Photonic Universe is an official distributor of products from Victron Energy - the globally renowned manufacturer of high quality hybrid power electronics. Victron Energy solar charge controllers have a longstanding reputation for their outstanding reliability, innovative design and superior build quality.

This Victron 450V 200A MPPT RS controller comes from the intelligent SmartSolar range, which uses the latest ultrafast MPPT technology to maximise energy harvest whilst maintaining optimal battery health. SmartSolar MPPT controllers uniquely feature built-in Bluetooth, to allow remote system monitoring via any Bluetooth enabled device, along with a programmable relay with various signalling options.

Ultrafast MPPT Technology:

This 200A MPPT solar charge controller is designed to deliver the highest possible energy yield in the shortest amount of time. This is achieved through the use of high speed Maximum Power Point Tracking technology, which tracks the maximum power voltage point of the solar panels as it varies depending on sunlight exposure and temperature. 

This technology enables the controller to produce up to 30% greater energy yield than PWM controllers and as much as 10% more power than slower MPPT controllers. This advanced technology allows the controller to perform extremely well in low-light or cloudy conditions, as the controller consistently strives to extract the maximum available power from the solar array.

Multiple independent MPPT inputs:

Featuring two independent MPPT trackers, this inverter charger provides exceptional flexibility when designing and configuring your solar array. Each tracker can accept up to 4000W of solar input power, allowing multiple high-voltage panel strings to operate independently and at their optimum power point.

By tracking each solar array separately, the system can maximise energy harvest even when panel strings are installed at different orientations, tilt angles, or experience varying levels of shading. With a combined maximum charging power of 11520W, this advanced dual-MPPT design helps ensure the highest possible solar yield and overall system efficiency in a wide range of installation conditions.

Inbuilt safety protection:

Fully equipped with an extensive range of safety features, this controller offers complete protection against potential hazards such as PV short circuit, reverse polarity, overvoltage, overcurrent and reverse current, as well as battery overvoltage, reverse polarity and overheating - monitored via the internal temperature sensor. The controller also has self-diagnostic capability and highlights any system errors using sophisticated fault-targeting technology. These are signalled via the high intensity LED indicators.  

Inbuilt Bluetooth:

This SmartSolar charge controller features built-in Bluetooth which allows the user to easily connect to any Bluetooth enabled device, such as a mobile phone, tablet or iPad in order to access the VictronConnect App (no additional Bluetooth dongle required). The mobile app unlocks numerous possibilities for advanced programming and remote monitoring of your Victron SmartSolar system. Once the controller is paired with the app, a wide range of additional features are made available, including:

Live data transmission: Real-time information is displayed including solar panel output, battery voltage and current (flowing into and out of the battery) as well as battery state of charge.

Detailed data logs: System activity for the past 30 days is available to view; either as in-depth daily logs or as a monthly summary. These easy-view graphics display daily energy yield, maximum recorded power and voltage, time spent in each charging stage, minimum and maximum recorded battery voltages, error records and total energy counters.

User-defined battery charging algorithm: Option to disable preset values in favour of personalised charging parameters, including user-defined absorption voltage, absorption time, float voltage, equalisation voltage and temperature compensation settings.

The VictronConnect App is also available to download as a PC version, for computers without bluetooth connectivity. If you would like to use the PC version of the app to monitor/program your SmartSolar system, this controller can be connected to your PC via a VE Direct USB cable.

VE.Can connection ports allow easy connection to Victron GX devices or other compatible solar controllers using a simple RJ45 cable.

LCD display:

The SmartSolar RS controller features a built-in LCD display that provides clear, real-time monitoring of key system operating parameters. The display automatically cycles through a range of information screens, allowing users to quickly assess system performance without the need for additional monitoring equipment.

Comprehensive battery information is displayed, including charging power, current, DC voltage, temperature and state of charge. The display also provides detailed data for each integrated MPPT tracker, including solar power, voltage, current, daily energy production and total energy yield. In addition, a dedicated diagnostics screen displays system warnings, alarms and fault codes, enabling fast identification and troubleshooting of any operational issues.

Programmable relay:

This solar charge controller has programmable relay contacts, which can be programmed (e.g. with a smartphone, via the app) to start a generator or to send a low battery signal which will activate an audible alarm.

Other features:

This solar charge controller is also compatible with a wide range of battery types, including AGM, Gel, Tubular plate and Lithium batteries.
