xVictron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr — SCC125060221
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr is a high-voltage solar charge controller designed for professional off-grid and hybrid solar installations. It accepts a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 250V and delivers up to 60A of charge current, making it well suited to larger battery banks and multi-panel arrays. Built-in Bluetooth allows direct configuration and monitoring via the Victron Connect app without additional hardware.
Key Features
- Maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 250V, supporting larger series-connected panel strings.
- 60A maximum charge current output, suitable for 12V, 24V and 48V battery systems.
- Built-in Bluetooth for wireless configuration and real-time monitoring via the VictronConnect app on iOS and Android.
- True MPPT algorithm with rapid tracking, maintaining high conversion efficiency across varying irradiance conditions.
- Screw terminal (Tr) connection type for reliable, field-serviceable wiring on permanent installations.
- Compatible with lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, gel, flooded and other battery chemistries via configurable charge profiles.
- VE.Direct port for integration with Victron GX devices, CCGX, Cerbo GX and Venus OS systems.
- Integrated load output control and streetlight function available via VictronConnect.
- Supports remote monitoring and firmware updates via VRM portal when connected to a GX device.
Product Overview
The 250/60-Tr sits in the upper tier of Victron's SmartSolar MPPT range. The 250V PV input rating allows installers to wire panels in longer series strings, which reduces cable losses and simplifies array wiring compared to lower-voltage controllers. At 60A output, it can deliver up to 2880W into a 48V battery bank, 1440W into 24V, or 720W into 12V, giving genuine flexibility across residential, commercial and off-grid system sizes.
The screw terminal (Tr) variant is the standard choice for fixed installations where cables are terminated once and left in place. Victron's MPPT algorithm continuously sweeps the power curve to find the true maximum power point, which is particularly important in partial shading or when panel temperature shifts the IV curve during the day. The controller also includes an absorption and float charge cycle, with optional equalisation for flooded lead-acid batteries.
Integration with the wider Victron ecosystem is straightforward. The VE.Direct port connects to any GX device, enabling system-level monitoring, data logging to the VRM portal, and coordinated control alongside Victron inverter-chargers and battery monitors. Bluetooth is always available as a standalone configuration and diagnostic tool, even on sites without a GX device.

Installation Notes
The SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr operates at up to 250V DC on the PV input. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited solar installer. Ensure PV string voltage does not exceed 250V under any temperature condition, including cold-start open-circuit voltage. Battery polarity must be connected correctly before the PV array is connected. For systems integrated with grid-tied inverters in the UK, confirm G98 or G99 compliance requirements with your DNO. Lithium battery profiles should be configured precisely to match the battery manufacturer's specifications before commissioning.
