Description
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/85-MC4 VE.Can is a high-performance solar charge controller designed to optimise energy harvesting from your solar panels. With Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), this device continuously adjusts to changing sunlight conditions, ensuring maximum energy output. This feature is particularly beneficial in partially cloudy weather, where light intensity fluctuates throughout the day.
Even severely depleted batteries can be recharged, as the MPPT 250/85-MC4 VE.Can operates with battery voltages as low as 0 volts, provided the battery cells are not permanently damaged.
For ease of use, this controller includes built-in Bluetooth, allowing for remote monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect App. When connected to a Victron GX device, users can access the Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) to monitor and control their system from anywhere.
The VE.Can SmartSolar charger supports daisy-chaining multiple units via a single RJ45 cable, ensuring synchronised charging stages and centralised data monitoring through a GX device. The MC4 connectors provide hassle-free installation, making this model ideal for large solar arrays requiring high-power handling.
For enhanced usability, an optional LCD display allows real-time system monitoring and control directly from the unit. With 99% efficiency, 85A charging capacity, and 5-year warranty, the SmartSolar MPPT 250/85-MC4 VE.Can is a top choice for maximising solar energy storage.
Key Features
Features of the SmartSolar MPPT 250/85-MC4 VE.Can
MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking
By constantly monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels, MPPT technology ensures that every drop of available power is rinsed out of your panels, and harvested for storage. The advantage of this is most noticeable when the sky is partially clouded, and light intensity is constantly changing.
Remote Monitoring and Control
Remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger with built-in Bluetooth by pairing it with your smartphone or other device via VictronConnect. If your installation is connected to the internet with a GX device, the Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both VictronConnect and VRM are free to use. For remote installations – even when there is no internet connection nearby – you may be able to monitor your MPPT by connecting the GlobalLink 520.
Control Your Charger Remotely
The MPPT VE.Can SmartSolar charger can be remotely controlled and configured over Bluetooth via the VictronConnect App. This allows device set-up, management, and at-a-glance information, such as battery voltage and current, PV voltage and current, and historical data.
Daisy Chain Additional Units
The VE.Can SmartSolar charger is equipped with CAN bus ports. This allows for communication with additional VE.Can SmartSolar chargers. The additional units are simply “daisy chained” to each other with a single RJ45 cable between the individual units.
When connected to each other, all individual VE.Can SmartSolar chargers, will synchronise their charge stages. They can also send their data, via a single cable, to a GX monitoring device.
Remote Monitoring and Control
If the GX device is connected to the internet, the Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your solar charger(s).
For remote installations – even when there is no internet connection nearby – you may be able to monitor your MPPT by connecting the GlobalLink 520.
SmartSolar Control Display
The SmartSolar MPPT 250/85-MC4 VE.Can charger is also equipped with a VE.Direct port like our other MPPT solar chargers. This port can be for single unit monitoring or for streetlight control. The remote on/off connector can be externally controlled by a third-party device like a lithium battery. An optional plug-in LCD display/control provides live-data, set-up and management, straight from the face of the device.
