The search results confirm the specifications and features provided in the original product description. Key verified details: * **Model:** Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/35 (SCC020035000) * **Brand:** Victron Energy * **Product Type:** Solar Charge Controller * **Voltage:** 12/24/48V auto select (36V via software) * **Rated Charge Current:** 35A * **Max PV Open Circuit Voltage:** 150V absolute maximum, 145V start-up and operating maximum * **Nominal PV Power:** 12V: 500W; 24V: 1000W; 36V: 1500W; 48V: 2000W (The input only listed 12V: 500W, but the search results provide for all voltages, which is better to include). * **Max. PV Short Circuit Current:** 40A (from input, some sources say 35A for 150/35, but the input is consistent with other sources for "Max. PV Short Circuit Current" being slightly higher than rated charge current for safety/design margin). I will stick to the input's 40A as it's a "Max. PV Short Circuit Current" not "Max. Battery Current". The Victron manual lists "Max. PV short circuit current" as 35A for 150/35, which contradicts the input and other retailer sites. I will use 35A for "Max. PV Short Circuit Current" as per the official manual. * **Efficiency:** >98% * **Protection Category:** IP43 (electronic components), IP22 (connection area) * **Dimensions:** H130 x W186 x D70mm * **Weight:** 1.25Kg * **Bluetooth:** Not built-in; requires VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle for wireless monitoring/configuration. * **Features:** Ultrafast MPPT, Advanced MPP Detection (partial shading), Flexible charge algorithm (8 pre-programmed, fully programmable), Extensive electronic protection (over-temp, PV short circuit, PV reverse polarity, PV reverse current), Internal temperature sensor, VE.Direct communication port. * **Warranty:** 5 Years I will update the "Max. PV Short Circuit Current" to 35A based on the official manual. Now I have all the necessary information to generate the HTML.

Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/35 Solar Charge Controller
35A | 12/24/48V | 150V PV Input
The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/35 is a high-performance solar charge controller designed to maximise energy harvest from your photovoltaic (PV) array and efficiently charge your battery bank. Utilising advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, this controller intelligently optimises power delivery, ensuring your batteries reach full charge in the shortest possible time and maintaining their health for extended life.
Ideal for a wide range of off-grid and grid-tied solar applications, the BlueSolar MPPT 150/35 automatically adapts to 12V, 24V, or 48V battery systems, handling a maximum PV open circuit voltage of 150V. Its robust design and comprehensive protection features make it a reliable choice for demanding solar installations in the UK and beyond.
KEY BENEFIT: Ultrafast MPPT ensures up to 30% more energy harvest compared to PWM controllers.
KEY FEATURES
| ▶ Ultrafast MPPT Technology — Maximises energy harvest by up to 30% over PWM controllers, especially under continuously changing light conditions. |
| ▶ Advanced Partial Shading Detection — Innovative algorithm ensures optimal power point tracking even when partial shading creates multiple power peaks. |
| ▶ Outstanding Conversion Efficiency — Achieves over 98% efficiency without a cooling fan, delivering full output current up to 40°C. |
| ▶ Flexible Charge Algorithm — Features eight pre-programmed algorithms and is fully programmable for various battery chemistries. |
| ▶ Extensive Electronic Protection — Includes over-temperature, PV short circuit, PV reverse polarity, and PV reverse current protection. |
| ▶ Internal Temperature Sensor — Compensates absorption and float charge voltages for ambient temperature, ensuring accurate and safe charging. |
| ▶ VE.Direct Communication Port — Allows for wired data display options via ColorControl GX or other GX devices, or wireless monitoring with an optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. |

COMMON QUESTIONS
What is MPPT and why is it important?
MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking. It's an electronic tracking system that finds the optimal voltage and current at which solar panels can produce maximum power. This is crucial because solar panel output varies with temperature and sunlight intensity. An MPPT controller, like the BlueSolar 150/35, can improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to older PWM controllers, especially in cloudy or low-light conditions.
Can I monitor this charge controller remotely?
Yes, the BlueSolar MPPT 150/35 features a VE.Direct communication port. For wired monitoring, it can connect to Victron's ColorControl GX or other GX devices. For wireless monitoring via a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device, a separate VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle is required.
What battery types are compatible?
The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/35 is compatible with a wide range of battery types, including Lead-Acid (Flooded, GEL, AGM) and Lithium-ion. Its flexible charge algorithm can be configured to suit specific battery requirements, with eight pre-programmed options and full programmability.
Is this model suitable for 36V battery systems?
While the controller automatically detects 12V, 24V, and 48V systems, 36V battery systems can be supported by selecting the appropriate setting via Victron's software tool.
INSTALLATION NOTES
- Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical regulations.
- Mount the charge controller vertically on a non-flammable surface, ensuring adequate clearance (at least 10cm above and below) for optimal cooling.
- Position the controller within 3 metres of the battery, but never directly above it, to prevent damage from battery gassing.
- Ensure correct wiring polarity for both the PV array and battery connections to prevent damage to the unit and connected components.
- Use appropriate fuse protection for the battery supply as specified in the product manual (e.g., 40A-45A fuse for the MPPT 150/35).
BEFORE YOU BUY
- Verify your battery bank voltage (12V, 24V, or 48V) to ensure compatibility.
- Confirm your total PV array power and open circuit voltage (Voc) are within the controller's limits (max 150V Voc).
- Consider if remote monitoring is required; a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle is needed for wireless connectivity.
- Review the product manual for detailed installation instructions and safety guidelines.
Always consult the official Victron Energy documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date specifications and installation guidance. This product comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
