Victron SmartSolar 250/85-Tr VE.Can MPPT
Robust and fast MPPT controller with VE.Can for demanding conditions with panel voltage up to 250 V , charging current 85 A. Battery 12/24/48 V , PV max. 1200/2400/4900 Wp . Built-in Bluetooth and connector for plug-in display.
VE.Can: solution for multiple solar controllers in one system
With the VE.Can function, up to 25 units in one PV system can be synchronized.
Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Victron Energy MPPT solar controllers are among the absolute world leaders in this field and offer ultra-fast MPPT tracking. Especially under cloudy skies with continuously changing irradiance, this controller provides solar gains of 30% higher than with classic PWM controllers or 10% higher than with slow MPPT controllers. Especially in partial shade, two or more maximum power points can be given. Conventional MPPT controllers strive to maintain power at a local power point, which may not correspond to the optimal (maximum) power point.
Excellent efficiency of up to 98%, without unnecessary energy loss with silent passive cooling without a fan.
Built-in Bluetooth Smart
You can monitor and configure your SmartSolar MPPT controller via your smartphone or tablet. You can monitor current status and historical data and make parameter settings using the VictronConnect mobile app, which can be downloaded for free from Google Play or the App Store.
If you want to do the above using a PC, then you can use the VE.direct to USB cable to connect the controller and the PC. You just need to install the Victron Connect program on your computer, which you can download for free again at the same address as above.
SmartSolar plug-in display (not included)
An additional SmartSolar plug-in display can be purchased as an accessory. The display plugs into the connector on the front of the controller and allows you to visualize all operating states and make parameter settings.
Remote on/off input
An external device can easily turn the controller on/off.
Built-in programmable relay
It can also be programmed using a mobile phone, for example as an alarm relay.
Internal temperature sensor and optional external battery voltage and temperature sensing via Bluetooth
A "smart battery sensor" or the BMV-712 intelligent battery monitor can be used to communicate with the battery.
Recommended configuration
The maximum power of PV panels is 1200 Wp for 12 V systems, 2400 Wp for 24 V systems and 4900 Wp for 48 V systems. If these values are exceeded, the controller will not be damaged, but will only automatically reduce the power coming from the panels to acceptable values.
The maximum input short-circuit current to the controller from the PV panels must not exceed 70 A, otherwise permanent damage may occur.
The maximum input voltage of PV panels, referred to as Voc (open-circuit voltage), must not exceed 250 V, otherwise permanent damage may occur - it must be taken into account that Voc increases with decreasing temperature.
Flexible charging algorithm
Fully programmable charging algorithm and eight pre-programmed algorithms that can be selected using the rotary switch (see manual for details).
This more powerful series of solar controllers is not equipped with a DC output. To connect a DC load to the battery, we recommend using a "BP Battery Protection" with a maximum load current of up to 220 A.
Warning: Victron Energy MPPT controllers are not permitted to be used in combination with photovoltaic panel optimizers. When used, damage to both MPPT controllers and optimizers may occur and this damage may not be recognized as a valid complaint.
