Solar Charge Controller | Victron | SmartSolar MPPT 150/70
Product Details
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 delivers 70A of charge current from a 150V PV array, making it one of the most capable non-VE.Can SmartSolar controllers. It supports 12V, 24V, and 48V battery systems, with maximum solar inputs of 1,000W at 12V, 2,000W at 24V, or 4,000W at 48V. The screw terminal PV connections suit permanent installation in switchboards or enclosures, while Bluetooth connectivity and a programmable relay make it adaptable for complex system automation. Parallel operation with up to 10 units is supported via Bluetooth synchronisation.

Compatible Battery Types
Works with AGM, Gel, Flooded (wet cell), LiFePO4, and lithium-ion batteries. Battery type and absorption/float voltages are configurable via the VictronConnect app.
Use Cases
For high-specification touring caravans with roof-mounted panels up to 2kW and a large LiFePO4 battery, the 150/70 provides enough headroom to fully utilise a day's solar harvest in Australian conditions.
Serious remote-area expedition vehicles demanding the fastest possible solar recharge between camps will benefit from the 70A output. Combine with a BMV-712 to track exact state-of-charge during multi-day remote travel.
On commercial vessels and larger pleasure craft with significant overnight energy consumption, the 150/70 makes the most of available deck space for solar panels to replenish house banks efficiently.
In medium off-grid installations, the 150/70 handles a 2–4kW panel array and integrates with Victron's GX family for full SCADA-style monitoring and automatic generator control via the VRM portal.
App Control & Connectivity
All SmartSolar MPPT controllers feature built-in Bluetooth for wireless monitoring and configuration via the free VictronConnect app (iOS and Android). Adjust charge settings, view real-time solar data, and receive alerts — all without needing a laptop or additional hardware. For advanced monitoring, connect to a Victron GX device (Cerbo GX, Venus GX) for full system integration and remote access via VRM.
