The Smartsolar MPPT 150/70-Tr VE.Can from Victron Energy (MPN SCC115070411) belongs to the latest generation of smart charge controllers from the Dutch premium manufacturer. The controller handles a full 70A of solar current and can work flexibly with 12/24/36/48V batteries. Ultra-fast power tracking and automatic power point detection under partial shading are just 2 of the many highlights of this new class of device. VE.Can is particularly suitable for systems with several solar chargers; up to 25 controllers can be synchronised with it.
Compared with the BlueSolar series, the Bluetooth module of the Smartsolar family is already permanently integrated in the controller, which makes the Smart dongle unnecessary for this device. Also new is the optional LCD display, which can simply be plugged onto the SmartSolar 150/70-Tr VE.Can when 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 safely covers the cable entries and connection terminals of the controller and protects them from external influences and accidental 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 under partial shading
In the case of partial shading, two or more points of maximum power (MPP) can be present on the current-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to settle on a local MPP, which may not be the optimal MPP. The innovative algorithm of the SmartSolar device always maximises the energy yield by locking onto the optimal MPP.
High-speed latest-generation MPP tracker
Especially under overcast skies, when the light intensity changes constantly, an extremely fast MPPT controller increases the energy yield by up to 30 % compared with PWM charge controllers and by up to 10 % compared with slower MPPT controllers.
Comprehensive electronic protection
- protection against reverse battery polarity
- PV reverse current protection
- protection against overheating of the device
- protection against short circuits
- protection against reverse PV polarity
The VE.Direct data communication port
In text mode, VE.Direct transmits all important parameters every second to other devices coupled to the charge controller, making communication with accessories such as the GX Color Control system panel possible. The VE.Direct port is intended for products where full CAN bus integration (VE.Direct) would cause excessive costs. You can find more information about VE.Direct in our Victron Energy brand shop.
