Product Overview
The Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 (SCC075015060R) is a 15A Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar charge controller with built-in Bluetooth Smart, VE.Direct connectivity, and a 15A load output with short-circuit protection. Accepting a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 75V, it suits 12V and 24V battery systems with solar panel arrays up to 220W (12V) or 440W (24V) a capable and compact controller for caravans, marine installations, remote off-grid cabins, and portable solar setups.
At 98% peak efficiency, the MPPT algorithm maximises energy harvest from the connected solar array, adapting continuously to changing light conditions. A multi-stage adaptive charging algorithm manages the full battery charge cycle with adjustable absorption and float voltages, temperature compensation, and the Victron Battery Life algorithm that monitors battery state of charge and adjusts load disconnect behaviour to ensure regular full recharge cycles protecting battery longevity in unattended or seasonal installations. Setup, monitoring, and configuration are handled entirely via the free VictronConnect app over Bluetooth no wiring or display unit required to commission the controller.

Features & Benefits
- Built-In Bluetooth Smart with VictronConnect — Configure, monitor, and update the SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet using the free VictronConnect app. No additional display, data cable, or panel wiring is needed for commissioning or ongoing monitoring — the entire setup and readout is handled over Bluetooth. Remote firmware updates keep the controller current without physical access.
- 98% Peak MPPT Efficiency — The SmartSolar's MPPT algorithm continuously tracks the maximum power point of the connected solar array and adapts to changing conditions. Victron states up to 30% improved energy harvest compared to PWM controllers, and up to 10% improvement over slower MPPT controllers — particularly in variable cloud and partial shading conditions. (Supplier-stated comparative figures.)
- 75V Maximum PV Open-Circuit Voltage — Accepts solar panels with open-circuit voltages up to 75V — supporting a range of series-connected panel configurations for 12V and 24V battery systems without requiring a separate voltage-reducing device.
- Multi-Stage Adaptive Charging — A fully programmable multi-stage charge algorithm with adjustable absorption and float voltages covers AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid, and lithium battery chemistries. Temperature compensation automatically adjusts charging voltage based on the internal temperature sensor output (-16mV/°C for 12V, -32mV/°C for 24V).
- Battery Life Algorithm — Victron's proprietary Battery Life algorithm monitors the battery's state of charge day-to-day and adjusts the load disconnect threshold to ensure the battery receives a full recharge cycle regularly — preventing sulphation and premature capacity loss in systems where load demand consistently prevents a full daily charge.
- 15A Load Output with Short-Circuit Protection — The integrated load output provides 15A of protected power for connected loads, with automatic disconnect when battery voltage drops below preset thresholds. Short-circuit protection prevents load faults from damaging the controller or the battery.
- VE.Direct Connectivity — The VE.Direct port provides a wired data connection to Victron GX devices (Cerbo GX, CCGX, Venus GX), PC software, and monitoring accessories — enabling system-level data logging, remote monitoring, and integration with broader Victron power systems.
- 12/24V Auto-Select — Automatically detects the connected battery system voltage on startup — no manual voltage configuration required. Supports both 12V and 24V systems from a single unit.
- Ultra-Low Self-Consumption — Draws just 25mA at 12V or 15mA at 24V in standby — minimising parasitic drain on the battery overnight or during extended low-light periods.
- -30°C to +60°C Operating Range — Operates across a wide temperature envelope — from alpine and cold-storage environments to the sustained heat of Australian outback and rooftop solar installations. Full rated output is maintained up to 40°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does MPPT mean and why is it better than PWM for solar charging?
MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) continuously calculates and adjusts to the solar panel's optimal operating voltage to extract maximum available power before converting it to the battery's charging voltage. A PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controller simply connects the panel directly to the battery at battery voltage — wasting the power difference. Victron states up to 30% improved energy harvest with MPPT over PWM, particularly during variable light conditions.
What solar panel configuration can I use with the SmartSolar MPPT 75/15?
For a 12V battery system, up to 220W nominal PV power is supported. For a 24V system, up to 440W. The maximum PV open-circuit voltage is 75V — series-connected panels must not exceed this limit. Always account for temperature-related voltage increase in cold conditions when sizing the string.
How do I set up and monitor the SmartSolar MPPT 75/15?
Setup and monitoring are handled via the free VictronConnect app on a smartphone or tablet, connected to the controller over Bluetooth. All charge parameters, battery type, and load disconnect settings are configured in the app. No display unit, data cable, or additional hardware is required for basic commissioning and monitoring.
What is the Victron Battery Life algorithm?
Battery Life is a Victron algorithm that monitors the battery's state of charge over time. In systems where daily load demand prevents a full recharge, Battery Life automatically raises the load disconnect threshold temporarily to allow the battery to reach a full charge regularly — preventing sulphation in lead-acid batteries and premature capacity loss across all chemistries.
Is the SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 compatible with lithium batteries?
Yes. The multi-stage adaptive charging algorithm can be configured for lithium (LiFePO4) battery chemistries via the VictronConnect app. Confirm the correct absorption and float voltage settings with your specific lithium battery manufacturer before commissioning.
