SmartSolar Pluggable Display

The SmartSolar Pluggable Display is an optional display designed for Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT solar charge controllers. It provides direct and immediate visualization of your solar system's performance data by plugging directly into the controller's housing.

This display is compatible with large SmartSolar MPPT charge controller models. According to Victron Energy documentation, this includes models from the 150/60-Tr, 150/60-MC4, 150/70-Tr, 150/70-MC4, 150/70-Tr VE.Can, 150/70-MC4 VE.Can, 150/85-Tr VE.Can, 150/85-MC4 VE.Can, 150/100-Tr VE.Can, 150/100-MC4 VE.Can, 250/60-Tr, 250/60-MC4, 250/70-Tr, 250/70-MC4, 250/70-Tr VE.Can, 250/70-MC4 VE.Can, 250/85-Tr VE.Can, 250/85-MC4 VE.Can, 250/100-Tr VE.Can and 250/100-MC4 VE.Can series.

Installation is simple and quick. The display plugs directly into the designated slot on the SmartSolar MPPT charge controller’s housing, with no additional external wiring required.

The display allows you to view performance data from your solar system, such as battery voltage, charge current, solar power, and the operating status of the charge controller. It provides an immediate overview of key parameters.

No, it does not fully replace the VictronConnect app or a GX device. It is a local monitoring option that complements these tools, providing direct and quick visual access to data without needing a smartphone or a remote display via VE.Direct. The VictronConnect app and GX devices offer more advanced monitoring and configuration features.

Yes, it is possible to modify certain autopilot settings via the SmartSolar Pluggable Display, as indicated in the « Configuration and settings » section of the compatible autopilot manuals.

No, the display is powered directly by the SmartSolar MPPT charge controller to which it is connected. No external power supply is required.

The SmartSolar Pluggable Display plugs directly into the housing of large SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers for immediate display. The MPPT Control, on the other hand, is a display unit that connects to all charge controller models (SmartSolar and BlueSolar) via a VE.Direct cable, allowing for remote installation.

No, the SmartSolar Pluggable Display is an optional accessory sold separately. It is not included as standard with SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers.

Yes, its plug-and-play design and intuitive interface make it very easy to use. Once connected, it directly displays the essential information from the solar system.

Yes, on SmartSolar models, Bluetooth can be disabled if you prefer not to use it, even if the pluggable display is installed. The display operates independently of the Bluetooth connection.

No, the SmartSolar Pluggable Display is specifically designed to plug into the housing of the larger SmartSolar MPPT charge controller models. It is not compatible with small models such as the 75/10, 75/15, 100/15, or 100/20.

No, no cables are included or required. The display is designed to plug directly into the dedicated slot on the compatible controller.

The main advantage is the instant and direct visualization of data without requiring a smartphone or tablet. This is ideal for quick and local monitoring of your solar installation, especially when you are near the charge controller.

No, installing this optional and officially certified Victron Energy accessory, when used with a compatible charge controller, does not affect the charge controller's warranty.

No, the SmartSolar Pluggable Display is an optional accessory. The SmartSolar MPPT charge controller operates perfectly without this display; monitoring can be done via the VictronConnect app or a GX device.

Charge controllers considered as compatible 'large models' are typically those with higher charge currents and higher PV voltages, specifically the 150/60 and 250/60 series and above. You can verify exact compatibility in your charge controller's technical documentation or on Victron Energy's website, by referring to the models listed as supporting 'SmartSolar ctrl'.

Yes, the SmartSolar Pluggable Display provides direct local monitoring, while a GX device enables remote monitoring via the VE.Direct port and the VE.Can port (on compatible models) and the VRM portal. Both options can be used simultaneously for complete system monitoring.
