SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can 150/85

The Victron Energy VE.Can solar charge controller is a SmartSolar MPPT device designed to optimize energy harvesting from photovoltaic panels. It uses an ultra-fast maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm to maximize energy production and offers advanced connectivity and protection features.

This controller uses an ultra-fast MPPT algorithm that improves energy harvesting by up to 30 % compared to PWM controllers and up to 10 % compared to slower MPPT controllers. It is particularly effective under cloudy skies where light intensity varies continuously, and features advanced maximum power point tracking even in case of partial shading.

The Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/85 VE.Can solar charge controller offers a maximum conversion efficiency exceeding 98%. This high efficiency helps optimize the energy output of your solar system.

The controller is equipped with comprehensive electronic protections, including:

Overheat protection 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 VE.Can charge controller model SCC115085511 has a nominal charging current of 85 A.

This charge controller supports battery voltages of 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V with automatic detection. A 36 V voltage can be manually configured if required.

For a 48 V battery system, this charge controller can handle a maximum nominal PV power of 4900 W. If a higher PV power is connected, the controller will limit the input power.

No, the Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/85 VE.Can charge controller operates without a cooling fan, which contributes to its silent operation and high efficiency.

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/85 VE.Can charge controller can store up to 46 days of historical trend data.

The controller stores the following trend data:

Battery voltage.Battery current.Battery temperature.Output charge current.PV voltage.PV current.

You can configure and monitor the controller in several ways:

Via the built-in Bluetooth Smart, using the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet.Via the VE.Direct ports for wired connection to GX devices, a PC, or other devices.Via the VE.Can ports for wired connection to GX devices or to synchronize multiple controllers.With the optional SmartSolar plug-in LCD display.

Yes, the controller can communicate battery voltage and temperature (and current in some cases) to one or more SmartSolar controllers via Bluetooth. This is possible using a Smart Battery Sense, a BMV-712 Smart battery monitor, or a SmartShunt.

Yes, it is possible to synchronize multiple units in parallel. You can synchronize up to 25 units via the VE.Can interface, or up to 10 units via Bluetooth for large-scale solar installations.

The controller is equipped with VE.Direct and VE.Can ports for wired connection. These ports allow connection to GX devices such as the Color Control GX, other Victron Energy products, or a PC for configuration and monitoring.

Yes, this charge controller is equipped with 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 built-in disconnect function.

The dimensions of the MC4 model (height x width x depth) are 246 x 295 x 103 mm. The weight of this charge controller is 4.5 kg.

This controller is designed for indoor installation in an unconditioned environment. It can operate within a temperature range of -30 to +60 °C (with full nominal output up to 40 °C) and 95 % humidity without condensation. The maximum altitude is 5000 m (with full nominal output up to 2000 m).

For photovoltaic panels, the controller is equipped with two pairs of MC4 connectors. For battery connection, it has 35 mm² / AWG2 terminals.

The controller can handle a maximum absolute open-circuit voltage of PV panels of 150 V under the coldest conditions. The maximum start-up and operating voltage is 145 V.

Yes, the controller is equipped with a remote on/off function, accessible via a 2-pin connector. This allows it to be connected, for example, to a VE.BUS BMS for external control.
