SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr

MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology is an algorithm that tracks the maximum power point to enable the charge controller to maximize energy recovery from solar panels. The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr uses ultra-fast MPPT technology that improves energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM controllers and 10% compared to slower MPPT units, particularly under cloudy conditions or with fluctuating 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 W24 V: 2000 W36 V: 3000 W48 V: 4000 WIf 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 of over 98 % and maintains its full rated 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 with power reduction at high temperatures.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 operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +60°C. It can deliver its full rated power up to a temperature of 40°C.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller has 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 quiescent current consumption of the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller 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 wireless configuration, monitoring, and 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 charge controller supports 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 management and increased system capacity.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr charge controller is compatible with a wide range of batteries thanks to its flexible charging algorithm. It offers 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, a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor, or a SmartShunt can be used to communicate this data (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 management of battery charge and discharge.

The absolute maximum open-circuit voltage of the PV array that the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr charge controller can handle is 150 V under 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, an optional display screen can be added to the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr controller. This is a SmartSolar plug-in LCD screen. To install it, simply remove the rubber seal protecting the front port of the controller and plug in the screen.
