Victron SmartSolar MPPT Solar Charge Controller | Network Ready (CAN)

Victron SmartSolar MPPT Solar Charge Controller | Network Ready (CAN)

Overview

The Victron SmartSolar MPPT Network Ready (CAN) models are solar charge controllers designed for Victron systems where devices share data and coordinate charging. This version includes built-in Bluetooth for setup and monitoring, plus a CAN network port (VE.Can) that supports multi-controller coordination in the same system.

Looking for the simpler version? Choose the Direct Cable (VE.Direct) model when you do not need a CAN network connection or multi-controller coordination.

Important Info

This listing is for the Network Ready (CAN) version. The Direct Cable (VE.Direct) version is a different product.

Key Features

Easy setup with Bluetooth

Built-in Bluetooth supports configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates using the Victron app.

Network Ready (CAN) for coordinated systems

The CAN network port (VE.Can) supports connecting and synchronizing multiple controllers in one system.

Optional plug-in display support

Compatible with the optional SmartSolar pluggable LCD display for local status and settings.

  • Multi-stage adaptive charge algorithm
  • Remote on/off input for system-level control
  • Programmable relay output for alarms or system events
  • Built-in protections (per manufacturer documentation)

Frequently Asked Questions (click to expand)

1. What does Network Ready (CAN) mean?

It means this controller includes a CAN network port (VE.Can) for connecting into a Victron network and coordinating multiple controllers in the same system.

2. How is this different from the Direct Cable (VE.Direct) version?

Direct Cable (VE.Direct) models use a simpler point-to-point wired connection. Network Ready (CAN) models are intended for systems that benefit from a CAN network connection and multi-controller coordination.

3. Which PV input class should I choose, 150V or 250V?

Choose the PV input class that safely covers your array open-circuit voltage under cold conditions. If you are unsure, confirm your array design limits before selecting a variant.

4. What do 70A, 85A, and 100A mean?

Those are the controller charge-current ratings. Choose the variant that matches your battery bank size and charging requirements.

5. Which battery voltages are supported?

12V, 24V, and 48V batteries are auto selected. 36V is available by manual setting.

6. Does it include Bluetooth?

Yes, Bluetooth is built in for configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates using the Victron app.

7. Can I use multiple controllers together?

Yes. These Network Ready (CAN) models are designed for coordinated multi-controller systems when connected on the CAN network.

8. Is a display included?

No display is included in this listing. An optional SmartSolar pluggable LCD display is supported (sold separately).

9. What does the programmable relay do?

The controller includes a programmable relay that can be configured for alarms or other system events, depending on your setup.
