Description
xVictron BlueSolar MPPT 100/15 Charge Controller
The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 100/15 is a solar charge controller designed for small to medium off-grid systems. It accepts a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 100V and delivers up to 15A of charge current, making it suitable for 12V and 24V battery banks. It is aimed at installers and system builders working on caravans, boats, cabins and small off-grid installations.
Key Features
- Maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 100V, with a 15A maximum charge current output.
- Compatible with 12V and 24V battery systems, with automatic voltage detection.
- True MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm extracts maximum available power from the solar array under varying conditions.
- Supports lead-acid battery chemistries (gel, AGM, flooded) and lithium-ion batteries.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.55kg, suitable for space-constrained installations.
- Load output with street lighting and timer functions built in.
- Bluetooth connectivity available via optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle.
- VE.Direct communication port for monitoring and configuration via Victron software tools.
Product Overview
The BlueSolar MPPT 100/15 uses Victron's MPPT algorithm to continuously track the maximum power point of the connected solar array. This is particularly valuable when panel temperature or partial shading causes the power curve to shift, as the controller adjusts in real time rather than operating at a fixed voltage. Compared to PWM controllers, MPPT technology typically recovers more usable energy from the same panel array, especially in cooler conditions or when the panel voltage is significantly higher than the battery voltage.
The 100V maximum input voltage allows the use of higher-voltage panels or small series strings, giving installers more flexibility in panel selection without requiring a separate combiner or voltage step-down. The controller automatically detects whether the battery bank is 12V or 24V on first connection, which simplifies commissioning. Battery charge parameters can be adjusted via the VE.Direct port using VictronConnect software, allowing fine-tuning for specific battery types and capacities.
The built-in load output supports direct connection of DC loads up to the controller's rated current, with configurable street lighting and timer control modes. This removes the need for a separate load controller in simple off-grid setups where a managed DC output is required.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a competent person with experience in 12V or 24V DC solar systems. Ensure the PV array open-circuit voltage does not exceed 100V under any conditions, including cold temperatures, which can raise Voc above the STC-rated figure. Correct fusing between the battery and controller is required. For lithium battery installations, verify that the battery BMS is compatible with the charge profile settings available on this controller. VictronConnect software (free, via VE.Direct interface or optional Bluetooth dongle) is recommended for commissioning and parameter configuration.
