BlueSolar PWM-Light 12/24V-5A

Victron Bluesolar light PWM solar controller:

Victron’s range of PWM and MPPT charge controllers are both widely used to charge batteries with solar power.

The PWM controller is in essence a switch that connects a solar array to the battery. The result is that the voltage of the array will be pulled down to near that of the battery.

A PWM controller is not a DC to DC transformer. The PWM controller is a switch which connects the solar panel to the battery. When the switch is closed, the panel and the battery will be at nearly the same voltage. Assuming a discharged battery the initial charge voltage will be around 13 V, and assuming a voltage loss of 0,5 V over the cabling plus controller, the panel will be at Vpwm = 13,5 V.

The voltage will slowly increase with increasing state of charge of the battery. When absorption voltage is reached the PWM controller will start to disconnect and reconnect the panel to prevent overcharge (hence the name: Pulse Width Modulated controller).

Features:

– Load output with low battery voltage disconnect function.

– Lighting control function, one timer only.

– Two digit seven segment display for quick and easy setting of the load output functionality, including timer setting.

– Three stage battery charging (bulk, absorption, float), not programmable.

– Load output protected against over load and short circuit.

– Protected against reverse polarity connection of the solar array and/or battery.

Day/night timing options:

35 Amp Charge Controller. With so many Victron Energy MPPT charge controllers to pick from, it’s difficult to choose the first one for our website! Over the years, we’ve found the 30 amp MPPT controller to be the sweet spot for so many smaller to moderate applications (i.e. boats, RVs, small cabins, industrial remote power units). Victron’s 150/35 fits that bill! Combined with a max input Voc of 150VDC, this is a versatile unit with a lot of range.

Ultra-Fast MPPT. Victron engineers its MPPT technology to be really fast. This improves the amount of solar energy their MPPT controllers can harvest. And that makes a big difference on cloudy days. Up to 30% more harvest than a PWM controller and 10% better than slower MPPT controllers.

Efficient. This BlueSolar controller doesn’t need a fan to keep cool. It can achieve over 98% efficiency without one at full production up to 104 degrees F.

Adjustable. Charging algorithm, absorption and float charging voltages and more can be programmed using Victron Energy’s VE.Direct port. You’ll just attach their Bluetooth Dongle and access via their smartphone app, or their USB Interface cable (each sold separately) to your laptop.

Multifunctional, with intelligent power management
The MultiPlus is a powerful true sine wave inverter, a sophisticated battery charger that features adaptive charge
technology, and a high-speed AC transfer switch in a single compact enclosure. Next to these primary functions, the
MultiPlus has several advanced features, as outlined below.
Two AC Outputs
The main output has no-break functionality. The MultiPlus takes over the supply to the connected loads in the event of
a grid failure or when shore-/generator power is disconnected. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that
computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.
The second output is live only when AC is available on the input of the MultiPlus. Loads that should not discharge the
battery, like a water heater for example, can be connected to this output (second output available on models rated at
3kVA and more).
Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation
Up to six Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Six 24/3000/70 units, for example, provide
15kW / 18kVA output power with 420 Amps of charging capacity.
Three phase capability
In addition to parallel connection, three units can be configured for three-phase output. But that’s not all: with three
strings of six parallel units a 45 kW / 54 kVA three phase inverter and 1260 A charger can be built.
Split phase options
Two units can be stacked to provide 120-0-120 V, and additional units can be paralleled up to a total of 6 units per
phase, to supply up to 30 kW / 36 kVA of split phase power.
Alternatively, a split phase AC source can be obtained by connecting our autotransformer (see data sheet on
www.victronenergy.com) to a ‘European’ inverter programmed to supply 240 V / 60 Hz.
PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator, shore side or grid power
The MultiPlus is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the generator or shore side
supply (nearly 20 A per 3 kVA MultiPlus at 120 VAC). With the Multi Control Panel a maximum generator or shore
current can be set. The MultiPlus will then take account of other AC loads and use whatever is extra for charging, thus
preventing the generator or shore supply from being overloaded.
PowerAssist – Boosting the capacity of shore or generator power
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension. It allows the MultiPlus to supplement the
capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required only for a limited period, the MultiPlus will
make sure that insufficient shore or generator power is immediately compensated for by power from the battery. When
the load reduces, the spare power is used to recharge the battery.
Four stage adaptive charger and dual bank battery charging
The main output provides a powerful charge to the battery system by means of advanced ‘adaptive charge’ software.
The software fine-tunes the three stage automatic process to suit the condition of the battery, and adds a fourth stage
for long periods of float charging. The adaptive charge process is described in more detail on the Phoenix Charger
datasheet and on our website, under Technical Information. In addition to this, the MultiPlus will charge a second
battery using an independent trickle charge output intended for a main engine or generator starter battery.
System configuring has never been easier
After installation, the MultiPlus is ready to go.
If settings have to be changed, this can be done in a matter of minutes with a DIP switch setting procedure. Even
parallel and 3-phase operation can be programmed with DIP switches: no computer needed!
Alternatively, VE.Net can be used instead of the DIP switches.
And sophisticated software (VE.Bus Quick Configure and VE.Bus System Configurator) is available to configure several
new, advanced, features

Victron Energy 70A MPPT Solar Charge Controller

A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximizes this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.

By constantly monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar (PV) panels, MPPT technology ensures that every drop of available power is rinsed out of your panels, and harvested for storage. The advantage of this is most noticeable when the sky is partially clouded, and light intensity is constantly changing.

Remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your SmartSolar MPPT charger with built-in Bluetooth by pairing it with your smartphone or other device via VictronConnect. If your installation is connected to the internet Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both services are free to use. For remote installations – even when there is no internet connection or phone signal nearby – you may be able to monitor your MPPT by Bluetooth-pairing with a LoRaWAN (long-range wide area network) device, available optionally.

By adding the SmartSolar Control Display you will be able to check the status of your Charger and battery-storage at a glance. Simply plug it into the face of your MPPT charger to provide you with real-time monitoring and set-up capabilities.

The smart solar 100/30 is designed to accept solar panel (PV) input up to 440W at 12V or 880W at 24V and has a rated charge current of 30A.

However, you should note both the open circuit voltage (Voc) and the short circuit current (Isc) of your combined solar panels and ensure this does not exceed the maximum input of the MPPT charge controller. For the 100/30 the maximum PV open circuit voltage (Voc) is 100V and the maximum PV short circuit current (Isc) is 35A.

Auto-selects 12/24V on the output. The charge controller once connected will automatically recognise your battery bank voltage.220W
