The SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-MC4 VE.Can is a Victron solar charge controller rated for 100 A of charge current, with a 150 V maximum open circuit PV voltage. It selects 12, 24 or 48 V battery voltage automatically, and nominal PV power at 48 V is 5,800 W. Peak efficiency is 98 %. PV connections are three pairs of MC4 connectors, and short circuit current per tracker tops out at 70 A. It is listed for indoor, unconditioned conditions.
Our take
Three pairs of MC4 connectors and a 100 A charge rating suit the 150/100 to arrays up to 5,800 W at 48 V, but the 150 V open circuit ceiling and the 70 A short circuit limit per tracker set how the panels have to be strung.
From our buying guide
NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
