Networked MPPT Solar Charge Controller for Large Solar and Energy Storage Systems

The SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can solar charge controller manages solar energy harvesting while supporting coordinated operation across larger installations. VE.Can connectivity allows multiple compatible controllers to be daisy-chained and connected to a GX device for centralised monitoring, reducing the amount of individual communications wiring required. Advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking continuously adjusts solar input operation to maximise available energy, including during changing light and partial shading conditions. Built-in Bluetooth provides configuration, monitoring, firmware updates and synchronisation through VictronConnect, while VE.Direct remains available for wired communication and compatible accessories.

Key Features

VE.Can daisy-chain networking: Multiple compatible charge controllers can be connected together and monitored through a compatible GX device.
Synchronised parallel charging: Supports coordinated charging through VE.Can or Bluetooth for multi-controller solar installations.
Advanced MPPT tracking: Identifies the optimum operating point of the solar array to maximise available energy under variable and partially shaded conditions.
Built-in Bluetooth: Enables setup, monitoring, firmware updates and synchronisation through the VictronConnect app.
VE.Direct connectivity: Provides an additional wired communication interface for compatible monitoring equipment and accessories.
Flexible charge programming: Supports adaptive multi-stage charging with pre-configured profiles or a user-defined charging algorithm.
Remote on/off: Supports integration with compatible system controls and battery management equipment.
Programmable relay: Can be configured to respond to alarms and other operating conditions.
Battery sensing support: Compatible with Smart Battery Sense, BMV Smart Battery Monitor and SmartShunt for additional battery voltage, temperature and current data.
Optional local display: Accepts the SmartSolar pluggable display for local configuration and system monitoring.
Electronic protection: Includes protection against PV reverse polarity, output short circuit and excessive operating temperature.
Fully discharged battery recovery: Can initiate charging from a deeply discharged battery and reconnect compatible lithium batteries with integrated disconnect functions.
MC4 solar connections: Uses parallel-connected MC4 inputs for convenient connection of multiple solar strings.

The VE.Can architecture makes this controller suited to larger off-grid, marine, mobile and energy storage installations where coordinated solar charging and centralised system monitoring are required.
