100 watt panel
Answer:	Dear customer, Thanks for your question. 1.We can supply 2000watt version,but it's not our regular model and need to customize. 2.Could your tell us how power do you need solar panel and wind system? Best regards PIKASOLA Inc
