Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can Solar Charge Controller

The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can is a high-current MPPT solar charge controller rated for a 150V maximum PV input voltage and 100A charge current output. It is designed for professional off-grid and large battery charging installations where network monitoring, system integration and high charge capacity are required.

Key Features

• 150V maximum PV open-circuit voltage with 100A maximum charge current output.
• VE.Can port enables direct integration with Victron GX devices, Cerbo GX and the VictronConnect ecosystem for real-time monitoring and data logging.
• True MPPT algorithm continuously tracks the maximum power point, maintaining efficient energy harvest across varying irradiance and temperature conditions.
• TR (screw terminal) connection type for secure, high-current cable termination on both PV and battery sides.
• Compatible with a wide range of battery chemistries including lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium-ion where appropriate charge profiles are configured.
• Rotary switch for battery voltage selection, with additional fine-tuning available via VictronConnect software.
• Built-in protection against PV reverse polarity, battery reverse polarity, over-temperature and short circuit.

Product Overview

The 150/100-Tr VE.Can sits at the upper end of Victron's BlueSolar MPPT range. A 100A charge current means it can deliver up to 5.8kW of charge power into a 58V battery bank, or proportionally less at lower battery voltages. This makes it well suited to large 12V, 24V or 48V battery systems where multiple PV strings are combined before the controller. The 150V PV input ceiling allows for series-connected panel strings of reasonable length without requiring a high-voltage DC system.

The VE.Can interface is the key differentiator over the standard BlueSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr. It connects directly to the CAN-bus network used by Victron GX devices, allowing the charge controller to appear as a managed device within a larger system. This enables coordinated charging, state-of-charge awareness from a connected battery monitor, and full data visibility through the VRM portal. For installations with multiple MPPT controllers, VE.Can allows all units to be monitored from a single GX device without additional adaptors.

The TR designation refers to the screw terminal (Tr) connection format, which is appropriate for fixed installations using standard DC cable. The unit is housed in a metal enclosure and weighs 4.5kg, reflecting the thermal mass required to dissipate heat at sustained high charge currents.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Large off-grid systems with 24V or 48V battery banks requiring high charge current from multiple PV strings.
• Marine and motorhome installations where Victron GX-based system monitoring is already in use.
• Commercial off-grid cabins, telecoms shelters and remote power systems with data logging requirements.
• Multi-controller installations where VE.Can networking allows centralised monitoring of all charge sources.
• Battery charging systems integrated with Victron Quattro or MultiPlus inverter-chargers via a shared GX device.

What Is Included

• Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/100-Tr VE.Can charge controller (1 unit)

Installation Notes

Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited solar installer. The PV input voltage must not exceed 150V under any conditions, including cold-temperature open-circuit voltage. Ensure PV string Voc calculations account for minimum site temperatures. The VE.Can bus requires correct termination resistors at each end of the network; Victron supplies RJ45 terminators for this purpose. Battery chemistry and voltage must be correctly configured before commissioning. For off-grid systems connected to a generator or grid supply via an inverter-charger, coordinate charge settings across all devices to avoid conflicting charge sources.
