Meanwhile, the most important not-to-exceed spec on an MPPT Solar Charge Controller (SCC) is the input voltage. If you just use the Voc and do not adjust for temperature extremes for your area, you might burn out the SCC. Example: The Victron SmartSolar 75/15 has a 75 Volt limit on its PV input. The QCell 250 Watt Poly Solar Panel has a 37.49V Voc.
@Lupo. As @Stefanie mentions the manual described the internal temperature sensor use in the manual is described as temp compensation charging and a low temps allows small current charge as you were seeing.. The protections of the mppt are described in the technical section of the manual. Low temperature cut off is not one of them as a stand alone
Yes, it will work. I have the Victron BMV-712 connected to my two Victron 100/50 MPPT solar charge controllers. Once that Bluetooth connection is made, the solar charge controllers get the temperature from the BMV-712''s probe and - as near as I can tell - ignore their internal sensor.

My question is this, how does the Charge controller know the state of charge of the battery, given that when in full sunlight the output voltage to the battery rises as high as15v and the Controller shows SOC at 100% one minute (when it can''t be as it''s not physically put enough WH into the battery to charge it from the 50% it dipped to overnight).
Wrong configuration (voltage or current set too low). The charger is externally controlled (ESS or DVCC). See the Solar charger externally controlled chapter. The battery temperature is too high and temperature-compensated charging is active or set incorrectly, see the Wrong temperature compensation setting chapter. Reverse PV polarity.

The main culprit is usually a solar panel with a high output voltage. When the output voltage of the solar panel is more than the maximum voltage limit of the controller, it can cause all sorts of problems. The most common one is that the controller will switch off automatically to prevent damage.
If the battery voltage becomes too high, the charge controller will shut off the power to prevent damage. High voltage is a key reason why solar panels can wear out. If the battery's voltage climbs too high, it could harm the cells. Understanding solar charge controllers for solar panels often have a set maximum voltage they can handle.
The most common one is that the controller will switch off automatically to prevent damage. This problem can be caused by a faulty solar panel or a controller with a too low voltage limit. If you see that your controller keeps shutting off, then check the output voltage of the solar panel. The voltage should be between 18 and 22 volts.
When the battery's voltage gets too low, it can't supply power, and to avoid any damage, the controller turns everything off. If your solar panel charge controller is turning off but there's still a lot of sun, you should check the battery voltage. It needs to be between 12 and 13 volts. If it's not, you've found the issue.
If the voltage from the solar panel exceeds what the charge controller can handle, it can lead to issues. Often, the controller will shut down to avoid damage. This could be because of a problem with the solar panel or because the controller's maximum voltage limit is set too low.
