Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr: High-Voltage Solar Charge Controller for Maximum Yield
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr is a powerful, professional-grade solar charge controller engineered to revolutionize your energy storage system. This intelligent device efficiently gathers energy from your solar panels (PV array) and stores it in your batteries. Utilizing the latest, ultra-fast MPPT technology, the SmartSolar maximizes the energy harvest, intelligently driving power to achieve a full charge in the shortest possible time, thus maintaining battery health and significantly extending battery life.
Core Performance and MPPT Technology
- Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT): The controller constantly monitors the voltage and current output of your PV panels, guaranteeing that every available drop of solar power is harvested for storage. This advantage is most noticeable during suboptimal conditions, such as partially clouded skies or changing light intensity, where it secures superior solar efficiency.
- Deep Battery Recovery: The SmartSolar charge controller is designed to even recharge severely depleted batteries. It can initiate operation with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the battery cells are not permanently sulphated or damaged, offering exceptional battery recovery capability.
Remote Monitoring, Control, and Connectivity
Achieve total control over your off-grid or marine solar system with built-in and optional connectivity features:
- Built-in Bluetooth & VictronConnect: Remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger wirelessly via Bluetooth by pairing it with your smartphone or tablet using the free VictronConnect App.
- Global Remote Management (VRM): When your installation is connected to the internet via a Victron GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX), the free Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides remote access to the full data and control capabilities of your MPPT controller, anytime, anywhere.
- Remote Location Monitoring: For truly remote installations where no internet or phone signal is available, connect the optional GlobalLink 520 to monitor your MPPT performance via a dedicated network.
Protection, Setup, and Scalability
- Optional SmartSolar Control Display: Easily add the dedicated SmartSolar Control Display to the face of your MPPT charger for real-time monitoring of your charging status and battery storage at a glance, simplifying on-site setup.
- Extensive Electronic Protection: The unit features comprehensive electronic safeguards, including over-temperature protection (with automatic power derating), PV short circuit protection, PV reverse polarity protection, and PV reverse current protection, ensuring reliable, long-term durability.
- Sizing Support: Ensure optimal system design by utilizing the available MPPT sizing calculator to determine the correct charge controller size for your specific solar array and battery voltage.
So what sets this Victron charge controller apart is the built-in Bluetooth Smart functionality. This allows seamless monitoring and configuration using the VictronConnect app, giving you instant access to real-time performance data, historical statistics, and advanced settings — all from your smartphone or tablet. You can also easily pair this unit with other Victron Energy components to build a smart, scalable energy system.
To ensure you get the most out of your solar installation, we strongly recommend using the Victron MPPT Calculator. This free online tool helps you size your solar array correctly based on your MPPT charge controller, battery bank, and environmental conditions. It’s perfect for both DIY solar enthusiasts and professional installers aiming for maximum system efficiency.
Whether you’re upgrading your existing setup or starting a new energy storage project, the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-Tr delivers intelligent solar charging backed by Victron’s trusted reputation for quality and performance.
