The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 250/70-Tr is the bigger sibling of the 250/60 — same 250V max PV input, but 70A of charge current instead of 60A. Sized for large 48V off-grid installations with residential panels in long series strings. Terminal-block ("Tr") connections for direct hard-wiring of heavy gauge cable. Built-in Bluetooth via VictronConnect.

Solar array sizing

Battery bank Maximum solar array Typical setup
12V ~1000W 3–4× 300W panels (rare config at 12V)
24V ~2000W 6× 350W residential panels
48V ~4000W 12× residential panels in 3 strings of 4

Maximum PV open-circuit voltage: 250V.

When to choose the 250/70 over the 250/60

  • 4kW vs 3.4kW at 48V — about 17% more solar headroom at the same input voltage
  • Future expansion — oversize the controller now and add panels later without replacing it
  • Hot climate derate — controllers derate output above 40°C; a larger controller running cooler is more reliable
  • Higher peak harvest — on perfect cold-clear days, more current capacity captures more energy

Why the SmartSolar 250/70-Tr

  • 70A charge current — high output for large battery banks
  • 250V max PV — long series strings of residential panels
  • Terminal-block connections — thick cable, combiner-box installs
  • Ultra-fast MPPT tracking — millisecond response to changing conditions
  • Built-in Bluetooth — VictronConnect app on iPhone or Android
  • 98% conversion efficiency — active fan cooling for sustained high output
  • VE.Direct port — Cerbo GX integration, VRM Portal remote monitoring
  • Automatic battery voltage detection — 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V
  • Optional remote temp sensor — sold separately
