Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 75/10 solar charge controller

Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/10 controller

The Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 75/10 is a solar charge controller designed to harvest energy from photovoltaic panels and store it in batteries. It uses Maximum Power Point Tracking technology to maximise energy harvest, driving power intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. The unit maintains battery health to extend service life and can recharge severely depleted batteries operating from as low as 0 Volts, provided cells are not permanently damaged. Remote control and monitoring of extensive features is supported.

Upgrading from basic PWM regulators

This controller replaces simpler pulse-width modulation regulators that cannot track the maximum power point of solar panels. The jump is worth it when light intensity changes frequently, such as during partially clouded conditions, because MPPT technology constantly monitors voltage and current to rinse every drop of available power from the panels. It also upgrades the ability to recover deeply discharged batteries that standard controllers cannot revive. The model number 75010060 identifies this specific 75/10 variant.

Suited for off-grid and mobile solar systems

This controller suits installers building off-grid or mobile solar systems who need efficient energy harvest and battery health management. It fits applications requiring remote monitoring and the ability to charge batteries from a very low state of charge. Buyers needing higher voltage or current limits than the 75 and 10 ratings provide should look at larger models. Those requiring integrated inverter functions or AC output capabilities will need separate equipment not included in this charge controller.
