Description
xVictron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr VE.Can — SCC115070411
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr VE.Can is a solar charge controller rated for a 150V maximum PV input voltage and 70A charge current output. It is designed for professional off-grid and hybrid solar installations where network communication, system monitoring and precise battery charging are required. The VE.Can interface makes it well suited to larger multi-device systems managed through Victron's GX ecosystem.
Key Features
- 150V maximum PV open-circuit voltage, suitable for longer PV strings with higher-voltage panels.
- 70A maximum charge current output, supporting substantial battery bank charging from a single controller.
- VE.Can connectivity allows integration into Victron system networks alongside other VE.Can-compatible devices such as GX monitors, inverter/chargers and battery monitors.
- Built-in Bluetooth via the SmartSolar platform, enabling direct configuration and monitoring through the Victron Connect app without additional hardware.
- Tr (screw terminal) wiring connections for secure, permanent cable termination in fixed installations.
- True MPPT algorithm continuously tracks the maximum power point of the PV array, maximising energy harvest across varying light and temperature conditions.
- Compatible with a wide range of battery chemistries including lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium, with configurable charge profiles.
Product Overview
The 150/70 rating means this controller accepts PV arrays with an open-circuit voltage up to 150V and delivers up to 70A into the battery bank. In practice, this allows a meaningful array size to be connected without requiring parallel strings at lower voltages. The screw terminal (Tr) variant is the standard choice for fixed installations where cables are terminated once and left in place, as opposed to MC4 or other connector types.
The VE.Can bus is the key differentiator in this model compared to the standard SmartSolar range. VE.Can allows the controller to communicate directly with Victron GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX), enabling full system integration: live data, historical yield, state of charge coordination and remote monitoring via the VRM portal. In multi-controller installations, VE.Can also allows synchronised charging across several units. Bluetooth is retained for local commissioning and diagnostics via the Victron Connect app on iOS or Android.
The SmartSolar MPPT algorithm samples the PV array continuously and adjusts the operating point to extract maximum available power. This is particularly relevant in partial shading conditions or during the low-irradiance periods at the start and end of the day, where a fixed operating point would leave energy on the table.

Installation Notes
This controller handles voltages up to 150V DC on the PV input, which is hazardous and must be treated accordingly. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited solar installer familiar with DC solar systems. Ensure PV open-circuit voltage does not exceed 150V under any temperature conditions, including cold-start scenarios where Voc rises. VE.Can connections require correct termination resistors at each end of the bus; follow Victron's VE.Can network wiring guidelines. Battery chemistry and charge profile must be configured correctly before commissioning to avoid damage to the battery bank.
