SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can 150/70 Tr RS

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can is a solar charge controller with a VE.Can interface, designed to optimize energy harvesting from your solar panels and efficiently charge your batteries. It uses ultra-fast maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology to maximize energy production, even with continuous variations in light intensity.

The maximum nominal power of solar panels that the controller can handle depends on the battery system voltage:

For a 12 V system: 1000 WFor a 24 V system: 2000 WFor a 36 V system: 3000 WFor a 48 V system: 4000 WIf a higher PV power is connected, the controller will limit the input power.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can offers exceptional conversion efficiency, exceeding 98%. This high efficiency is achieved without the use of a cooling fan, ensuring silent and reliable operation.

Yes, the controller is equipped with extensive electronic protections, including:

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

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

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can (MC4 model) has dimensions of 215 x 250 x 95 mm (height x width x depth) and weighs 3 kg.

The controller integrates an innovative SmartSolar algorithm that always maximizes energy harvesting by locking onto the optimal maximum power point (MPP), even in cases of partial shading where multiple MPPs may be present on the power-voltage curve.

No, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can is designed to operate without a cooling fan. Its high conversion efficiency of over 98% enables effective heat dissipation without requiring active ventilation.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can has a fully programmable charging algorithm. It also offers eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable via a rotary switch, to adapt to different battery types and charging needs.

The controller can operate within a temperature range of -30 to +60 °C. It maintains its full nominal power up to 40 °C.

For PV panels, the MC4 model uses two pairs of MC4 connectors. For battery terminals, it uses 35 mm² / AWG2 terminals.

Up to 25 units can be synchronized via the VE.Can interface for coordinated charging. Alternatively, up to 10 units can be synchronized via Bluetooth. Synchronization ensures efficient and balanced battery charging management.

The controller is designed for indoor use 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, but is not waterproof for direct outdoor installation.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can includes temperature compensation of -16 mV / -32 mV / -64 mV / °C. This function automatically adjusts charging voltages based on battery temperature to optimize battery lifespan and performance.

The controller is compatible with 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V battery systems. It features automatic voltage selection for these systems. For a 36 V system, manual selection must be performed.

The controller supports multiple communication options for monitoring and control:

VE.Can: For wired data connection to GX devices (such as the Color Control GX) and for synchronizing multiple controllers.
VE.Direct: For wired data connection to GX devices, PCs, or other devices.
Bluetooth Smart: Built-in for configuration, monitoring, updates, and wireless synchronization with the VictronConnect app.

Yes, the controller is compatible with smart batteries (CAN-bus) and can be connected to a VE.BUS BMS via the remote on/off function. It can also use external battery voltage, temperature, and current sensors via Bluetooth, such as the Smart Battery Sense, BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor, or SmartShunt.

Yes, an optional plug-in SmartSolar LCD display is available. Simply remove the rubber gasket protecting the port at the front of the controller and plug in the display for direct monitoring.

Yes, you can monitor the controller in several ways:

Via the VictronConnect app on a smartphone or tablet using the built-in Bluetooth.Via a Victron GX device (such as the Color Control GX) connected via VE.Can or VE.Direct.Via the VRM portal (Victron Remote Management) when the controller is connected to a GX device with internet access.
