Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/70-Tr VE.Can solar charge controller

The Smartsolar MPPT 250/70-Tr VE.Can from Victron Energy (MPN SCC125070421) is part of the latest generation of smart charge controllers from the Dutch premium manufacturer. The controller processes a whopping 70A of solar power and can work flexibly with 12/24/36/48V batteries. Ultra-fast power tracking and automatic power point detection in partial shade are just two of the many highlights of this new device class. VE.Can is particularly suitable for systems with multiple solar chargers, allowing up to 25 controllers to be synchronized.

Compared to the BlueSolar series, the Bluetooth module is already integrated into the controller in the SmartSolar family, making the Smart Dongle unnecessary for this device. Another new feature is the optional LCD display, which can be easily attached to the SmartSolar 250/70-Tr VE.Can as needed. The display then provides all important information about the controller. If required , the MPPT WireBox-L 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 data communication via VE.Direct and lightning-fast Bluetooth module

Modern Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, Macbooks, and other devices can be connected thanks to the permanently integrated 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 device 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.

Comprehensive electronic protection

• Protection against reverse battery connection
• PV reverse current block
• Protection against device overheating
• Short circuit protection
• 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.
