A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.
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 sulphated or otherwise damaged.
The SmartSolar MPPT is packed with advanced technology to get the most out of your solar panels whilst protecting your batteries. It operates at 98% efficiency with natural cooling and is engineered to withstand the toughest conditions.
These solar chargers are available in two different models:
- The TR version - The PV terminals are screw terminals
- The MC4 version - The PV terminals are MC4 terminals (MC4 model has 2 MC4 male and female connector pairs).

Maximise your energy harvest
The SmartSolar MPPT extracts every bit of energy from the sunlight, even in partially shaded conditions. Extremely fast power point tracking and intelligent charge algorithms make it happen.
Synchronise to behave as one
Multiple MPPTs can coordinate, using Bluetooth or a GX communication centre connected to the VE.Can port. This allows them to switch through charge stages simultaneously, extending battery life and ensuring peak system efficiency.
Intelligent charge algorithm
Get the most out of your solar panels while protecting your batteries with adaptive charging. The MPPT solar charge controller automatically switches between bulk, absorption, and float stages, with intelligent algorithms tailored to your battery type.
Works with most battery types
Compatible with lithium, AGM, gel, and flooded batteries, the MPPT solar charge controller offers automatic voltage selection and a dedicated charging profile for each battery type. It can even revive fully discharged batteries.
Built-in Extras
Models 150/70 to 250/100 offer extra built-in features. These include relay and on/off terminals for automated load management and remote operation, and an optional plug-in display (sold separately) for viewing essential device information. MC4 models come with MC4 connectors for quick, secure solar panel connections.
VE.Direct port
The VE.Direct port connects to a communication centre for access to VRM, Victron’s remote management portal. Configure settings, check system data, analyse performance, and actively manage your system from anywhere in the world.
Extends battery life
The SmartSolar MPPT prioritises battery care with built-in SafetyShield+ features, based on decades of battery know-how. These include temperature-compensated charging, over-temperature protection, and safeguards against PV short-circuits, reverse polarity, and reverse current.
Easy setup & integration
Get started quickly with VictronConnect, our user-friendly smartphone app trusted by millions worldwide. Extensive battery presets make configuration simple for new or existing systems, while the app gives you control over features like load output settings, charging profiles, and real-time performance monitoring.
VictronConnect App - The pocket powerhouse
The VictronConnect app connects you to your energy system, delivering real-time data and a 30-day performance history. Configure devices, update firmware, and create custom alarms, easily adapting a setup to your exact needs.
VRM (Remote Monitoring Portal) - Master remote management
Connect to the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal with a communication centre to operate your system remotely. Use VRM app widgets, create custom data views to monitor key parameters, manage multiple systems simultaneously, and set up alerts to prevent issues.
Solar & Wind Priority - Save on shore power
Victron’s Solar & Wind Priority feature automatically favours the energy harvested by the SmartSolar MPPT to charge your batteries. Shore power is only used as a safety net to prevent deep discharge. This feature requires an inverter/charger and GX device to coordinate the system.
Solar Forcase - Plan for tomorrow’s solar harvest today
The VRM portal combines your system’s historic performance data with local weather forecasts to predict how much solar power you could generate in the coming days. Plan your energy use accordingly and make the most of every sunny day.
Applications: Whenever and wherever the sun shines, the SmartSolar MPPT charge controller will extract maximum power from your panels.
- Marine: Get a higher solar yield while out on the water. The SmartSolar MPPT excels in changing conditions, handling partial shading from sails, clouds, and moving objects while protecting your batteries.
- Off-grid systems: Become even more self-sufficient by synchronising multiple SmartSolar MPPTs to work as one. This improves solar harvest, boosts system performance, and extends battery life.
- Recreational vehicles: Keep benefitting from solar power as shadows shift and change on the road. Engineered for mobile life, the SmartSolar MPPT maintains peak performance through vibration, movement, and changing conditions.
- Hybrid generators: Save fuel by converting more solar energy, using the MPPT’s fast power point tracking technology. Manage multiple generators remotely and monitor critical parameters with custom VRM widgets and push notifications.
