Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Solar Regulators
A pretty clever device that accepts voltages and amps thrown at it (within the limits stated in the part number!) and transforms any combination into food for the battery, without hardly any loss. I cannot detect the device heating up when operating. The controller can be mounted out of sight, because all parameters can be read from a mobile device connected via bluetooth. How much power we're getting now, what happened during the day, and yesterday, and days before. Most excellent user interface. The Victron is way much better designed than the Jaycar Powertech 15A MPPT controller I had mounted in another camper van. Which required mounting in sight due to having to read the built-in LCD screenlet, could only do 15A for the same price, was more specific regarding input voltage, and has a very limited and specific sort of user interface. I'm impressed with the Victron, as you can tell. Will be on the look-out for their products for the 4WD I'm converting into a bush camper now.Read full review

Had a quality PWM solar charger . Replaced with this one. Output has increased considerably and much better output on cloudy days. Not cheap but very good to get maximum efficiency out of cells when limited roof space to put on an extra solar panel. BT is great, BUT make sure your phone has a compatable operating system, otherwise BT bombs out on connection. Otherwise brilliant!

great product and gives you great information about whats been going on with your power and when and how much is being used just had to work out how to link it to my phone with the puck code on the side of the unit just needed more information on how to link that's all but very happy with it so far

I've installed this device on a pleasure boat. The only hardware improvements I could suggest is (a) conformal (epoxy) coating of the circuit board, which would make the device more bulletproof for marine applications, and (b) larger font size in the manual which is provided with the goods. The software performs better than expected; when running the application on the smartphone, if you press on the histogram corresponding to a 24hr charge period, it clearly shows how many hours & minutes were spent on each charge cycle and, as a result I now know that when my boat in unused for extended periods, a fully charged battery will receive only a few minutes on BOOST & BULK charging each day before progressing to FLOAT, which means that the SmartSolar output is obviously reducing to less than 2 Amps in much less time than the timeout values specified in the manual. This is important because a major reason for selecting this charger was to reduce overcharging damage whilst the boat is unused for extended periods. -RT.Read full review
