Victron EnergyBlueSolar MPPT 75V 15 amp 12/24-Volt Solar Charge Controller

Purchased to replace a cheap PWM controller which was not delivering enough power from two x 100W solar panels to keep the 12V fridge working on sunny days. The Victron Energy controller is a much more efficient MPPT type, delivering more power from the solar panels, and its worth spending the extra. It also keeps your leisure battery healthy without over charging like many cheap PWM controllers too. Definitely recommended.

Basically useless without the Bluetooth dongle, but absolutely great with it.I originally planned on just using this with the jumper link, but for some reason it thought my 12v battery was 24v and started to overcharge. I then bought the Bluetooth dongle and input the settings manually and it has been fantastic since, but i think it should be made clearer how important it is to also have the Bluetooth dongle.

I upgraded from a PWM charge controller and to my surprise, the battery voltage started dropping. It turns out, my single 120W panel on a cloudy winter day doesn't rise to the 17V necessary to power on the Victron MPPT charging circuit most days. So, in the dead of winter I was actually getting better performance from the PWM because at least it was putting in some power every day even if it was only a trickle.YMMV, but having ordered the BlueSolar I actually received the SmartSolar with an incorrect stock label on it. I appreciate the Bluetooth monitoring function that the SmartSolar has (and which the BlueSolar does not)

Took minutes to install and setup, I have a 48v / 275w solar panel and a bank of 12v / 110amp hour batteries in parallel and this 75/15 copes well. It is so easy to control my system lights my back garden with the street light function every night I would recommend it to anyone .

The Victron solar charge controller is brilliant. Seems to put more charge into the battery. Worth paying the extra cost for Victron, and not a bad price for the 15 controller, which will cope with around 400 watts of solar panel.I will definitely purchase more victron products.Seller sent item very quickly and arrived in perfect condition.

Worked well for what it is, but if you're after the Bluetooth enabled one, it is the smartsolar not this one (unless you buy additional modules and connect to the rx port)Likewise, if you want to customise the battery/ load output other hardware is required

I like that it sorted my solar panels and charged my batteries better.one problem I’ve got to get a internet dongle I thought it was already in the victron charger.
