Victron Energy BlueSolar MPPT 100/50 SCC020050200 industrial generator

Solar charger for battery systems

The Victron Energy BlueSolar MPPT 100/50 is a solar charge controller that gathers energy from photovoltaic panels and stores it in batteries. It uses maximum power point tracking to maximise energy harvest and drive it intelligently for full charge in the shortest possible time. The unit maintains battery health to extend service life. It suits off-grid and backup installations that require efficient solar charging.

Upgrades from basic PWM controllers

This controller replaces simpler regulators that cannot track the maximum power point of solar panels. The jump is worth it when light conditions change frequently, such as partially clouded skies, because MPPT technology constantly monitors voltage and current to harvest every drop of available power. It also adds remote monitoring capability via an optional Bluetooth dongle and the VictronConnect app. Victron Remote Management Portal access is available for internet-connected installations.

Installers needing MPPT efficiency and remote access

This unit suits installers and system owners who want to maximise solar yield and monitor performance from a smartphone or via the Victron Remote Management Portal. Buyers who only need basic charge regulation without data logging or remote control may find a simpler controller adequate. Those requiring higher voltage or current limits than the 100/50 rating should select a different model.
