With a 450V maximum PV input voltage and 200A charge current, it suits installations where high string voltages and substantial charge capacity are required. MC4 connectors are integrated directly, simplifying wiring on larger arrays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e450V maximum PV open-circuit voltage, allowing longer string configurations and reduced cabling losses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e200A maximum charge current, suitable for large battery banks in off-grid and commercial applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated MC4 connectors eliminate the need for separate PV combiner wiring at the controller input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Bluetooth via the VictronConnect app for commissioning, monitoring and firmware updates without additional hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with VE.Can network, enabling integration with Victron GX devices, Cerbo GX and system monitoring platforms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide battery voltage compatibility covering 48V systems, with automatic battery voltage detection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdvanced MPPT algorithm with fast tracking, maintaining high conversion efficiency across varying irradiance conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, gel, flooded and other battery chemistries with configurable charge profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS 450\/200-MC4 sits at the top of Victron's SmartSolar MPPT RS range. The 450V PV input ceiling means installers can wire more panels in series per string, which reduces the number of parallel strings needed and lowers overall DC cabling costs. This is particularly relevant on commercial rooftops or large ground-mount systems where panel counts are high and cable runs are long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 200A charge output is substantial. At 48V nominal battery voltage, this translates to approximately 9.6kW of charge power, making the unit appropriate for battery banks in the tens of kilowatt-hours range. The controller uses Victron's established MPPT algorithm, which responds quickly to shading changes and cloud transients to keep the operating point close to the array's true maximum power point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConnectivity is a practical strength of this unit. VE.Can integration means it communicates directly with Victron GX devices for full system oversight, logging and remote monitoring via VRM. Bluetooth is built in for local access via VictronConnect on iOS or Android. No additional interface dongles are required for either connection method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border: 2px solid #f87c24; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f87c24; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eSCC145120512\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eMaximum PV Open-Circuit Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e450V\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eMaximum Charge Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e200A\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003ePV Connector Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eMC4\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eCommunication\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eBluetooth (built-in), VE.Can\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e14.1 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003eGTIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #f87c24; padding: 8px;\"\u003e8719076062752\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge off-grid systems with high-capacity battery banks requiring substantial daily charge current.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial and industrial solar installations where high PV string voltages reduce cabling complexity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHybrid systems integrated with Victron Quattro or MultiPlus inverter-chargers via VE.Can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround-mount and large rooftop arrays where MC4 direct connection simplifies the DC wiring layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote or unmanned sites using VRM remote monitoring via a Victron GX device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Victron SmartSolar MPPT RS 450\/200-MC4 charge controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis controller operates at up to 450V DC on the PV input, which is a hazardous voltage requiring installation by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited solar installer. All DC wiring, fusing and disconnection must comply with BS 7671 and applicable solar PV wiring regulations. Battery connections must be correctly rated for the 200A charge current. Verify battery chemistry and voltage settings in VictronConnect before commissioning. For systems connected to a grid-tied inverter, ensure the overall system design meets G98 or G99 requirements as applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855265530190,"sku":"SCC145120512","price":1586.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_SCC145120512_-_SmartSolar_MPPT_RS_450-200-MC4.webp?v=1781091934","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-smartsolar-mppt-rs-450-200-mc4","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
