16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eThe 250\/100-Tr VE.Can accepts a maximum PV \u003cstrong\u003eopen-circuit voltage (Voc) of 250V\u003c\/strong\u003e — this is the hard limit and must not be exceeded under any conditions, including coldest ambient temperatures (when Voc is at its highest). The maximum PV short-circuit current (Isc) is \u003cstrong\u003e70A\u003c\/strong\u003e. Nominal array size depends on battery voltage: \u003cstrong\u003e12V bank → 1,450W; 24V → 2,900W; 48V → 5,800W\u003c\/strong\u003e. You can connect a larger array than these figures — the controller will simply clamp its input power — but the Voc and Isc limits remain absolute hard limits that must never be exceeded. For array sizing, calculate the maximum cold-weather Voc of all series panels (Voc at −10°C if your location reaches that), and ensure it stays below 245V operating maximum. A PV design tool or Victron's online MPPT calculator will confirm compliance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#fff;\"\u003eWhat GX device do I need for VRM monitoring and VE.Can networking?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eAny Victron GX device with a VE.Can port will work: the \u003cstrong\u003eCerbo GX\u003c\/strong\u003e (most popular for new installations, includes Touch 50 display option), the \u003cstrong\u003eVenus GX\u003c\/strong\u003e, or the \u003cstrong\u003eColor Control GX\u003c\/strong\u003e. The GX device connects to one unit in the daisy-chain via a single RJ45 cable — all 25 linked units report through this single connection. The GX device requires an internet connection (Ethernet or LTE with a GX LTE modem) to push data to the \u003cstrong\u003eVictron VRM portal\u003c\/strong\u003e (free, no subscription). Without internet, the GX device still provides local monitoring via its display or the local VRM network interface. Bluetooth-only setups (no GX device) support up to 10 synchronised units and local monitoring via VictronConnect only — no cloud access.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#f0faf9;\"\u003eIs this compatible with lithium (LiFePO₄) batteries?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eYes — the SmartSolar 250\/100 fully supports \u003cstrong\u003elithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) and other lithium chemistries\u003c\/strong\u003e. The charge voltages are fully programmable to match the lithium battery manufacturer's specifications (typically 14.2V absorption \/ 13.5V float on 12V LiFePO₄). The \u003cstrong\u003eremote on\/off connector\u003c\/strong\u003e integrates with lithium BMS units — the BMS can cut the charge input signal when the pack is full or at temperature limits without requiring an external charge relay. The dead battery recovery feature reconnects to a lithium pack after BMS disconnect. For Victron batteries (Smart Lithium), direct VE.Bus or Bluetooth communication allows automatic charge parameter handshaking.

All units will synchronise charge stages together and report to the same GX device. Each unit is monitored individually on the GX display and VRM — you can see the voltage, current, and PV power of each controller separately. The total charge current delivered to the battery is the sum of all controllers' outputs. Note that VE.Can and VE.Direct SmartSolars cannot be mixed in the same synchronised network — VE.Direct units can be monitored by the same GX device via separate VE.Direct cables, but they do not participate in the VE.Can synchronisation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#f0faf9;\"\u003eDoes the optional display come in the box, and what does it show?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eoptional SmartSolar pluggable LCD display is not included\u003c\/strong\u003e and must be purchased separately. It plugs into the port on the face of the controller (beneath a removable rubber cap) without tools. The display shows: battery voltage, charge current, PV voltage, PV power, charge state (bulk\/absorption\/float), daily yield, and any active error or warning codes. It also allows adjustment of the rotary switch programme selection and basic settings without a phone. For installations in a plant room or outbuilding where a phone may not always be convenient for quick status checks, the display is a useful addition. If the system has a Cerbo GX with Touch 50, the same information is available on the GX touchscreen and VRM — making the plug-in display redundant in fully GX-managed systems.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#fff;\"\u003eWhat is the difference between this and the non-VE.Can SmartSolar 250\/100?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eThe standard SmartSolar MPPT 250\/100 (without VE.Can) connects to a GX device via a \u003cstrong\u003eVE.Direct cable\u003c\/strong\u003e — a single-unit, point-to-point wired connection — and synchronises with other SmartSolar units via \u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth only (maximum 10 units)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003eVE.Can variant\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a CAN bus port allowing up to \u003cstrong\u003e25 units to be networked via RJ45 patch cables\u003c\/strong\u003e with fully synchronised charge stages and shared GX reporting. For single-controller or small two- or three-controller systems, the non-VE.Can model is simpler and slightly lower cost. For large systems requiring more than 10 synchronised controllers, or where robust wired networking to the GX device is preferred over Bluetooth, the VE.Can model is the correct choice. Both models otherwise share identical MPPT algorithms, charge capabilities, Bluetooth, and BatteryLife features.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62986901782877,"sku":"SCC125110412","price":490.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/2051\/3629\/files\/VIC-SCC125110412_VictronSmartSolarMPPT250-100-TRVE.CanSolarChargeController.webp?v=1776335401","url":"https:\/\/qualityheating.co.uk\/products\/victron-smartsolar-mppt-250-100-tr-ve-can-solar-charge-controller","provider":"AIZO Quality Heating","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
