xVictron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-MC4 Solar Charge Controller
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/60-MC4 is a solar charge controller designed for larger off-grid and hybrid solar installations. It accepts a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 250V and delivers up to 60A of charge current, with integrated MC4 connectors for direct panel string connection. Suitable for professional installers working on residential, commercial and off-grid systems.
Key Features
- Maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 250V, supporting larger series-connected panel strings.
- 60A maximum charge current, compatible with 12V, 24V and 48V battery banks.
- Integrated MC4 connectors on the PV input, eliminating the need for separate MC4 adapters at the controller.
- Built-in Bluetooth via VictronConnect for wireless monitoring, configuration and firmware updates from a smartphone or tablet.
- Advanced MPPT algorithm with rapid tracking, maintaining high harvest efficiency under variable irradiance and partial shading conditions.
- Compatible with lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, gel, flooded and other battery chemistries, with user-configurable charge profiles.
- Load output functionality for direct connection of DC loads, with programmable control options.
- VE.Direct port for integration with Victron GX devices, CCGX, Cerbo GX and compatible monitoring systems.
Product Overview
The 250/60 rating means this controller can handle PV arrays with an open-circuit voltage up to 250V and a maximum short-circuit current of 70A. At 48V battery voltage, the 60A output corresponds to a maximum PV array power of approximately 3,250W. At 24V the practical limit is around 1,600W, and at 12V around 800W. Sizing the array correctly for the target battery voltage is important to stay within these limits.
The MC4 variant differs from the standard 250/60 in that the PV input terminals are replaced with factory-fitted MC4 connectors. This simplifies installation where panel strings are terminated in MC4 and avoids the need for field-fitted MC4-to-cable adapters. The load output and VE.Direct port remain identical to the standard model.
VictronConnect Bluetooth is built in, so no additional dongle is required. The app covers charge profile configuration, battery voltage settings, load output behaviour, historical yield data and live monitoring. For system-level monitoring and integration with inverter-chargers or GX devices, the VE.Direct port connects directly to Victron's communication ecosystem.

Installation Notes
This controller operates at PV voltages up to 250V DC, which is hazardous and must be treated as such. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer familiar with DC solar systems. Ensure the PV array open-circuit voltage does not exceed 250V under any temperature conditions, including cold-weather Voc increases. Battery fusing and correct cable sizing are required on both the PV and battery connections. For systems integrated with grid-tied inverters or feeding into a managed energy system, verify compliance with G98 or G99 requirements as applicable.
