• Protect and extend battery life with multi‑stage adaptive charging optimised for lead‑acid, lithium and other chemistries.
  
• Simplify system design with support for 12V, 24V, 36V (via software) and 48V battery banks from a single 150V PV input.
  
• Monitor and configure your system via built‑in Bluetooth and VE.Can networking for on‑site or remote control.
  
• Enjoy long‑term, low‑maintenance operation thanks to fan‑less, high‑efficiency electronics and robust protection features.
  

Why Buy This SmartSolar 150/100‑Tr VE.Can

• Pro‑grade performance – 100A charge current and up to 150V PV input make it ideal for larger strings and higher power PV arrays on modern systems.
  
• Future‑ready connectivity – VE.Can allows parallel operation of multiple controllers and easy integration into advanced energy systems with a GX device.
  
• Fast return on investment – outstanding conversion efficiency (up to around 98%) reduces losses, so more of the energy you generate is stored and used.
  
• Low‑temperature resilience – wide operating temperature range with automatic power derating and over‑temperature protection for reliability in tough environments.
  
• Trusted brand – Victron Energy is a recognised leader in off‑grid and hybrid power electronics with a strong track record in residential and commercial projects.
