Description
xVictron BlueSolar MPPT 100/20 (up to 48V) Retail — SCC110020170R
The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 100/20 is a solar charge controller designed for 12V, 24V and 48V battery systems. It accepts a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 100V and delivers up to 20A of charge current. It suits off-grid installations, mobile systems and small-scale solar setups where a compact, reliable MPPT controller is required.
Key Features
- Maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 100V, compatible with a wide range of panel configurations.
- Up to 20A maximum charge current, supporting 12V, 24V and 48V battery banks.
- MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm extracts maximum available power from the PV array under varying conditions.
- Automatic battery voltage detection at 12V, 24V and 48V on startup.
- Suitable for lead-acid (AGM, Gel, flooded) and lithium battery chemistries.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.6kg, making it straightforward to mount in confined spaces.
- Retail packaging included, suitable for resale or direct supply to end customers.
Product Overview
The BlueSolar MPPT 100/20 uses Victron's MPPT charge algorithm to continuously track the maximum power point of the connected solar array. This is particularly useful when panel temperature fluctuates or when partial shading affects output, as the controller adjusts in real time rather than operating at a fixed voltage point. The result is more energy harvested from the same array compared to PWM controllers, especially in cooler conditions or during morning and evening hours.
The 100V maximum PV input voltage gives flexibility when wiring panels in series, allowing the use of two higher-voltage panels in series on a 12V or 24V battery system without exceeding the controller's input limit. The 48V battery compatibility makes this unit usable in larger off-grid systems where a higher battery voltage is preferred for efficiency over longer cable runs. Automatic voltage detection on first connection simplifies commissioning, though the battery voltage should be confirmed before connecting to avoid incorrect detection.
This is the retail variant (SCC110020170R), supplied in retail packaging. It is functionally identical to the standard version and is appropriate for resellers or installers supplying the unit directly to an end user.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced solar installer. 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. Confirm battery bank voltage before first connection to ensure correct auto-detection. For off-grid systems, no G98 or G99 grid notification is required, but all wiring must comply with BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). Use appropriately rated DC fusing and cabling between the PV array, controller and battery.
