SmartSolar Charge Controllers with VE.Can interface
MPPT 250/70 VE.Can up to MPPT 250/100 VE.Can

Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast
MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30 % compared to PWM charge controllers
and by up to 10 % compared to slower MPPT controllers.
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
SmartSolar Charge Controller Fully programmable charge algorithm, and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a
MPPT 250/100-Tr VE.Can rotary switch (see manual for details).
with optional pluggable display
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.

1a) If more PV power is connected, the controller will limit input power.
1b) The PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5 V for the controller to start. Thereafter the minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1 V.
2) A PV array with a higher short circuit current may damage the controller.
