Description
xVictron SmartSolar MPPT 150/60-MC4 Solar Charge Controller
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/60-MC4 is a solar charge controller designed for off-grid and battery-based solar installations. It accepts a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 150V and delivers up to 60A of charge current, with integrated MC4 connectors for direct panel connection. It is suited to professional installers working on residential, commercial and mobile off-grid systems.
Key Features
- Maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 150V, compatible with higher-voltage panel strings.
- 60A maximum charge current output for substantial battery bank charging capacity.
- Integrated MC4 connectors allow direct connection to solar panel cables without additional adaptors.
- Built-in Bluetooth via the VictronConnect app for wireless monitoring, configuration and firmware updates.
- Multi-stage adaptive charging algorithm supports lead-acid (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium battery chemistries.
- MPPT algorithm tracks the maximum power point continuously, maximising energy harvest across varying light conditions.
- Networked operation via VE.Direct and VE.Smart Networking, enabling synchronised charging across multiple units.
Product Overview
The SmartSolar MPPT 150/60-MC4 operates with a 150V maximum PV input voltage, which allows it to work with longer panel strings than lower-voltage controllers. This is particularly useful where panel strings need to be run at higher voltage to reduce cable losses over longer distances. The 60A output suits medium to large battery banks, covering a wide range of off-grid system sizes.
The integrated Bluetooth removes the need for a separate Bluetooth dongle. Using the VictronConnect app on iOS or Android, installers can configure charge parameters, monitor real-time data and update firmware without physical access to the unit. VE.Smart Networking allows the controller to receive battery temperature and voltage data from compatible Victron sensors or battery monitors, improving charge accuracy without additional wiring.
The MC4 connectors built into the unit simplify installation by accepting standard solar panel MC4 cables directly. This reduces the number of field-fitted connectors and associated failure points. The controller supports a broad range of battery voltages and chemistries, and charge profiles can be customised through the app for non-standard battery types.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited solar installer. The 150V maximum PV input voltage requires careful string design to ensure open-circuit voltage does not exceed this limit under cold-temperature conditions. Battery connections must be correctly fused and sized in accordance with the charge current rating. For systems connected to the grid or requiring MCS compliance, consult a qualified installer. Refer to Victron's published wiring guidelines for VE.Direct and VE.Smart Networking connections.
