Overview
The MPPT VE.Can SmartSolar charger uses the latest and fastest technology to convert energy from a solar array into energy that optimally charges a battery banks.
The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulphated or otherwise damaged.
Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30 % compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10 % compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions
If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points (MPP) may be present on the powervoltage curve. Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP. The innovative SmartSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.
Outstanding conversion efficiency
No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98 %.
Flexible charge algorithm
Fully programmable charge algorithm, and eight pre-programmed algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch (see manual for details).
Extensive electronic protection
Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high. PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection. PV reverse current protection.
Bluetooth Smart built-in
The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
Internal temperature sensor and optional external battery voltage, temperature and current sensing via Bluetooth
A Smart Battery Sense, a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor or a SmartShunt can be used to communicate battery voltage and temperature (and current, in case of a BMV-712 or a SmartShunt) to one or more SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
VE.Direct or VE.Can
For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices
Fully discharged battery recovery function
Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with integrated disconnect function.
VE.Can: the multiple controller solution
Up to 25 units can be synchronised with VE.Can, and up to 10 units with Bluetooth
Remote on-off
To connect for example to a VE.BUS BMS.
Programmable relay
Can be programmed to trip on an alarm, or other events.
Optional: SmartSolar pluggable LCD display
Simply remove the rubber seal that protects the plug on the front of the controller, and plug-in the display

Reading the specifications
Detailed specifications for Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can have not been published yet. Victron Energy lists this charge controller in the Charge Controllers, and we add fields as the manufacturer releases them — in the meantime, ask your distributor for the datasheet before ordering.
For a charge controller, the figures that matter most are type: MPPT or PWM, rated charge current in amps, which must exceed the array's short-circuit current with margin, maximum PV open-circuit voltage, the hard limit that must survive cold-morning Voc rise and supported battery voltages (12/24/36/48 V) and chemistries. In any system with a battery and a separate array, the controller is what protects the most expensive component and determines how much of the array's output actually reaches storage.
Choosing a charge controller: the checks that matter
The checks below apply to any charge controller. Run them against the specification table above — most disappointing solar purchases are compatible-on-paper units that fail one of these in practice.
- Check the maximum PV input voltage against the array's Voc at your coldest expected temperature, not at 25 °C — Voc rises as temperature falls, and exceeding the limit destroys the controller instantly.
- Confirm the controller supports your battery chemistry with the right charge profile. Lithium, AGM, gel and flooded batteries need different absorption and float voltages.
- Prefer a unit with temperature compensation or a battery temperature sensor if the bank lives somewhere that gets hot or cold.
- Choose MPPT over PWM for anything beyond a very small array. An MPPT controller harvests roughly 20–30% more energy because it converts excess panel voltage into charge current instead of throwing it away.
Where buyers lose money
- Sizing on rated array watts alone and ignoring the voltage ceiling, which is the most common way controllers are killed.
- Using a PWM controller with a high-voltage grid-tie panel — the voltage mismatch wastes a large share of the panel's output.
- Running the load output beyond its rating instead of wiring heavy loads directly to the battery through a fuse.
Price and availability in Canada
Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can is listed at $ 936 (USD) for Canada. Solar pricing moves with supply, import duties and exchange rates, and distributors set their own margins, so treat this as a comparison reference and confirm the current figure before you order.
SolarBazaar compares equipment rather than selling it. Shortlist here on specification and price, then buy from an authorised distributor or installer in Canada: warranty cover on solar hardware is normally honoured through the channel you bought from, so confirm who supports Victron Energy locally before ordering.
Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can — frequently asked questions
How much does Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can cost?
Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can is listed at $ 936 (USD) for Canada. The figure is indicative — solar prices move with supply, duties and exchange rates, and each distributor sets its own margin — so confirm the current price with a supplier before ordering.
Who makes Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can?
Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can is a Victron Energy product, listed under charge controllers with model reference SCC010100310. The Victron Energy brand page lists the rest of its range so you can compare across the catalogue.
Is Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can right for my system?
That depends on what it has to connect to. For a charge controller, check maximum PV open-circuit voltage, the hard limit that must survive cold-morning Voc rise, supported battery voltages (12/24/36/48 V) and chemistries and conversion efficiency, typically 96–99% for a good MPPT unit against the rest of your equipment before price enters the decision. Check the maximum PV input voltage against the array's Voc at your coldest expected temperature, not at 25 °C — Voc rises as temperature falls, and exceeding the limit destroys the controller instantly.
Where can I buy Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can in Canada?
SolarBazaar lists and compares equipment rather than selling it. Use the specifications and price here to shortlist, then buy through an authorised distributor or installer in Canada — buying in-channel is what keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid.
