Victron EnergySmartSolar MPPT Solar Charge Controller (Bluetooth) - Charge Controllers for Solar Panels - 100V, 15 amp, 12/24-Volt

Absolute game changer from the Renogy Wanderer. It keeps my batteries at a constant with no deviation or overpower. 300ah Lithium Battery, 200 watt Renogy panel, never without power while camping.

A great addition to my 12V solar system. Received and setup very quickly. I have had other charge controllers that were extremely hard to set up. This one was a breeze.

Works great !

I’ve tried the rest Victron is best

Purchased several of these charge controllers. Great compact design and a reasonable price point. Very easy install. The Bluetooth model has a lot of features and functions…….this is my go to charge controller.Cons: none

I went off grid at my home 4 years ago and bought all Victron components (charge controllers, inverters, monitors, etc.). They have performed flawlessly. Victron stuff costs a bit more, but it's worth it!When I upgraded my camper with LiFePO4 batteries, I had to buy a new charge controller. I tried to save a few bucks by ordering another brand for my camper. It worked OK for about 2 years and then died. I am a radio amateur operator and that CC put out a lot of radio interference. I had to turn it off when I was operating my radio.When the non-VIctron CC died, I went back to Victron. It works great and no radio interference.Stick with best and save yourself unnecessary headaches. Buy Victon.

The media could not be loaded. For more than twice the cost of other comparable units I expected a lot from Victron Energy MPPT. Unfortunately, the flaws in designs make this unit---and assume other VE MPPT as well because they use the software---unusable in many situations.The system is so overengineered it makes you wonder if its made for consumers at all. Here, I will just focus on two major ones that basically render the Victron Energy MPPT useless. I have attached a short video to illustrate them.The VE engineers believe the charging voltage must be 5V above the battery otherwise its pointless. So in everyday use, quite often their algorithm SmartSolar doesn't open the solar charging until 3-4 hours after the sunrise; the solar energy shows 0W more than 30% during the day and I am in southern Ca, the sunlight capital of the country. I don't care how smart VE engineers sound, that is a lot of energy to waste!The second major flaw is that VE SmartSolar algorithm thinks that if the load goes from 1W to 5W the whole output needs to be reset, so it turns off the load for 1 sec and reboot the output, and now my mini computer system and wifi network that are powered by VE controller just lose their power and connection. Yeah, I am sure those VE engineers will come up with a 100 reasons why rebooting is a good idea, but I don't care, because in practice I just cannot use a system that constantly cuts power to my critical equipments.BTW, those flaws are NOT setup related because I have gone thru all the settings.Other annoyances include there are no quick setup diagram or manual; it comes with a fine print dictionary size booklet you are supposed to read thru and understand the engineering genius behind the design. Seriously, in this day and age, why cannot a manufacture with so much resources and charging so much for their products devote a little bit effort in making setup steps intuitive for new users. And the battery current display has two digits after the decimal which is in A, but in reality only 0.1A shows, the second digit is always zero. So the precision VE MPPT claims is not really there. I never know if my system is drawing 0.11A or 0.19A, for example, because it doesn't show. So if you want to calculate the power consumption to design your solar system you cannot get it from VE MPPT.
