Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT
controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up
to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions
If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may be present on the power-voltage
curve.
Conventional MPPT’s tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP.
The innovative BlueSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum
MPP.
Outstanding conversion efficiency
No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%.
Flexible charge algorithm
Fully programmable charge algorithm (see the software page on our website), and eight
preprogrammed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details).
Extensive electronic protection
Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high.
PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection.
PV reverse current protection.
Internal temperature sensor
Compensates absorption and float charge voltage
for temperature.

Maximum Power Point Tracking
Upper curve:
Output current (I) of a solar panel as function of
output voltage (V).
The maximum power point (MPP) is the point
Pmax along the curve where the product I x V
reaches its peak.
Lower curve:
Output power P = I x V as function of output
voltage.
When using a PWM (not MPPT) controller the
output voltage of the solar panel will be nearly
equal to the voltage of the battery, and will be
lower than Vmp.

If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points
may be present on the power-voltage curve.
Conventional MPPT’s tend to lock to a local MPP, which may
not be the optimum MPP.
The innovative BlueSolar algorithm will always maximize energy
harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.
1.3 Outstanding conversion efficiency
No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%. Fulloutput
current up to 40°C (104°F).

1.6 Internal temperature sensor
Compensates absorption and float charge voltages for
temperature.
1.7 Automatic battery voltagerecognition
The controllers will automatically adjust to a 12V, 24V or a 48V
system. A computer or a Color Control panel is required to set the
controller to 36V.

1.8 Adaptive three step charging
The BlueSolar MPPT Charge Controller is configured for a three
step charging process: Bulk – Absorption - Float.
A regular equalization charge can also be programmed: see
section 3.8 of this manual.
1.8.1. Bulk stage
During this stage the controller delivers as much charge current
as possible to rapidly recharge the batteries.
1.8.2. Absorption stage
When the battery voltage reaches the absorption voltage setting,
the controller switches to constant voltage mode.
When only shallow discharges occur theabsorption time is kept
short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep
discharge the absorption time is automatically increased to make
sure that the battery is completely recharged. Additionally, the
absorption period is also ended when the charge current
decreases to less than 2 A.
1.8.3. Float stage
During this stage, float voltage is applied to the battery to
maintain it in a fully charged state.
1.9 Connectivity
See section3.8 of this manual.

3. Installation
3.1 General
● Mount vertically on a non-flammable surface, with the power
terminals facing downwards.
● Mount close to the battery , but nev er directly abov e the battery
(in order to prevent damage due to gassing of the battery).
● Grounding: the heatsink of the controller should be connected
to the grounding point.
Tr models: use flexible multistranded copper cable for the battery
and PV connections (Tr models).
MC4 models: several splitter pairs will be needed to parallel the
strings of solar panels.
The maximum diameter of the individual strands is
0,4 mm/0,125mm² (0.016 inch/AWG26).
A 25 mm² cable, for example, should have at least 196 strands
(class 5 or higher stranding according to VDE 0295, IEC 60228
and BS6360). Also known as H07V-K cable.
An AWG2 gauge cable should have at least 259/26 stranding
(259 strands of AWG26).
In case of thicker strands the contact area will be too small and
the resulting high contact resistance will cause severe
overheating, eventually resulting in fire.
3.2 PV configuration
● The controllers will operate only if the PV voltage exceeds
battery voltage (Vbat).
● PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5V for the controller to start.
Thereafter minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1V.
● Maximum open circuit PV voltage: 150V.
The controllers can be used with any PV configuration that
satisfies the three above mentioned conditions.
For example:
24V battery and mono- or polycristalline panels

5
EN NL FR DE ES SE Appendix
● Minimum number of cells in series: 72 (2x 12V panel in series
or one 24V panel).
● Recommended number of cells for highest controller
efficiency: 144 cells (4x 12V panel or 2x 24V panel in series).
● Maximum: 216 cells (6x 12V or 3x 24V panel in series).
48V battery and mono- or polycristalline panels
● Minimum number of cells in series: 144 (4x 12V panel or 2x
24V panel in series).
● Maximum: 216 cells.
Remark: at low temperature the open circuit voltage of a 216
cell solar array may exceed 150 V, depending on local
conditions and cell specifications. In that case the number of
cells in series must be reduced.
3.3 Cable connection sequence (see figure 1)
First:connect the battery.
Second:connect the solar array (when connected with reverse
polarity, the controller will heat up but will not charge the
battery).
3.4 Moreaboutautomatic battery voltagerecognition
The system voltage is stored in non volatile memory.
In case of a 24 V or 48 Vbattery, a reset (to 12 V) occurs only
when the output voltage decreases to less than 2 V and the
voltage on the PV input exceeds 7 V. This may occurwhen the
battery has been disconnected before PV voltage starts torise
in the early morning. When the (24 V or 48 V) battery is
reconnected later during the day, the system voltage is restored
to 24 V resp. 48 V after 10 seconds if the battery voltage
exceeds 17,5 V resp. 35 V.
Automatic voltage recognition can be switched off and a fixed
12/24/36 or 48 V system voltagecan be set with a computer or
a Color Controlpanel.
The controller can be reset by short circuiting the output and
applying a voltage exceeding 7 V on the input (for example with a
small power supply, or a solar panel) during a fewseconds. After
a reset, the controller will automatically adjust itself to a 12V
system, a 24V system (when connecting a 24 V battery with at
least 17,5 V) or a 48V system (when connecting a 48 V battery
with at least 35 V). A computer or a Color Control panel is
required to set the MPPT to 36V.

