SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can 250/100 Tr RS

The Victron Energy VE.Can interface is a communication protocol integrated into SmartSolar MPPT solar charge controllers. It is designed for the integration and advanced management of energy systems, particularly in marine applications. It enables the connection and synchronization of multiple devices within a unified network, facilitating monitoring and performance optimization of your solar installation.

The ultra-fast MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology enables the charge controller to significantly improve energy harvesting. In cloudy conditions or with continuous changes in light intensity, the controller quickly adapts to find the maximum power point. This can increase energy production by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.

In case of partial shading, the power-voltage curve of a solar panel can have multiple maximum power points (MPP). Conventional MPPTs tend to lock onto a local MPP, which is not always the optimal MPP. The innovative SmartSolar algorithm always maximizes energy harvest by locking onto the optimal MPP, ensuring superior performance even under complex shading conditions.

The SmartSolar MPPT charge controller with VE.Can interface offers exceptional conversion efficiency. Its maximum efficiency exceeds 98%, and it operates without a cooling fan, which contributes to its reliability and durability.

Yes, the charge controller is equipped with extended electronic protection to ensure the safety and longevity of the system. This includes:

Protection against overheating and power reduction when temperature is high.Protection against PV short circuits and PV polarity reversal.Protection against PV reverse current.

The charge controller features a flexible and fully programmable charging algorithm. It also comes with eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable via a rotary switch. This allows precise adaptation of the charging process to the specific needs of your battery type and application.

Yes, Bluetooth Smart is integrated into the charge controller. This wireless feature allows you to configure, monitor, update, and synchronize SmartSolar charge controllers. It provides a convenient solution for managing your system via the VictronConnect app on smartphone or tablet.

The charge controller records detailed trend data. This data includes battery voltage, current, and temperature, as well as charge output current, PV voltage, and PV current. This information is stored for 46 days, enabling in-depth analysis of system performance over an extended period.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT charge controller has a fully discharged battery recovery function. It can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. It will also reconnect a fully discharged Li-ion battery equipped with an integrated disconnection function.

The charge controller is designed to operate within a temperature range of -30 to +60 °C. It can deliver its full rated power up to an ambient temperature of 40 °C.

The controller's own consumption is very low. It is less than 35 mA for a 12 V system and less than 20 mA for a 48 V system, thus minimizing the impact on the battery when there is no solar production.

Yes, the charge controller can be used up to a maximum altitude of 5,000 meters. However, its full nominal power is guaranteed up to 2,000 meters.

The charge controller has an IP43 protection rating for electronic components, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes. The connection area has an IP22 rating, providing protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and water drops at a 15-degree angle.

The VE.Can interface allows wired connection of data to devices such as the Color Control GX, other Victron Energy GX products, or a PC. This connectivity enables centralized monitoring and management of your power system.

The VE.Can protocol allows synchronizing up to 25 SmartSolar MPPT charge controller units for parallel operation. This capability is ideal for large-scale solar installations requiring multiple controllers.

Yes, external voltage, temperature, and battery current sensors can be connected via Bluetooth. Devices such as a Smart Battery Sense, an intelligent BMV-712 battery monitor, or a SmartShunt can be used to relay this data to one or more SmartSolar charge controllers, improving charge accuracy.

The SmartSolar MPPT charge controller with VE.Can interface supports automatic selection of battery voltages of 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V. Manual configuration is also possible for 36 V systems.

Yes, the charge controller is compatible with lithium batteries. It has a function that allows it to reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with an integrated disconnect function, which is essential for managing this type of battery.

The charge controller is designed for indoor installation in an unconditioned environment. It is important to consult the user manual for specific mounting instructions to ensure adequate ventilation and optimal operation.

For a wired data connection, the charge controller is equipped with VE.Can and VE.Direct ports. These ports allow it to be connected to a Color Control GX, other GX products, a PC, or other devices for data transmission and monitoring.
