150/70 Setup & Wiring
Connect the array to the screw terminals (PV input up to 150V open-circuit) and battery to the output terminals, observing polarity and recommended fuse/breaker sizing for 70A output. Auto-detect system voltage or set it via configuration. The Tr (screw-terminal) model favors straightforward, serviceable wiring.
Max Solar Panel Wattage
At 70A output: roughly 1,000W on 12V, 2,000W on 24V, 3,000W on 36V, and 4,000W on 48V, within the 150V max PV open-circuit voltage.
Bluetooth via Dongle
The BlueSolar Tr model has no built-in Bluetooth. Add the Victron Bluetooth dongle (sold separately) to enable VictronConnect monitoring, settings, and firmware updates from your smartphone. If you prefer built-in Bluetooth, choose the SmartSolar range.