3.7 Batterycharging information
The charge controller starts a new charge cycle every moring,
when the sun starts shining.
The maximum duration of the absorption period is determined by
the battery voltage measured just before the solar charger starts
up in the morning:
Battery voltage Vb (@start-up) Maximum absorption time
Vb < 23,8V 6 h
23,8V < Vb < 24,4V 4 h
24,4V < Vb < 25,2V 2 h
Vb > 25,2V 1 h
(divide voltages by 2 for a 12 V system and multiply by two in
case of a 48V system)
If the absorption period is interrupted due to a cloud or due to a
power hungry load, the absorption process will resume when
absorption voltage is reached again later on the day, until the
absorption period has been completed.
The absorption period also ends when the output current of the
solar charger drops to less than 2 Amps, not because of low solar
array output but because the battery is fully charged (tail current
cut off).
This algorithm prevents overcharge of the battery due to daily
absorption charging when the system operates without load or
with a smallload.

9
EN NL FR DE ES SE Appendix
3.7.1 Automatic equalization
Automatic equalization is default set to “OFF”. By using the
configuration tool mpptprefs this setting can be configured with a
number between 1 (every day) and 250 (once every 250 days).
When automatic equalization is active, the absorption charge
will be followed by a voltage limited constant current period (see
table in section3.5). The current is limited to 8% of the bulk
current for all VRLA (Gel or AGM) batteries and some flooded
batteries, and to 25% of the bulk current for all tubular plate
batteries and the user defined battery type. The bulk current is
the rated charger current unless a lower maximum current
settinghas been chosen.
In case of all VRLA batteries and some flooded batteries
(algorithm number 0, 1, 2 or 3) automatic equalization ends
when the voltage limit maxV has been reached, or after
t = (absorption time)/8, whichever comes first.
For all tubular plate batteries and the user defined battery type
automatic equalization ends after t = (absorption time)/2.
When automatic equalisation is not completely finished within
one day, it will not resume the next day, the next equalisation
session will take place as determined by the day interval.
3.8 Connectivity
Severalparameters can be customized (VE.Direct to USB
cable, ASS030530000, and a computer needed). See the data
communication white paper on our website.
The required software can be downloaded from
http://www.victronenergy.nl/support-and-downloads/software/

1.1 UltrasnelleMaximum Power PointTracking (MPPT)
Vooral als het bewolkt is en de lichtintensiteit voortdurend
verandert, verbetert een ultrasnelle MPPT-controller de
energieopbrengst tot 30% in vergelijking met PWM-
laadcontrollers en tot 10% in vergelijking met tragere MPPT-
controllers.
1.2 Advanced Maximum Power PointDetection in het geval
van wisselende schaduw
In het geval van wisselende schaduw kan de vermogen-
spanningscurve twee of meer maximale vermogenspunten
bevatten.
Conventionele MPPT's benutten meestal plaatselijke MPP,
hetgeen mogelijk niet het optimale MPP is.
Het innovatieve BlueSolar-algoritme maximaliseert de
energieopbrengst altijd door het optimale MPP te benutten.
1.3 Uitstekend omzettingsrendement
Geen koelventilator. Het maximale rendement bedraagt meer
dan 98%. Volledige uitgangsstroom tot 40°C (104°F).
1.4 Flexibel laadalgoritme
Acht voorgeprogrammeerde algoritmes die met een
draaischakelaar gekozen kunnen worden.
1.5 Uitgebreideelektronischebeveiliging
Beveiliging tegen overtemperatuur en vermogensvermindering
bij hoge temperaturen.
Beveiliging tegen PV-kortsluiting en omgekeerde PV-polariteit.
Beveiliging tegen PV-sperstroom.

1.6 Interne temperatuursensor
Compenseert absorptie- en druppelladingsspanningen voor
temperatuur.
1.7 Automatische herkenning van deaccuspanning
De controllers passen zich automatischaan aan een systeem van
12V, 24V of 48V. Om de controller op 36V in testellen, is een pc
of Color Control-paneel vereist.
1.8 Adaptief drietraps laden
De BlueSolar MPPT-laadcontroller is geconfigureerd voor een
drietraps oplaadproces: Bulklading, absorptielading en
druppellading.
Een regelmatige egalisatielading kanook worden
geprogrammeerd: zie paragraaf 3.8 van deze handleiding.
1.8.1. Bulklading
Tijdens deze fase levert de controller zo veel mogelijk laadstroom
om de accu's snel op te laden.
1.8.2. Absorptielading
Als de accuspanning de ingestelde absorptiespanning bereikt,
schakelt de controller over op de constante spanningsmodus.
Als enkel lichte ontladingen optreden, wordt de absorptietijd kort
gehouden om overlading van de accu te voorkomen. Na een
diepe ontlading wordt de absorptietijd automatischverhoogd om
ervoor te zorgen dat de accu opnieuw volledig wordt geladen.
Daarnaast wordt de absorptietijd ook beëindigd als de laadstroom
onder 2 A daalt.
1.8.3. Druppellading
Tijdens deze fase wordt de druppelladingsspanning toegepast op
de accu om deze volledig opgeladen te houden.
1.9 Connectiviteit
Zie paragraaf 3.8 in deze handleiding.
1.10 Aan/uit op afstand
De MPPT 150/35 kan op afstand worden bestuurd door een
VE.Direct niet-omvormende kabel voor het op afstand in- of
uitschakelen (ASS030550300). De ingang HIGH (Vi > 8V)
schakelt de controller in en de ingang LOW (V < 2V, of "free
floating") schakelt de controller uit.
