Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/85‑Tr VE.Can – 85A Solar Charge Controller
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/85‑Tr VE.Can is a high‑performance 85A solar charge controller designed to maximise the energy harvested from your solar PV array while protecting and extending the life of your battery bank. Its ultra‑fast MPPT tracking, intelligent battery management and advanced connectivity make it ideal for both residential and professional off‑grid or hybrid solar installations.
Key Product Highlights
- 85A MPPT solar charge controller for 12V, 24V, 36V (manual) and 48V battery systems, providing excellent flexibility across domestic and commercial setups.
- Ultra‑fast Maximum Power Point Tracking technology to optimise solar harvest, even in changing light or partial shading conditions.
- Supports large PV arrays up to 1200W at 12V, 2400W at 24V, 3600W at 36V and 4900W at 48V, making it suitable for high‑demand systems.
- Maximum PV open‑circuit voltage of 150V and PV short‑circuit current up to 70A for flexible string design and efficient cable runs.
- Integrated Bluetooth, VE.Direct and VE.Can communication for local and remote monitoring, configuration and system expansion.
- Multi‑stage adaptive charging with flexible algorithms to enhance battery health and lifespan on lead‑acid and lithium batteries.
- Extensive electronic protection including over‑temperature derating, PV reverse polarity and short‑circuit protection for long‑term reliability.
- High peak efficiency up to approximately 98%, fan‑free design and robust enclosure for quiet, low‑maintenance operation.
- 5‑year manufacturer’s warranty for added peace of mind.
Why Buy This Controller
- Maximise energy yield: Ultra‑fast MPPT ensures you capture the maximum possible power from your solar panels across all weather conditions.
- Protect your battery investment: Adaptive multi‑stage charging and BatteryLife management help prevent under‑ and over‑charging, improving battery lifespan and performance.
- Future‑ready and scalable: VE.Can allows multiple SmartSolar units to be daisy‑chained and synchronised, ideal for growing systems or larger professional projects.
- Easy monitoring and control: Built‑in Bluetooth works with the VictronConnect app, while VE.Direct and VE.Can enable integration with GX monitoring devices for in‑depth system insights.
- Reliable in demanding environments: Wide operating temperature range, high humidity tolerance and solid ingress protection make it a robust choice for indoor technical spaces.
Suitable For
- Homeowners upgrading or installing off‑grid, backup or hybrid solar systems with 12V, 24V, 36V or 48V battery banks.
- Trade professionals designing larger residential, commercial or light industrial PV systems requiring high current and advanced monitoring.
- Battery‑based systems using lead‑acid (flooded, AGM, gel) or lithium batteries needing precise, configurable charging control.
- Applications with long cable runs or higher‑voltage PV strings, thanks to 150V max PV open‑circuit capability.
- Installations requiring parallel operation of multiple controllers for higher total charging capacity.
Key Features
- Ultra‑fast MPPT tracking continuously adjusts the operating point of the PV array for maximum energy capture.
- Advanced MPPT detection maintains optimal performance in partial shading by seeking the global maximum power point rather than a local peak.
- Automatic battery voltage recognition for 12V, 24V and 48V systems (36V selectable via software), simplifying setup.
- BatteryLife intelligent battery management, with load shedding logic on compatible models, helps prevent chronic under‑charging.
- Flexible charge algorithm with eight pre‑set profiles and full programmability for bespoke charging curves.
- Operates with very low battery voltages (down to approximately 0V if cells are not permanently damaged), assisting recovery of deeply discharged batteries.
- Comprehensive protections including PV reverse polarity, output short‑circuit and over‑temperature, plus automatic power de‑rating at high temperatures.
- VE.Can bus allows synchronised operation of up to 25 SmartSolar VE.Can units in larger systems.
- Optional SmartSolar Control display for on‑device status, configuration and system overview.
