Victron Energy – SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 to 250/100 Tr/VE.Can Solar Charger Controllers

The Victron SmartSolar MPPT Tr/VE.Can Series is designed for medium to large off-grid and hybrid solar power systems requiring high reliability, maximum energy yield, and intelligent battery protection. Featuring advanced ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology and up to 98% conversion efficiency, these controllers ensure that every ray of sunlight is harvested—even in cloudy or variable weather, common in many parts of Tanzania.

With high PV input voltage (up to 250V for selected models), wide battery compatibility (12V/24V/48V systems), and fully programmable settings, the SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can series suits residential homes, lodges, hotels, farms, telecom sites, and commercial installations across the region.

Features & Benefits

• Ultra-Fast MPPT for Maximum Solar Harvest: The controller continuously scans the solar output to capture the highest possible power point—especially useful during Tanzania’s variable daylight conditions, such as coastal humidity, cloud transitions, and partial shading.
• High Efficiency with Natural Cooling: With up to 98% efficiency, the system reduces wasted power. The passive cooling design ensures stable operation even in hot climates like Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, or Arusha.
• Smart Multi-Device Sync via VE.Can: Multiple controllers can be linked for large solar arrays, allowing synchronized charging of big battery banks—ideal for commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and mini-grid systems.
• Advanced Battery Care Algorithms: Adaptive charge control reduces sulphation, prevents overcharging, and extends battery lifespan—especially beneficial in remote or rural installations using lead-acid or lithium batteries.
• Full Remote Monitoring & Control: Using the VictronConnect App or a GX device (Cerbo GX), users can access real-time performance graphs, historical data, and system alerts—even from remote regions.
• Rugged & Weather-Resistant Design: Built to withstand dust, heat, and harsh environments, making it suitable for Tanzania’s coastal corrosion conditions and high inland temperatures.

Use Cases

• For Homes & Small Businesses: Powering essential appliances (lights, TVs, fridges). Reliable charging for home battery banks. Supports energy independence in grid-unstable regions
• For Medium to Large Enterprises: Ideal for hotels, lodges, schools, clinics, and offices. Works with large PV arrays for reduced energy costs. Ensures uninterrupted power for mission-critical systems
• For Off-Grid & Rural Projects: Solar mini-grids in villages. Agricultural power for irrigation, cold storage, and processing. Telecom towers and remote monitoring stations
• For Industrial Systems: Warehousing, manufacturing, and mining operations. Large 48V battery banks. Synchronization for multi-controller solar fields

Value Propositions

• Reliable Power in Areas with Unstable Grid Supply: Consistent charging performance ensures dependable energy availability, reducing reliance on diesel generators.
• Long-Term Savings & Lower Operating Costs: High efficiency and battery-friendly algorithms reduce wear and deliver long-term ROI for both small and large installations.
• Future-Proof, Scalable Design: VE.Can allows expansion of the system without replacing existing components—ideal for businesses planning gradual growth.
• Built for Harsh African Conditions: Dust-proof, high-temperature tolerant, and resilient—perfect for Tanzania’s coastal, semi-arid, and mountainous environments.
• Trusted Global Brand with Strong Local Presence: Victron is widely used across East Africa for solar homes, telecom projects, and industrial systems, ensuring easy servicing and readily available support.
