Description
xVictron SmartSolar MPPT 250/100-Tr VE.Can — SCC125110412
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/100-Tr VE.Can is a high-capacity solar charge controller designed for large off-grid, marine, and commercial installations. It accepts a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 250V and delivers up to 100A of charge current, making it suited to substantial battery banks where precise, efficient charging is essential. The VE.Can interface enables direct integration into Victron system networks alongside other compatible devices.
Key Features
- Maximum PV input voltage of 250V open-circuit, supporting large series-connected panel strings.
- 100A maximum charge current output, capable of handling significant solar array capacity.
- Built-in Bluetooth via the SmartSolar platform, allowing configuration and monitoring through the Victron Connect app without additional hardware.
- VE.Can port for integration with Victron GX devices, enabling full system monitoring, data logging, and remote access via VRM.
- Tr (screw terminal) connection type for secure, high-current DC wiring in permanent installations.
- Supports multiple battery chemistries including lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium, with user-configurable charge algorithms.
- Load output functionality allows direct connection of DC loads with programmable control based on battery state of charge.
- Ultra-fast maximum power point tracking algorithm responds quickly to changing irradiance conditions.
Product Overview
The 250/100 rating means this controller can accept PV strings wired to produce up to 250V open-circuit voltage, which allows longer series strings and reduces cable losses on larger arrays. The 100A output is sufficient to charge a 24V or 48V battery bank from a substantial solar array. At 48V nominal, this equates to a maximum solar input of around 5,800W, making it a practical choice for off-grid cabins, large boats, vehicles, and commercial remote power systems.
The VE.Can interface is a key differentiator at this level of the SmartSolar range. It allows the controller to communicate directly with Victron GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX) over a CAN bus network, enabling full system integration with inverter/chargers, battery monitors, and other Victron components. Multiple VE.Can devices can be networked together, which is particularly useful in larger installations with more than one charge controller. Configuration, real-time data, and historical logs are all accessible through the Victron VRM portal when a GX device is present.
The screw terminal (Tr) variant is designed for fixed installations where ring-lugged or bare-wire terminations are preferred over MC4 or other connector types. The unit weighs 4.5kg and is built for panel or wall mounting in a protected enclosure or equipment room.

Installation Notes
This controller operates at up to 250V DC on the PV input, which is a hazardous voltage requiring careful handling and appropriate DC isolation. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited solar installer familiar with high-voltage DC systems. Ensure PV string voltage does not exceed 250V under any temperature condition, including cold-start open-circuit voltage. The VE.Can bus requires correct termination resistors at each end of the network; Victron supplies RJ45 terminators for this purpose. For systems connected to the grid or involving battery storage in a domestic setting, consult your DNO and ensure compliance with applicable UK wiring regulations (BS 7671).
