Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100V 30 amp 12/24-Volt Solar Charge Controller (Bluetooth)

This is a quality product. I installed it as part of a solar upgrade on my 1999 Chinook RV, which runs three 100-watt panels and four 100Ah lithium batteries. It handles the setup well and works great with lithium. I love being able to monitor and adjust it over Bluetooth from my phone or computer using the VictronConnect app. It’s easy to see exactly what my system is doing at a glance. Highly recommended for RV and van setups.

These charge controllers are awesome. I'm using 4 of them currently with the bmv712 shunt monitor and I love that they all connect via Bluetooth and share data. I love that the chargers synchronize to work with each other. The ability to check on your system and set your charge parameters from your phone is definitely worth it. The MPPT tracking is fast. Their efficiency is phenomenal. Being able to use the VE port as a relay controller rather than "load" terminals is preferred in my opinion for dump load options. However the app isn't as polished as the controllers themselves. Sometimes the Bluetooth is laggy and glitches. I wish the app showed a little more useful data that it is capable of showing, but it doesn't because if you buy all victron stuff a different product will show you. For example "power being used". If the shunt monitor is showing how much power is going into the batteries and the charge controllers show your total network power, you can simply subtract the total power from battery power to show power consumption. What's annoying is you must first select the charge controller, then it connects via Bluetooth to one single controller. You can only monitor one single device via Bluetooth at a time. It takes 10-30 seconds each time you select a device. This makes it difficult to compare data manually. Sure it shows your average discharge and deepest discharge, but if you don't check right before the sun comes up, there's no way to see what you used last night. No way to see how much power you used that day, week, etc... once again you could do it all manually. The app should just have a system overview showing all the data available and atleast a months worth of history. Or have the app store some data on your phone and synchronize every couple hours if your within range. I realize if you buy a Victron brand inverter or some other fancy expensive data logger it shows a lot of this data. I did not though. It's annoying when it is capable of showing data, but to really be able to use these devices to their potential you need to buy all Victron... I wish the programs for the relay function were a little more flexible. Great for most situations, but not the best. Maybe add some time delay options? Select sun up/down triggers along with voltage triggers. Temperature triggers would also be cool too. There stuff is good, but a some extra lines of code is all you need to make this stuff a little more friendly for the experimenters or budget conscious DIYers.

I just hooked up a Victron SmartSolar Charge Controller MMPT 100/30 to my 12v solar panel system. I'm testing this unit and will use it to upgrade my system to 24 volts. The first thing I notice is the weight: Solid construction. The 100/30 can handle either a 12 volt or 24 volt system - it's rated at 440 watts for a 12v sys & 880 watts for a 24v system. In 12v battery mode you can use 12v panels in parallel or two 12v in series for 24v and then in parallel. In 24 volt mode the panels output must exceed the battery volts so... the first time it's used it sets itself to the battery voltage, after that you use the software to configure the voltage. I have the Victron App on my phone as i use the Smartshunt - 500A w/Bluetooth module. Once plugged in the SmartSolar charge controller shows up in the App and gives all the data you need to stay on top of things. The Victron wireports easily take the #10 AWG (30amp rated) wire ; which is the correct size for a 30 amp rated controller; AND has Big Fat Flathead Screws to clamp down on those wires. Compare that to a mid-price item like Renogy; their wireport just fits a #10 wire, and the screws are tiny phillips heads that are hard to get a bite on... or a WERCHTAY 60amp (sure) controller that can barely fit a 12AWG (20amp). Victron seems to have dropped their prices; I always thought they were way too expensive for me, but now for the price of an intermediate tier product you go Top Tier: The Smartsolar MMPT 100/30 is priced about the same as a Renogy product and already has Bluetooth; Renogy wants another $30 for a Bluetooth dongale. All in all a solid product with good data software: it supports iPad, and my Android phone. It has many support products.

When networked via Bluetooth with the vicrtron smart shunt, it increased the charging output of my solar panel by 25% compared to an already excellent epever mppt charge controller. This is because my cabling had a bit of resistance and the charge controller was seeing a higher voltage than actual battery voltage so it never did fully charge the battery. The victon setup allowed the charger to see actual voltage of battery via the smart shunt and it was outputing more to the battery

In my opinion, Victron charge controllers are some of the best on the market, and they’re still reasonably priced. I bought this 100/30 to replace the Victron 75/15 controller in my RV when I upgraded my solar panels and needed more capacity. These controllers are reliable and simply do what they’re supposed to do. The Victron app makes it easy to adjust settings and monitor the system in real time, including how much solar power you’re collecting and the state of your batteries. I’ve had great results with Victron products, and this controller is no exception. Reliable, easy to monitor, reasonably priced, and a great product all around. Five stars.

Easy to install, inexpensive, compact in size and integrates with my Victron battery monitor shunt. Just be certain to get the SMARTSolar product (which has Bluetooth capability) and NOT the BlueSolar product (whose name deceptively suggests Bluetooth connectivity; it has none, so is useless as a solar production monitor). The free companion Victron phone app displays your panel’s production real time. It’s simply a must-have product for those looking to passively power their vessel with solar power.

I’ve been running a full Victron setup in my RV since 2021, including the MultiPlus inverter/charger, the SmartSolar 100/30 charge controller, the BMV-712 battery monitor, and the Digital MultiControl panel. After years of use across various climates and conditions, I can confidently say this system has been absolutely rock solid. Each component was easy to install and configure, and the integration between devices is seamless. The MultiPlus handles all of my AC needs flawlessly, switching between shore power, generator, and battery without a hiccup. The SmartSolar charge controller keeps my solar system optimized and running efficiently, even on cloudy days. The BMV-712 gives me precise battery monitoring at a glance, and the MultiControl panel makes managing the inverter simple from inside the RV. What I appreciate most is how this system has given me real freedom. I can boondock for days without stress, knowing exactly how my batteries are doing and trusting that the system will just work. It’s added reliability and convenience that truly changed how I RV. Highly recommend Victron to anyone serious about upgrading their mobile power setup. Worth every penny.

It works great. Installed it for my gate opener with a large solar panel. Has no issues handling the capacity it’s tested for. Love the data and the ability to Bluetooth to it. The app is very user friendly and easy to track all your tech. I have one wish…..it could connect to my Starlink mini without having to spend another 100+ dollars on another add on. They should have given this unit the ability to TP to a network so the data could be viewed from anywhere in the world live.

Produkt av högsta klass, väldigt enkel att installera. Den var lite större än vad jag hade tänkt mig, men stämmer överens med specifikationerna, så mitt fel. Väldigt smidigt med appen för avläsning av systemet.

Excelente producto

Good quality MPPT/Solar charge controller. A bit on the expensive side but the quality and features makes up for it.

top product

As expected from Victron, great quality MPPT, easy setup with good clear instructions, connectivity is stable, the app is easy to use with no dropouts, great value for money, as for battery monitoring, I use my lithium batteries Bluetooth app.
