The Smartsolar MPPT 250/100-MC4 from Victron Energy (MPN SCC125110310) 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 the event of partial shading are just two of the many highlights of this new device class. In addition, this model can operate in parallel with other controllers of the same type.
Compared to the Smartsolar 150/XXX series, the 250/XXX series can handle a maximum PV input voltage of 250V. This is one of the reasons why the 250 solar controller family was able to increase efficiency by a further 1 percent to a total of 99%, thereby setting new standards across the industry. This value is currently the best of all solar charge controllers we know of. Compared to the BlueSolar family, the Bluetooth module in the 250 Smartsolar series is already permanently integrated into the controller, which makes the Smart Dongle superfluous on this device if you want to analyze and configure the controller via Bluetooth using a smartphone or tablet. Also new is the optionally available LCD display, which can be easily plugged onto the SmartSolar 150/85-MC4 when required. The display then provides all the important information about the controller. If required, the MPPT WireBox-XL MC4 from Victron Energy is the ideal addition to your SmartSolar charge controller . It safely covers the cable entries or the connection terminals of the controller and thus protects 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 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 case 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 .
High-speed MPP -MC4acker of the latest generation
Especially under overcast skies, when 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 would rather operate and configure the Smartsolar MPPT 250/100-MC4 directly, you can retrofit the Smartsolar Control SCC900600010 display. The installation effort is limited to simply plugging the display onto the SmartSolar. The display enables the controller to be easily configured using key input, and it also provides all important performance data at a glance.
Comprehensive electronic protection
- Protection against reversed battery connection
- PV backflow preventer
- Protection against overheating of the device
- Protection against short circuits
- Protection against reversed PV connection
The VE.Direct data communication port
VE.Direct in text mode transmits all important parameters every second to other devices that are linked to the charge controller and thus offers the possibility of communication with additional devices Systempanel GX Color Control. The VE.Direct connection is intended for products where complete Canbus integration (VE-Direct) would be too expensive. You can find more information about VE.Direct in our Victron Energy brand shop.
Optionally available as a version with MC4 connectors
The devices of classes 250/60-MC4 to 250/100-MC4 are also available as a version with MC4 connections on the solar side of the charge controller instead of the screw terminals.
