Installing the terminals connection and a dongle plug-in being loose
I like the quick install the Bluetooth works perfect easy nice system. One of the best systems I reviewed for the price. It came down a little bit, but the dongle switch I dislike the plug-in seems loose so I protected it with a box. My solar charger was sent to me With little packaging protection so I hope it’s OK. My terminals are too close together on this. I wish they were spaced more apart. Other than The terminals and the care in which it was shipped and the dongle plug-in, being kind of loose to me I would definitely go out and buy another one of these controllers, I hope they have these issues taken care of next time. I need a controller. Thanks to the other reviews I was cautious of the Dongo plug-in

I originally purchased a renogy dcdc50a but it never worked, even after many calls to renogy. Renogy told me that I would have to buy they're batteries, because they don't work with sealed agm and cannot charge any battery with a charger lower than 12.4volts. Even though the website says can charge any battery, even one that has zero percent charge. So I bought this victron instead from advice from a solar installer. The victron is amazing and works the second it's connected. Plus it has Bluetooth and I can check the charge inside my house while my rv is in the street. My solar charges in almost no light at all because the victron can find power. The difference between victron and the renogy is a full battery instead of a dead battery! Save yourself lots of time and money and get a VICTON!!

New to solar and rushed in before I bought this I had the cheap $20 pwm charge controller. Had everything connected and working and yes it did function. Solar wasn't that hard to get working for me. I used the cheap one for a little while and joined a solar chat thing to ask questions, talk and learn. It was highly recommended to me that I upgrade to this particular unit so I made the splurge. After connecting and experiencing the differences I am 200% satisfied with my purchase and wish I would've started here. This thing gives live feed on what your solar system is doing. Has settings to change all charging parameters and adjusts voltage and current to charge battery according to the need and settings you have set. Adjusts to the shading and works flawlessly. High quality device and my only regret is that I wish I would have gotten a larger one because now I want to make my solar project bigger which is almost always the case. I also added the victron smart shunt and various other items and this hobby is fun to play with. The victron products themselves are top of the line and don't let anyone convince you to go anywhere else. They are definitely worth the investment.

Very effective Solar Charge Controller. I already had a Victron smart shunt installed and was using the Victron Connect App. It was automatically detected and the controller added to the app. Basic info is displayed even without selecting the device. I haved greater efficiency and get up to 390watts out of a 400watt array. Easily surpassing the controller purchased with the panel. Victron's reputation is well deserved and I look forward to incorporsting more products into my system.

Update (2/12/23): Current inventory of VE products: (2) 100V/50A, (2) 100V/30A, (1) 100V/20A, (1) SmartShunt IP67 (newer), (1) SmartShunt (older), (1) BatterySense. Best feature is the VE.Smart networking feature, which allows the components to work together to optimize charging of the battery bank.

Update (8/2/22): Ordered a 2nd unit. Working great! iPhone app has many great features.

Summary: I have evaluated quite a few MPPT controllers for Vine, and while all were decent, the Victron Energy (VE) has high ratings, so I decided to purchase one for evaluation. My solar/PV system specs: 1000W of panels; 24-volt, 270Ah marine battery bank (Optima); Voltworks 2000W inverter. Using the system to reduce our electricity bill. This review is for the 100V/50A, which is the 2nd VE controller I've purchased.

Observations: The first thing to notice is that this one, unlike most others, does not have a control panel (just three LEDs); which means you'll need a smart device to read the values. There are two basic VE offerings: this SmartSolar (built-in bluetooth), and BlueSolar (requires a BT dongle). Between the two, I went with the built-in BT (SmartSolar). One great feature of the VE system, is that it allows the MPPTs to communicate with each other via BT; which is a great feature for a larger system.

Recommendations: One reason to choose the lower cost BlueSolar over the SmartSolar, is if you do not need the additional features that the BT brings; but for me, I didn't mind spending the extra $30-40 (per controller) to gain those features.

Pros: Industrial quality & features; good application support (firmware updated upon first connect); security (bluetooth); good/efficient charging algorithm; good data and graphs.

Cons: No built-in display (offset by the much better app and graphs).

Conclusion: At $225, rating this 5-stars. Of all the MPPT controllers I have reviewed, Victron is the recommended brand.

I like the quick install the Bluetooth works perfect easy nice system. One of the best systems I reviewed for the price. It came down a little bit, but the dongle switch I dislike the plug-in seems loose so I protected it with a box. My solar charger was sent to me With little packaging protection so I hope it’s OK. My terminals are too close together on this. I wish they were spaced more apart. Other than The terminals and the care in which it was shipped and the dongle plug-in, being kind of loose to me I would definitely go out and buy another one of these controllers, I hope they have these issues taken care of next time. I need a controller. Thanks to the other reviews I was cautious of the Dongo plug-in

Regolatore di carica perfetto , con tutti i suoi dati sempre a disposizione . Montato sul camper . Adesso sta caricando una batteria al piombo , prossimamente convertirò l'impianto tutto al litio . Bellissimo lo storico dei dati e la visualizzazione sul telefono . Super consigliato!

I was surprised that Victron kit was becoming so much better value for money than it had been. This is an excellent controller and so easy to see what it's doing via the very easy to use bluetooth connection. It replaced an epever controller when I moved to a LiFePo battery.
