The Smartsolar MPPT 150/100-MC4 VE.Can from Victron Energy,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. The devices in classes 150/45 to 150/100-MC4 VE.Can are also available in a version with Tr screw connections on the solar side of the charge controller. In addition, this model is capable of parallel operation with other controllers of the same type.
In comparison to the BlueSolar series, the Bluetooth module is already permanently integrated into the controller in the Smartsolar family, making the smart dongle superfluous in this device.
Also new is the optionally available LCD display, which can simply be plugged onto the SmartSolar as required. The display then provides all the important information about the controller. If required, the MPPT WireBox-XL 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 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.
VE.Can: the solution for multiple controllers
With VE.Can or Bluetooth, up to 25 or 10 charge controllers can be connected to the SmartSolar controller. or up to 10 charge controllers can be connected in series for synchronous charging and connected to a Color Control GX or another GX device.
Each controller can be monitored individually, for example on a Color Control GX and on the VRM website (VE.Can) or on a smartphone or iPad (Bluetooth)
Automatic detection of the maximum power point
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 optimum MPP. The innovative algorithm of the SmartSolar device will always maximize the energy yield by adjusting to the optimal MPP.
High-speed MPP tracker
In particular in overcast conditions, when light intensity is constantly changing, an extremely fast MPPT controller improves the 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 prefer to operate and configure the Smartsolar MPPT 150/100-Tr directly, you can retrofit the Smartsolar Control SCC900600010 display. The display makes it easy to configure the controller via key input and also provides all important performance data at a glance.
Comprehensive electronic protection
Protection against reverse polarity battery connection
PV reverse current blocking
Protection against overheating of the device
Protection against short circuits
Protection against reverse polarity PV connection
VE.Direct data communication port
VE.Direct in text mode transmits all important parameters to other devices connected to the charge controller every second and thus offers the option of communicating with additional GX Color Control system panels. The VE.Direct connection is intended for products where full Canbus integration (VE-Direct) would be too expensive.
