What Makes the Victron Smart Solar MPPT Stand Out?
The Victron Smart Solar MPPT 150/100 utilises ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking technology, optimising the energy harvested from your solar panels for efficient and reliable battery charging.
It excels at recovering deeply discharged batteries, operating even with battery voltages as low as zero volts — so long as the battery cells are in good condition.
The controller supports a variety of battery chemistries, including lead-acid and lithium options, through programmable charge algorithms. This flexibility helps extend battery life by tailoring charge profiles to exact battery needs.
Integration savvy users benefit from the VE.Can connectivity system. This enables multiple controllers to be linked in a daisy-chain, synchronising charge stages and simplifying system management through GX monitoring devices.
Bluetooth control via the VictronConnect app offers effortless setup, real-time monitoring, along with access to historic charging data — right from your smartphone or tablet.

- Battery systems with voltages outside 12, 24, 36 (manual), or 48V without supported manual control
- Outdoors installations needing higher IP rated enclosure protections
Installation & Build Quality
The device’s sturdy design features a powder-coated blue RAL 5012 finish, engineered for indoor environments such as caravans and RV compartments.
With an IP43 rating for internal electronics and IP22 for connection zones, it protects key components from dust and moisture typical in caravan or camping contexts.
Connections are made simple and secure using heavy gauge 35 mm² terminals and MC4 connectors designed for reliable long-term solar array and battery integration.
It operates effectively across a broad temperature range (-30°C to +60°C), handling variations you might encounter on the road or at the campsite.
Remote Monitoring & Control
Victron’s SmartSolar charge controller is built for modern connected lifestyles, offering Bluetooth control via the VictronConnect app for convenient, wireless setup and monitoring.
VE.Can communication ports allow several controllers to be linked through simple daisy-chain cabling, synchronising performance and providing unified data feed to GX monitoring hubs.
If internet access is available, the Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) empowers you to oversee your solar system from virtually anywhere, ideal for long-term off-grid or remote setups.
Additionally, the optional GlobalLink 520 device enhances on-site monitoring when internet is impractical.
