Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100/ 30 - 440W Solar Input
Published on 09/23/2026 at 21:58 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 is a compact solar charge controller for 12V and 24V battery systems. Its 30A charge rating, 100V maximum photovoltaic open-circuit voltage, and built-in Bluetooth put system data within reach of a phone or tablet.
Electrical Ratings and Layout
The controller automatically selects 12V or 24V battery voltage. Rated charge current is 30A, while nominal photovoltaic input is 440W in a 12V system and 880W in a 24V system.
Solar-array limits are equally specific: the maximum open-circuit voltage is 100V, and maximum photovoltaic short-circuit current is 35A. The controller reaches a stated maximum efficiency of 98%, with input power limited when the connected array exceeds the rated system capacity.
The enclosure measures 130 x 186 x 70 mm and weighs 1.3 kg. Its power terminals accept 16 mm² or AWG6 conductors, while the protection rating is IP43 for electronic components and IP22 for the connection area.
Monitoring and Battery Control
Bluetooth communication works through the VictronConnect app, and the VE.Direct port supports connection to compatible communication equipment. The app can display operating data, configure settings, update firmware, and maintain a 30-day performance history.
The adaptive charging system uses bulk, absorption, and float stages, with eight pre-programmed algorithms or a user-defined algorithm. Compatibility covers lithium, AGM, gel, and flooded batteries, with adjustable absorption values of 14.4V or 28.8V and float values of 13.8V or 27.6V.
Temperature-compensated charging, over-temperature protection, output short-circuit protection, photovoltaic reverse-polarity protection, and reverse-current safeguards address common installation risks. Operating temperature is rated from -30 degrees Celsius to +60 degrees Celsius, with full rated output up to 40 degrees Celsius.
Where the 100/30 Fits
The MPPT 100/30 sits below Victron's 100/50 model in charging capacity. The 100/50 is rated for 50A and 700W on 12V or 1,400W on 24V, while the 100/30 is rated for 30A, 440W, and 880W at those respective battery voltages.
That difference makes the 100/30 suited to smaller off-grid arrays, recreational vehicles, boats, and compact backup systems. It can also coordinate with other SmartSolar controllers through Bluetooth or a GX communication center, allowing multiple units to synchronize charging stages.
US retail listings identify the exact part number as SCC110030210. A current listed price is $135.15 as of 09/23/2026, while a five-year limited warranty is stated for the power product.
Verdict for Small Solar Systems
The Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 is a technical fit for 12V and 24V installations that stay within its 30A, 100V, and photovoltaic wattage limits. Built-in Bluetooth adds useful visibility without a separate wireless dongle, but the lower current rating makes the 100/50 the appropriate comparison when a system exceeds 440W at 12V or 880W at 24V.
