Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-Tr VE.Can

Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-Tr VE.Can – 150 V / 85 A solar charge controller is a high-performance MPPT solar charge controller with a maximum PV input voltage of 150 V and a rated battery charge current of up to 85 A. Its ultra-fast maximum power point tracking extracts as much available energy as possible from the solar array, including under rapidly changing light conditions and partial shading.

The controller supports 12 V, 24 V, 36 V and 48 V battery systems. 12/24/48 V are selected automatically, while 36 V is selected manually. Built-in Bluetooth Smart, VE.Can and VE.Direct interfaces provide convenient configuration, monitoring, firmware updates and integration with Victron Energy GX devices and other system components.
