xVictron SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-MC4 VE.Can Solar Charge Controller
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-MC4 VE.Can is a high-current solar charge controller designed for large battery-based solar systems. It accepts a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 150V and delivers up to 100A of charge current, making it suited to professional off-grid, marine, and commercial installations where high output and network integration are required.
Key Features
- Maximum PV input voltage of 150V and maximum charge current of 100A for high-capacity solar arrays.
- MC4 connectors integrated directly on the unit, eliminating the need for separate MC4 adaptor cables at the PV input.
- VE.Can port enables integration into Victron system networks alongside GX devices, other VE.Can-compatible components, and NMEA 2000 marine networks.
- Built-in Bluetooth via VictronConnect for wireless configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates from a smartphone or tablet.
- Advanced MPPT algorithm with ultra-fast tracking to maximise energy harvest, including under rapidly changing irradiance conditions.
- Supports multiple battery chemistries including lithium-ion, AGM, gel, and flooded lead-acid, with user-configurable charge profiles.
- Load output functionality allows direct connection of DC loads with programmable control based on battery state of charge.
- Comprehensive protection: reverse polarity, over-temperature, over-current, and short-circuit protection built in.
Product Overview
The 150/100 rating means this controller can handle a PV array with an open-circuit voltage up to 150V and deliver up to 100A into the battery bank. At 12V that equates to around 1,300W of solar input; at 48V the figure rises to approximately 5,000W. This makes the unit appropriate for medium to large off-grid systems, large marine installations, and commercial applications where a single high-current controller is preferable to multiple smaller units.
The VE.Can interface is the key differentiator over the standard SmartSolar 150/100. It allows the controller to communicate directly with Victron GX devices (Cerbo GX, Venus GX, and similar) over a CAN-bus network, enabling full system integration, data logging, and remote monitoring via the VRM portal. The same port supports NMEA 2000, which is relevant for marine installations requiring chart plotter or MFD integration. The MC4 connectors on the unit itself simplify wiring at the PV input and reduce potential connection points in the string circuit.
VictronConnect Bluetooth is active out of the box. No dongle or additional hardware is needed to configure charge parameters, view live data, or update firmware. For permanent monitoring and system-level control, connection to a GX device via VE.Can is the recommended approach.

- Telecoms, remote monitoring stations, and other critical off-grid infrastructure requiring reliable high-current charging.
What Is Included
- Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-MC4 VE.Can charge controller
- VE.Can RJ45 terminator (required at each end of a VE.Can bus)
- Mounting hardware
Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited solar installer. The PV input voltage must not exceed 150V under any conditions, including cold-temperature open-circuit conditions; string design must account for this. Battery bank connections at 100A require appropriately rated cabling and fusing in line with BS 7671 wiring regulations. When connecting to a VE.Can network, ensure the bus is correctly terminated at both ends using the supplied RJ45 terminators. For NMEA 2000 integration on marine vessels, follow the relevant NMEA 2000 network wiring standards. Lithium battery profiles should only be used with battery management systems that provide cell-level protection.
