Build Your Perfect Off-Grid Rig With Our System Calculator
Visit CalculatorThe Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 250/70-Tr is a high-performance solar charge controller designed to maximize energy harvest from large photovoltaic arrays while efficiently charging 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V battery banks. Featuring Victron's ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, integrated Bluetooth connectivity, and compatibility with Victron's extensive monitoring ecosystem, the 250/70-Tr is ideal for off-grid, backup power, marine, RV, and commercial solar applications. Its advanced charging algorithms improve battery health and longevity while delivering exceptional conversion efficiency, even during rapidly changing weather conditions
Ultra-Fast MPPT Technology - Tracks the optimum power point of the solar array with exceptional speed, improving energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM controllers and significantly outperforming slower MPPT controllers during variable weather conditions.
Integrated Bluetooth Smart - Built-in Bluetooth allows wireless monitoring, configuration, firmware updates, and historical performance tracking directly through the free VictronConnect app.
Supports High PV Voltage Arrays - Accepts up to 250V DC PV open-circuit voltage, enabling longer series strings and reducing wiring costs on larger solar installations.
Advanced Battery Charging - Fully programmable multi-stage charging profiles support lead-acid, AGM, Gel, lithium, and custom battery configurations for optimal charging performance.
Remote Monitoring with VRM - Compatible with Victron GX devices and the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal for advanced remote monitoring and system management.
Intelligent Thermal Management - Automatically adjusts output power under high-temperature conditions to protect internal components while maintaining system reliability.
Programmable Relay - Integrated relay output can be configured for alarms, generator start/stop functions, battery monitoring, and other automation tasks.
VE.Direct Communication Port - Provides seamless integration with Victron GX devices, monitoring systems, displays, and other ecosystem components.

I was a DIY solar power wannabe... that is 'til I connected with Manny... The man's a prince! He not only knows his stuff; he walked me through all things electrical. To make sure I had all I needed... he gave me his cell phone # to text him anytime I got confused... nights and weekends included. The prices were very competitive... definitely go with Manny -- you won't go wrong!

I am always hesitant to buy things at places I have never shopped... I want to give a shout out to Manny who with great patience and knowledge helped me get my orders... I felt valued as a customer and I will definitely be back in the future. I highly recommend them, they make you feel like family.

I'm about to go off grid. I called Manny, he walked me through everything so I could truly understand what I needed and never tried to upsell me. He was honest and made a customer for life.
Ray B.
I would personally like to thank Manny... I purchased the inverter and decided I needed to return it... Manny was very understanding and went out of his way to help me return the product and not even have to pay for shipping return. He gives this company reputation, honor and quality customer service!
Roger V.
I have been talking with Manny the owner... He has not only helped me design a system but he's been assisting with the install and components. I am super pleased so far with the assistance.
