Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr: High-Performance Solar Charge Controller for 12V, 24V, and 48V Systems

Advanced MPPT Technology for Maximum Energy Harvest

The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr is engineered to extract the maximum available power from your solar array, even under challenging conditions. Its ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm continuously adjusts to changing light intensity, delivering up to 30% more energy compared to traditional PWM controllers and up to 10% more than slower MPPT designs. This is particularly beneficial during cloudy or rapidly changing weather, ensuring your batteries receive a consistent and optimised charge.

In partial shading scenarios, where multiple power peaks can occur on the PV curve, conventional controllers often lock onto a local rather than the true maximum power point. The BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr employs an advanced detection algorithm that always identifies and tracks the optimal MPP, maximising energy yield even when panels are partially shaded. This capability is critical for installations where shading from trees, masts, or other structures is unavoidable.

Exceptional Efficiency and Robust Design

With a peak conversion efficiency exceeding 98%, the BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr minimises energy losses and operates without a cooling fan, relying on a large aluminium heatsink for silent, maintenance-free thermal management. It delivers full rated charge current up to 40°C, making it suitable for the demanding Australian climate. The controller supports 12V, 24V, and 48V battery systems (with 36V selectable via software), providing flexibility for a wide range of off-grid and mobile applications.

Comprehensive electronic protection safeguards your investment: over-temperature protection with power derating, PV short circuit and reverse polarity protection, and PV reverse current blocking prevent damage from common installation faults. An internal temperature sensor automatically adjusts absorption and float voltages, ensuring correct charging across varying ambient conditions.

Flexible Charging and Monitoring

The charge algorithm is fully programmable via Victron's software, and eight pre-programmed battery presets are selectable via a rotary switch for quick setup. For real-time data visualisation, the controller features a VE.Direct port compatible with the VE.Direct to Bluetooth Low Energy dongle (sold separately) for smartphone monitoring, or the ColorControl panel for advanced system integration.

Note: This model does not include built-in Bluetooth; for integrated wireless connectivity, consider the SmartSolar MPPT range.
