Description
xVictron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-MC4 VE.Can Solar Charge Controller
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-MC4 VE.Can is a solar charge controller designed for professional off-grid and battery-based solar installations. It accepts a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 150V and delivers up to 70A of charge current, with integrated MC4 connectors for direct panel connection and VE.Can for system-level communication. It suits installers working on larger battery systems where network integration and precise charge management are required.
Key Features
- Maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 150V, suitable for series-connected panel strings.
- 70A maximum charge current, supporting substantial battery bank charging from a single controller.
- Integrated MC4 connectors on the PV input, eliminating the need for separate MC4-to-terminal adapters.
- VE.Can port enables integration with the Victron GX device ecosystem for full system monitoring and control.
- Built-in Bluetooth via the SmartSolar platform, allowing direct configuration and monitoring through the VictronConnect app without additional hardware.
- Advanced MPPT algorithm continuously tracks the maximum power point, maintaining charge efficiency across varying irradiance and temperature conditions.
- Supports multiple battery chemistries including lithium, AGM, gel and flooded lead-acid, with configurable charge profiles.
- Networked charger synchronisation via VE.Can allows multiple units to operate in parallel with coordinated charge states.
Product Overview
The 150V input ceiling gives installers flexibility to configure PV strings with a meaningful number of panels in series, reducing cable losses compared to lower-voltage designs. At 70A output, this controller can deliver substantial daily energy into a battery bank without requiring parallel units on most mid-scale systems. The MC4 connectors on the PV input are a practical detail: they connect directly to standard panel cables without additional field wiring at the controller terminals, which reduces installation time and potential connection errors.
VE.Can is Victron's CAN-bus based communication network. Connecting this controller to a Cerbo GX or other GX device gives full visibility of PV yield, charge state, battery voltage and historical data through the VRM portal. On sites with multiple SmartSolar VE.Can controllers, the network also enables synchronised charging, so all units follow the same charge phase simultaneously rather than operating independently. This matters on larger battery banks where uncoordinated chargers can cause premature absorption cycling.
Bluetooth is built in as standard. Using the VictronConnect app on a phone or tablet, an installer can configure charge voltages, battery type, absorption time and other parameters without a laptop or additional interface hardware. This is useful both during commissioning and for subsequent site visits.

Installation Notes
This controller operates at up to 150V on the PV input, which is a voltage level requiring careful string design and appropriate DC isolation precautions. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited solar installer familiar with DC system design. Battery connections must be correctly fused and sized for 70A continuous current. VE.Can requires a terminated CAN-bus network; ensure correct termination resistors are fitted at each end of the bus. Verify battery chemistry and charge voltage settings in VictronConnect before commissioning.
