Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/100-Tr charge controller VE.Can

The Smartsolar MPPT 250/100-tr from Victron Energy (MPN SCC125110210) is part of the latest generation of smart solar controllers from the Dutch premium manufacturer. Ultra-fast power tracking and automatic power point detection in partial shade are just two of the many highlights of this new device class. This model also supports parallel operation with other controllers of the same type.

Compared to the Smartsolar 150/..... series, the 250/.... series can process a maximum PV input voltage of 250V. This is also one of the reasons why the 250 solar controller family has been able to increase its efficiency by another 1 percent to a total of 99%, setting new standards in the industry. Among all the solar charge controllers we know, this value is currently the best. Compared to the BlueSolar family, the Bluetooth module is already integrated into the 250 SmartSolar series, making the Smart Dongle unnecessary for this device if you want to analyze and configure the controller via Bluetooth using a smartphone or tablet. Another new feature is the optionally available LCD display, which can be easily attached to the SmartSolar 150/85-tr as needed. The display then provides all important information about the controller. If required, the MPPT WireBox-XL Tr from Victron Energy is the ideal addition to your SmartSolar charge controller. It securely covers the cable entries and connection terminals of the controller, protecting them from external influences and contact.

smart configuration and analysis via Victron Connect app

Modern Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, Macbooks, and other devices can be connected thanks to the built-in Bluetooth module and the free Victron Connect app. The app can then be used to configure many important functions of the SmartSolar controller. Of course, it also provides all important parameters such as the current solar yield in real time.

automatic detection of the maximum power point in case of partial shading

In the event of partial shading, there may be two or more maximum power points (MPP) on the current-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to adjust to a local MPP. However, this may not be the optimal MPP. The innovative algorithm of the SmartSolar controller will always maximize energy yield by adjusting to the optimal MPP.

Latest generation high-speed MPP tracker

Especially when the sky is overcast and the light intensity is constantly changing, an extremely fast MPPT controller improves energy yield by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.

optional LCD display available for retrofitting

If you prefer to operate and configure the Smartsolar MPPT 250/100-tr directly, you can retrofit the Smartsolar Control SCC900600010 display. Installation is as simple as plugging the display into the SmartSolar. The display allows easy configuration of the controller via key input and also provides all important performance data at a glance.

comprehensive electronic protection

• Protection against reverse polarity battery connection
• PV reverse current block
• Protection against device overheating
• Protection against short circuits
• Protection against reverse polarity PV connection

the VE.Direct data communication port

VE.Direct in text mode transmits all important parameters to other devices connected to the charge controller every second, thus enabling communication with additional devices such as the GX Color Control system panel. The VE.Direct connection is intended for products where full Canbus integration (VE-Direct) would incur excessive costs. You can find more information about VE.Direct in our Victron Energy brand shop.

optionally also available as a version with MC4 connectors

The 250/60-Tr to 250/100-Tr devices are also available in a version with MC4 connectors on the solar side of the charge controller instead of screw terminals.
