Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr VE.Can
Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT): Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30 % compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10 % compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection: in case of partial shading conditions If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points (MPP) may be present on the power-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP. The innovative SmartSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.
Outstanding conversion efficiency: No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98 %.
Flexible charge algorithm: Fully programmable charge algorithm, and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details).
Extensive electronic protection: Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high. PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection. PV reverse current protection.
Bluetooth Smart built-in: The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
Internal temperature sensor and optional external battery voltage, temperature and current sensing via Bluetooth: A Smart Battery Sense, a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor or a SmartShunt can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature (and current, in case of a BMV-712 or a SmartShunt) to one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
VE.Direct or VE.Can: For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices
Fully discharged battery recovery function: Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with integrated disconnect function.
VE.Can: the multiple controller solution: Up to 25 units can be synchronised with VE.Can, and up to 10 units with Bluetooth
Remote on-off: To connect for example to a VE.BUS BMS.
Programmable relay: Can be programmed to trip on an alarm, or other events.
Optional: SmartSolar pluggable LCD display: Simply remove the rubber seal that protects the plug on the front of the controller, and plug-in the display.

| 1a) If more PV power is connected, the controller will limit input power. 1b) The PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5 V for the controller to start. Thereafter the minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1 V. 2) A PV array with a higher short circuit current may damage the controller. 3) MC4 models: several splitter pairs may be needed to parallel the strings of solar panels Maximum current per MC4 connector: 30 A (the MC4 connectors are parallel connected to one MPPT tracker) | |
