Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/85-Tr VE.Can

Description

Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions

If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power (MPP) points may be present on the power-voltage curve.
Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP.
The innovative SmartSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.

Outstanding conversion efficiency

No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 99 %.

Flexible charge algorithm

Fully programmable charge algorithm, and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details).

Extensive electronic protection

Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high.
PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection.
PV reverse current protection.

Bluetooth Smart built-in

The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
Internal temperature sensor and optional external battery voltage, temperature and current sensing via Bluetooth

A Smart Battery Sense, a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor or a SmartShunt can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature (and current, in case of a BMV 712 or a SmartShunt) to one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers.

VE.Direct or VE.Can

For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices.

Synchronized parallel charging with VE.Can or Bluetooth

Up to 25 units can be synchronized with VE.Can, and up to 10 units with Bluetooth.

Fully discharged battery recovery function

Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts.
Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with integrated disconnect function.

VE.Can: the multiple controller solution

Up to 25 units can be synchronised with VE.Can.

Remote on-off

To connect for example to a VE.BUS BMS.

Programmable relay

Can be programmed to trip on an alarm, or other events.

Optional: SmartSolar pluggable LCD display

Simply remove the rubber seal that protects the plug on the front of the controller, and plug-in the display.
