xVictron BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr Solar Charge Controller
The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr is a solar charge controller designed for off-grid and battery-based solar systems. It accepts a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 150V and delivers up to 60A of charge current, making it suited to medium and large battery banks where efficient solar harvest matters. It is aimed at professional installers, system integrators and off-grid operators who need a reliable, field-proven MPPT controller.
Key Features
- Maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 150V, allowing series-connected panel strings without a separate combiner in many configurations.
- 60A maximum charge current, compatible with 12V, 24V and 48V battery systems.
- True MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm continuously adjusts to extract maximum available power from the array.
- TR (screw terminal) connection type for secure, industry-standard wiring on both PV and battery sides.
- Bluetooth connectivity via optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle, enabling monitoring through the Victron Connect app.
- VE.Direct port for direct communication with compatible Victron devices including the Color Control GX and other GX products.
- Supports lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, gel, flooded and other battery chemistries with configurable charge algorithms.
- Built-in load output for direct connection of DC loads, with programmable load control options.
Product Overview
The BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr sits in Victron's established BlueSolar range, which lacks the integrated Bluetooth of the SmartSolar series but is otherwise functionally equivalent in terms of charging performance. Bluetooth monitoring can be added via the optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. The 150V maximum PV input voltage gives installers flexibility when designing string configurations, particularly with 60-cell and 72-cell panels in series. At 48V battery voltage, the controller can handle a PV array of up to approximately 2880W, making it practical for systems with substantial storage capacity.
The MPPT algorithm responds quickly to changing irradiance conditions, which is particularly relevant in the UK where cloud edge effects can cause rapid fluctuations in available power. The controller supports a wide range of battery chemistries and charge profiles can be customised using the VictronConnect app or a compatible MPPT Control display accessory. The VE.Direct port allows integration into a Victron GX-based monitoring and control system, giving installers full visibility of charge state, yield history and system health.
The TR designation refers to the screw terminal (Tr) connection format, as opposed to the MC4 or other connector variants. This is the standard choice for panel installations where wiring is terminated in a combiner box or junction enclosure. The unit weighs 3.88kg and is housed in a metal enclosure suitable for wall or panel mounting in a protected indoor or weatherproof enclosure.

Applications
- Off-grid residential solar systems with 12V, 24V or 48V battery banks.
- Marine and narrowboat installations requiring a high-current MPPT controller with a 150V PV input.
- Remote telecoms, monitoring stations and rural infrastructure with battery-backed solar power.
- Agricultural and rural off-grid buildings where grid connection is not available or practical.
- Larger motorhome and vehicle-based systems with roof-mounted panel arrays.
- Victron GX-integrated systems where VE.Direct communication is required for centralised monitoring.
What Is Included
- Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr charge controller
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 at low temperatures when open-circuit voltage rises. Ensure the battery voltage is correctly identified before connecting. For systems integrated into a Victron GX monitoring setup, a VE.Direct cable is required (sold separately). Bluetooth monitoring requires the optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. This controller is not suitable for grid-tied applications and does not hold G98 or G99 approval.
