Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-Tr VE.CAN: Advanced Solar Charge Controller for High-Power Off-Grid Systems
Maximise Energy Harvest with Ultra-Fast MPPT Technology
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-Tr VE.CAN is a premium solar charge controller engineered for demanding off-grid solar systems, caravan solar installations, and marine energy setups. Its ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm continuously adjusts to shifting light conditions, capturing up to 30% more energy than traditional PWM controllers and up to 10% more than slower MPPT units. This ensures your batteries receive optimal charge even during intermittent cloud cover or partial shading.
Designed for 12V, 24V, and 48V battery banks, this controller supports up to 4900W of solar input at 48V, making it ideal for large residential, commercial, or mobile power systems. The integrated VE.Can communication port enables seamless networking with other Victron components, while built-in Bluetooth Smart allows wireless configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app.
Advanced Partial Shading Optimisation
Unlike conventional controllers that may lock onto a suboptimal power point under partial shading, the SmartSolar algorithm dynamically scans the power-voltage curve to locate the true global maximum power point. This advanced MPPT detection is critical for installations where panels experience uneven shading from trees, masts, or nearby structures, ensuring consistent energy yield throughout the day.
High-Efficiency, Fanless Design
With a peak conversion efficiency exceeding 98%, the 150/85-Tr operates without a cooling fan, relying on passive thermal management. This fanless architecture reduces maintenance, eliminates noise, and enhances long-term reliability, particularly in dusty or marine environments where fan intakes can clog. The controller automatically derates power output at elevated temperatures to protect internal components, maintaining safe operation up to 60°C ambient.
Comprehensive Battery Management
The fully programmable charge algorithm supports eight pre-set battery profiles selectable via a rotary switch, plus user-defined settings for custom chemistries. An internal temperature sensor provides automatic compensation for absorption and float voltages, safeguarding battery health across temperature extremes. The controller also features a programmable relay that can trigger alarms, activate generators, or disconnect loads based on voltage, state of charge, or other events.
Key Features
- Ultra-fast MPPT for superior energy harvest in variable light
- 98% peak efficiency with fanless, maintenance-free operation
- VE.Can and Bluetooth for advanced networking and wireless control
- Parallel synchronised operation for up to 25 units via VE.Can
- Extensive electronic protection including PV reverse polarity and short circuit
- IP43-rated electronics for resilience in damp or dusty conditions
Seamless System Integration
The VE.Can interface allows daisy-chaining multiple controllers to a single GX monitoring device, such as the Color Control GX or Cerbo GX, for centralised management of large solar arrays. For smaller setups, Bluetooth Smart provides instant access to live data, historical logs, and firmware updates directly from your smartphone. The optional plug-in LCD display offers at-a-glance status without needing a mobile device.
Heavy-duty 35 mm² (AWG2) screw terminals for both PV and battery connections accommodate large gauge cables, minimising resistive losses in high-current installations. The robust aluminium enclosure and IP43 protection rating ensure reliable performance in challenging environments, from coastal marine vessels to remote off-grid cabins.
Built for Australian Conditions
Whether you're powering a caravan solar system, a marine battery bank, or a remote off-grid installation, the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-Tr delivers consistent, efficient charging. Its wide operating temperature range and corrosion-resistant construction make it suitable for Australia's diverse climates, from tropical humidity to arid heat.
