The Smartsolar MPPT 150/70-tr from Victron Energy (MPN SCC115070210) is part of the latest generation of smart solar controllers from the Dutch premium manufacturer and processes a whopping 70A of solar power and can work flexibly with 12/24/36/48 V batteries. Ultra-fast power tracking and automatic power point detection in the event of partial shading are just two of the many highlights of this new device class. The SmartSolar 150/70-tr is also available as a version with MC4 connections on the solar side of the charge controller instead of screw terminals. This model can also be operated in parallel with other controllers of the same type.

Compared to the BlueSolar series, the Bluetooth module is already integrated in the controller of the Smartsolar family, making the smart dongle superfluous for this device. Another new feature is the optional LCD display, which can simply be attached to the SmartSolar 150/70-tr as required. The display then provides all the important information about the controller

Smart data communication via VE.Direct and lightning-fast Bluetooth

Modern Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, Macbooks and other devices can be connected thanks to the permanently integrated Bluetooth module and the free Victron Connect APP. The app can then be used to configure many important functions of the MPPT 150/70-tr SmartSolar controller. Of course, it also provides all important parameters such as the current solar yield in real time.

Automatic detection of the maximum power point in the event of partial shading

In the event of partial shading, there may be two or more maximum power points (MPP) on the current-voltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to adjust to a local MPP. However, this may not be the optimum MPP. The innovative algorithm of the SmartSolar 150/70-tr will always maximize the energy yield by adjusting to the optimal MPP.

High-speed MPP tracker of the latest generation

An extremely fast MPPT controller improves the energy yield by up to 30 % compared to PWM charging controllers and by up to 10 % compared to slower MPPT controllers, especially under cloudy skies when the light intensity is constantly changing.

Comprehensive electronic protection

• Protection against reverse polarity battery connection
• PV reverse current block
• Protection against overheating of the device
• Protection against short circuits
• Protection against reverse polarity PV connection

The VE.Direct data communication port

VE.Direct in text mode transmits all important parameters every second to other devices that are coupled with the charge controller and thus offers the possibility of communication with additional devices Systempanel GX Color Control. The VE.Direct connection is intended for products where full Canbus integration (VE-Direct) would be too expensive. You can find more information about VE.Direct in our Victron Energy brand store.
