SmartSolar MPPT VE CAN 250V-100A with VE.CAN Port

The MPPT VE.Can SmartSolar charger uses the latest and fastest technology to convert energy from a solar array into energy that optimally charges battery banks.

The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulfated or otherwise damaged.

MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking

The MPPT VE.Can SmartSolar charger connects to a PV array of 150 or 250 Volt Voc and will automatically detect and charge your 12, 24, or 48V battery bank with current ranging from 70 to 100A depending on the model.

The charge settings are fully programmable and can even be set up for different battery chemistries, like lead-acid, lithium, and others.

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 synchronize 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 VE.Can SmartSolar 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.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the SmartSolar MPPT controller regularly using a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals that could damage the device or its components. Keep the cooling vents free from obstruction to ensure proper airflow.

• Ensure Proper Ventilation: Install the unit in a well-ventilated area with sufficient airflow to prevent overheating. Keep the environment around the unit clear of obstructions to promote optimal heat dissipation and efficient operation.

• Inspect Wiring and Connections: Periodically check all wiring and connections, including input and output terminals, for any signs of wear, loose connections, or corrosion. Tighten any loose connections and clean any corrosion to maintain a secure and efficient power transfer.

• Monitor Solar Panel Performance: Use the Victron app or display to track the solar array’s performance. Ensure that the system is generating the correct voltage and current. If you notice a significant drop in performance, inspect the solar panels, wiring, or the charge controller itself.

• Test Charging Performance: Regularly check that the charge controller is charging the batteries efficiently, staying within the correct voltage and current range for your battery type. Monitor the system for any irregularities or dips in performance that may indicate a malfunction.

• Firmware Updates: Check for any available firmware updates for your SmartSolar MPPT. If the unit has VE.Can capability, ensure that you apply the latest updates from Victron Energy to improve functionality, features, and overall performance.

• Avoid Overloading: Ensure that the voltage input from your solar panels does not exceed the rated input voltage (250V) and that the current doesn’t exceed the maximum output rating (100A). Overloading the unit can cause overheating or damage, so make sure to use the unit within its specified limits.

• Inspect for External Damage: Regularly inspect the housing for signs of physical damage, including cracks, dents, or signs of wear. If any damage is detected, it is important to address it promptly to prevent compromising the unit's protection or functionality.
