The Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-MC4 is a solar charge controller built for off-grid and battery-based solar systems. It takes a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 150V and delivers up to 60A of charge current, with integrated MC4 connectors for direct panel connection.

Key features

• PV input, 150V maximum open-circuit voltage, supporting series-connected panel strings.
• Charge current, 60A maximum, compatible with 12V, 24V and 48V battery banks (auto-select).
• MC4 connectors, integrated, so panel cables connect directly without extra adaptors.
• MPPT tracking, Victron's algorithm tracks changing irradiance to keep power harvest high.
• Battery chemistries, flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel and lithium (LiFePO4) with programmable charge profiles.
• Bluetooth and VE.Direct, configure and monitor through the VictronConnect app, or connect a GX device for VRM monitoring.

Product overview

MPPT tracking converts excess panel voltage into extra charge current, which matters most when panel voltage sits well above battery voltage. The 150V input allows strings of two or three panels depending on their Voc, cutting cable runs and losses. Built-in MC4 connectors remove the need for a separate combiner, so there are fewer connection points on site.

The unit carries an IP43 enclosure, suited to indoor or sheltered outdoor mounting. A load output is included, with low-voltage disconnect protection for connected DC loads. Protection covers reverse polarity, over-temperature, over-current and short-circuit.

Applications

• Off-grid residential systems on 12V, 24V or 48V battery banks.
• Marine and narrowboat installs needing direct MC4 panel wiring.
• Mobile and vehicle-based solar setups where wiring space is tight.
• Remote telecoms, monitoring stations and rural power supplies.
• Hybrid systems paired with a Victron GX device for VRM monitoring.

Installation notes

Fit this by a qualified electrician or accredited solar installer. String design needs care so Voc stays under 150V even in cold weather, and battery cabling should be fused and sized to the 60A output. The VE.Direct port allows integration with a Victron GX device for full system oversight.
