Product Description
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70-Tr is a solar charge controller built for off-grid and battery-based installations that need precise charging and remote oversight. It accepts up to 150V from the PV array and delivers up to 70A of charge current, with built-in Bluetooth for direct setup and monitoring through the VictronConnect app.
Key features
- PV input, 150V maximum open-circuit voltage, suitable for series-strung panels feeding 12V, 24V or 48V battery banks (auto-select).
- Charge current, 70A rated output for larger battery banks from a single unit.
- Efficiency, up to 98% maximum efficiency from the MPPT tracking stage.
- Bluetooth, built-in wireless connection to VictronConnect for configuration, monitoring and firmware updates.
- TR terminals, screw terminal connections on PV and battery sides for field-serviceable wiring.
- VE.Direct port, connects to Victron GX devices such as Cerbo GX for system integration and VRM portal access.
Battery compatibility
Charge algorithms are configurable through VictronConnect for lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, gel and flooded batteries, with a dedicated lithium algorithm and support for a stop signal from a Victron Battery Management System. A load output terminal allows DC loads to be switched directly from the controller based on battery state of charge.
Applications
The 150/70-Tr suits off-grid cabins and homes, marine and narrowboat systems, motorhomes and other vehicle-based arrays, and agricultural or rural sites where remote monitoring through VRM is useful. It also fits Victron-integrated installations built around a Cerbo GX or other GX device.
Installation notes
Fitting should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced solar installer. PV open-circuit voltage can reach 150V, so string sizing must account for cold-weather Voc rise and stay within that limit at all times. Battery-side wiring needs fusing sized for the 70A charge current, and lithium installations require a compatible BMS connection following the battery manufacturer's guidance.
