Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr: High-Performance Solar Charge Controller for 12V, 24V, and 48V Systems
Advanced MPPT Technology for Maximum Energy Harvest
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr is a professional-grade solar charge controller engineered to extract the maximum available power from your photovoltaic array. Utilising ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), this controller continuously adapts to changing light conditions, delivering up to 30% more energy compared to traditional PWM controllers and up to 10% more than slower MPPT alternatives. This is particularly beneficial under partially cloudy skies or intermittent shading, where rapid adjustments are critical.
With an exceptional peak conversion efficiency of 99% and full rated output up to 40°C ambient temperature, the 250/60-Tr ensures minimal energy loss and reliable operation without the need for a cooling fan. Its advanced algorithm excels in partial shading scenarios, intelligently locating the global maximum power point rather than settling for a local peak, thereby safeguarding your energy yield in real-world installations.
Seamless Connectivity and Intelligent Control
Built-in Bluetooth Smart enables wireless configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates via the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet. Access real-time data on solar production, battery state of charge, and historical performance. For wired integration, the VE.Direct port allows connection to GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX or Color Control GX), PCs, or other compatible equipment, forming the backbone of a comprehensive energy management system.
The controller supports fully programmable charge algorithms alongside eight pre-defined battery presets, selectable via a rotary switch. This flexibility accommodates a wide range of battery chemistries, including lithium, AGM, and gel. An internal temperature sensor automatically compensates charge voltages, while optional external sensing via a Smart Battery Sense or BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor provides precise voltage and temperature data at the battery terminals for enhanced accuracy.
Robust Protection and System Integration
Designed for demanding environments, the SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr incorporates extensive electronic safeguards: PV reverse polarity protection, PV short circuit protection, and over-temperature protection with power derating. The unit is rated IP43 for electronics and IP22 for the connection area, making it suitable for indoor, unconditioned spaces. A programmable relay can be configured for alarms or load control, and a remote on/off terminal allows integration with a VE.BUS BMS for lithium battery systems.
Up to 10 controllers can be synchronised via Bluetooth for parallel operation, enabling scalable solar arrays. The 35 mm² (AWG 2) battery and PV terminals accept large gauge cable, minimising resistive losses in high-current installations.
