The SmartSolar MPPT 250/100-MC4 VE.Can is a Victron solar charge controller rated for 100 A of charge current, with a 250 V maximum open circuit PV voltage. Nominal PV power at 48 V is 5,800 W, and peak efficiency is 99 %. PV connections are two pairs of MC4 connectors, and short circuit current per tracker is limited to 70 A. The enclosure weighs 4.5 kg, and the controller is listed for indoor, unconditioned conditions.
Our take
The 250/100 pairs a 100 A charge rating with a 250 V open circuit input, which allows long panel strings feeding up to 5,800 W at 48 V. At 4.5 kg and listed for indoor, unconditioned use, it needs a sheltered mounting spot.
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.
