SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can 250/85 Tr RS

The Victron Energy VE.Can is a Victron Energy VE.Can SmartSolar MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar charge controller designed to optimize energy harvesting in photovoltaic systems. It uses an ultra-fast MPPT algorithm to maximize energy production, even under cloudy skies or with partial shading, and includes advanced connectivity and protection features.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller offers a maximum conversion efficiency exceeding 98%. This high efficiency minimizes energy losses during solar current conversion.

The controller integrates an innovative algorithm for advanced maximum power point (MPP) detection. In case of partial shading, multiple maximum power points may exist on the power-voltage curve. The SmartSolar algorithm is designed to always lock onto the optimal MPP, thus ensuring maximum energy harvesting.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller is equipped with extensive electronic protections, including:

Overheat protection with power reduction.Protection against PV short circuits.Protection against PV polarity reversal.Protection against PV reverse current.

Yes, the controller has several remote monitoring and configuration options:

Bluetooth Smart: Enables configuration, monitoring, updates, and synchronization via the VictronConnect app on a smartphone or tablet. VE.Can and VE.Direct: Provide wired connections for tracking and control via GX devices such as the Color Control GX, a PC, or other devices.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller supports battery voltages of 12 V, 24 V and 48 V with automatic selection. For a 36 V battery, selection must be performed manually.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can model can handle the following nominal PV power ratings:

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

No, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller is designed to operate without a cooling fan, thanks to its excellent conversion efficiency exceeding 98%.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can regulator's own consumption is low, at less than 35 mA for a 12 V system and less than 20 mA for a 48 V system.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller is compatible with a wide range of battery types. It features a fully programmable charging algorithm and eight selectable pre-programmed algorithms, making it suitable for lead-acid batteries (flooded, gel, AGM) and lithium-ion batteries, including reconnection functionality for fully discharged Li-ion batteries with integrated disconnect.

You can synchronize multiple SmartSolar VE.Can charge controllers in two ways:

Via the VE.Can interface: up to 25 units can be synchronized for parallel operation.Via Smart Bluetooth: up to 10 units can be synchronized.This synchronization ensures consistent and optimized charging in large-scale systems.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller can connect to other Victron Energy devices. It can be wired to GX products, such as the Color Control GX, for centralized monitoring and control of your entire energy system.

Yes, the regulator can integrate external battery voltage and temperature data. This can be done via Bluetooth using a Smart Battery Sense, a BMV-712 Smart battery monitor, or a SmartShunt. These devices can also communicate battery current in the case of the BMV-712 or SmartShunt.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller offers several data communication options:

VE.Can: For synchronizing multiple units and connecting to GX devices.
VE.Direct: For wired connection to other GX devices, PCs, or other devices.
Bluetooth Smart: For wireless configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app.

The dimensions and weight of the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller depend on the model:

Tr models (screw terminals): 185 mm (height) x 250 mm (width) x 95 mm (depth).
MC4 models (MC4 connectors): 215 mm (height) x 250 mm (width) x 95 mm (depth).
The weight of this model is approximately 3 kg.

For optimal installation, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller is designed to operate under the following environmental conditions:

Operating temperature: From -30 to +60 °C (full nominal power up to 40 °C).Humidity: 95%, no condensation.Maximum altitude: 5000 m (full nominal power up to 2000 m).Environmental condition: Indoor, non-climate-controlled.Pollution degree: PD3.

For the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can model:

The PV terminals can be either two pairs of MC4 connectors (for MC4 models) or 35 mm² / AWG2 terminals (for Tr models). The battery terminals are 35 mm² / AWG2 type.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller provides the following IP protection levels:

IP43: For electronic components, providing protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes. IP22: For the connection area, providing protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and water dripping at a maximum tilt of 15°.

Yes, the SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 VE.Can charge controller is equipped with a remote on/off function. It has a 2-pole connector that can be used for this feature, for example to connect to a VE.BUS BMS.
