SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr

The MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology is an algorithm that tracks the maximum power point to allow the charge controller to maximize energy recovery from solar panels. The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr uses ultra-fast MPPT technology that improves energy harvesting by up to 30% compared to PWM controllers and 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers, especially under cloudy skies or with varying light intensity. Its innovative algorithm detects the optimal maximum power point even in partial shading, ensuring maximum energy production.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr charge controller can handle the following nominal solar panel power ratings, depending on the battery system voltage:

12 V: 1000 W
24 V: 2000 W
36 V: 3000 W
48 V: 4000 W
If a higher PV power is connected, the controller will automatically limit the input power to operate within its specifications.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller is compatible with 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V battery voltages with automatic selection. It also supports 36 V battery systems, for which the setting must be configured manually.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr charge controller delivers exceptional conversion efficiency, exceeding 98%. This high efficiency is achieved without requiring a cooling fan, and the controller maintains its full output power up to an ambient temperature of 40 °C.

No, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller is designed to operate without a cooling fan. It achieves a maximum efficiency above 98 % and maintains its full nominal power up to an ambient temperature of 40 °C thanks to its fanless design.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr charge controller integrates comprehensive electronic protections to ensure system safety and durability:

Protection against overheating and power reduction in case of high temperature.Protection against PV short-circuits and PV polarity reversal.Protection against PV reverse current.Protection against output short-circuits.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller can operate within a temperature range of -30 °C to +60 °C. It is capable of delivering its full rated power up to a temperature of 40 °C.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller is equipped with a fully discharged battery recovery function. It can initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. It can also reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with an integrated disconnect function.

For the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr model, the dimensions are 185 mm (height) x 250 mm (width) x 95 mm (depth). The controller weighs 3 kg.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller's own consumption is very low. It is less than 35 mA at 12 V and less than 20 mA at 48 V.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller integrates Bluetooth Smart, enabling configuration, monitoring, and wireless updates via the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet. For wired data connection, it also features VE.Direct and VE.Can interfaces, allowing connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, a PC, or other devices.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller allows synchronized parallel operation. You can synchronize up to 25 units via the VE.Can interface, or up to 10 units via Bluetooth (VE.Smart Networking), for coordinated charge control and increased system capacity.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller is compatible with a wide range of batteries thanks to its flexible charging algorithm. It features a fully programmable charging algorithm, as well as eight selectable pre-programmed algorithms. It is suitable for lead-acid batteries (flooded, GEL, AGM) and lithium-ion batteries, with a recovery function for fully discharged Li-ion batteries.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr charge controller can use external sensors for battery voltage and temperature. A Smart Battery Sense, BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor, or SmartShunt can be used to communicate this information (and current, in the case of a BMV-712 or SmartShunt) to one or more SmartSolar charge controllers via Bluetooth.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller is compatible with an external Battery Management System (BMS). It features a remote on/off function that can be connected, for example, to a VE.BUS BMS for coordinated battery charge and discharge management.

The maximum absolute open-circuit voltage of the PV array that the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr charge controller can withstand is 150 V in the coldest conditions. For startup and operation, the maximum voltage is 145 V.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller is designed for indoor installation in an unconditioned environment. It has an IP43 protection rating for electronic components and IP22 for the connection area, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes (IP43) or dripping water (IP22).

Yes, it is possible to add an optional display screen to the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller. This is a plug-in SmartSolar LCD display. To install it, simply remove the rubber gasket protecting the front port of the controller and plug in the display.
