Advanced Solar Yield Optimisation for Off-Grid Systems

Maximise your solar energy harvest with the highly efficient Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-MC4 VE.Can. Engineered for demanding off-grid, marine, and mobile power systems, this robust solar charge controller ensures your battery bank reaches full charge in the shortest possible time. By utilising ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), the controller intelligently adapts to constantly changing environmental conditions, capturing every available drop of power from your solar panels.

Ultra-Fast MPPT and Partial Shading Performance

In off-grid environments, weather patterns and shading are unpredictable. Traditional controllers often struggle to maintain optimal performance when clouds pass overhead or trees cast partial shadows across an array. The advanced MPPT algorithm in this unit excels in these challenging conditions. By continuously sweeping the voltage curve and identifying the optimal maximum power point, it significantly outperforms conventional regulators, delivering up to 30% more power than PWM charge controllers and improving upon slower MPPT models by up to 10%.

Seamless Networking with VE.Can Integration

A standout feature of this specific model is the integrated VE.Can networking port. This allows for the synchronisation of up to 25 VE.Can-equipped charge controllers within a single system. When daisy-chained together, these units operate as a unified charging source, perfectly synchronising their charge states to prolong battery life and optimise overall system efficiency. This makes it an ideal solution for large-scale residential, commercial, or heavy-duty marine applications where expanding your solar array is a future possibility.

Intelligent Wireless Monitoring and Control

Built-in Bluetooth provides complete control directly from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Using the free VictronConnect app, you can easily configure settings, view real-time data such as solar yield and battery voltage, and access 30 days of historical performance logs. For users who prefer physical interfaces, the unit includes a port for an optional plug-in LCD display, offering instant visual feedback directly on the device face.

Key Features

  • Ultra-fast MPPT technology for superior energy harvest in variable light conditions
  • VE.Can communication supports daisy-chaining up to 25 units for synchronised charging
  • Built-in Bluetooth for wireless configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app
  • Standard MC4 connectors for fast, secure wiring directly from your solar array
  • Advanced partial shading detection maintains optimal output when panels are partially obstructed
  • Internal temperature sensor automatically compensates charging voltages to protect your batteries
  • Programmable relay and remote ON/OFF capability for advanced system integration

Robust Construction and Battery Protection

Protecting your expensive battery bank is critical. The fully programmable battery charge algorithm allows for precise tailoring to specific battery chemistries, including lead-acid, AGM, Gel, and Lithium-ion. Combined with internal temperature compensation, the controller actively prevents overcharging and excessive gassing. The sturdy design includes heavy-duty side brackets for secure wall mounting, while the integrated MC4 terminals ensure weather-resistant, industry-standard connections to your photovoltaic array.
