Victron SmartSolar 150 85-Tr VE.Can MPPT solar controller

Victron SmartSolar 150/85-Tr VE.Can MPPT

Robust and fast MPPT controller with VE.Can for demanding conditions with panel voltage up to 150 V, charging current 85 A. Battery 12/24/48 V, PV max. 1200/2400/4900 Wp. Built-in Bluetooth and connector for plug-in display.

VE.Can: solution for multiple solar controllers in one system

With the VE.Can function, up to 25 units in one PV system can be synchronized.

Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Victron Energy MPPT solar controllers are among the absolute world leaders in this field and offer ultra-fast MPPT tracking. Especially in cloudy skies with continuously changing irradiance, this controller increases solar gains by 30% compared to classic PWM controllers or by 10% compared to slow MPPT controllers. Especially in partial shading, two or more maximum power points can be given. Conventional MPPT controllers tend to maintain power at the local power point, which may not correspond to the optimal (maximum) power point.

• Excellent efficiency of up to 98%, without unnecessary energy losses with silent passive cooling without a fan.

Built-in Bluetooth Smart

You can monitor and configure the SmartSolar MPPT controller via a smartphone or tablet. You can monitor current status and historical data and set parameters using the VictronConnect mobile application, which can be downloaded for free on Google Play or in the App Store.

• If you want to do the above using a PC, then you can use the VE.direct to USB cable to connect the controller and the PC. You just need to install the Victron Connect program on your computer, which you can download for free at the same address as above.

SmartSolar plug-in display (not included)

It is possible to purchase an additional SmartSolar plug-in display as an accessory. The display plugs into the connector on the front of the controller and allows you to visualize all operating states and make parameter settings.

Remote on/off input

An external device can easily turn the controller on/off.

Built-in programmable relay

Can also be programmed using a mobile phone, for example as an alarm relay.

Internal temperature sensor and optional external battery voltage and temperature sensing via Bluetooth

A "smart battery sensor" or the BMV-712 intelligent battery monitor can be used to communicate with the battery.

Recommended configuration

The maximum power of PV panels is 1200 Wp for 12 V systems, 2400 Wp for 24 V systems and 4900 Wp for 48 V systems. If these values ​​are exceeded, the controller will not be damaged, but will only automatically reduce the power coming from the panels to acceptable values.

The maximum input short-circuit current to the controller from the PV panels must not exceed 70 A, otherwise permanent damage may occur.

• The maximum input voltage of the PV panels, referred to as Voc (open circuit voltage), must not exceed 150 V, otherwise permanent damage may occur - it must be taken into account that Voc increases with decreasing temperature.

Flexible charging algorithm

Fully programmable charging algorithm and eight pre-programmed algorithms that can be selected using a rotary switch (see manual for details).

This more powerful series of solar controllers is not equipped with a DC output. For connecting DC loads to the battery, we recommend using the “BP Battery Protection” with a maximum load current of up to 220 A.
