MPPT Regulator

An MPPT regulator from the SmartSolar range, manufactured by Dutch company Victron Energy - one of the market leaders in solar power electronics equipment. This 15A MPPT charge controller is capable of providing significantly more power to a battery bank from the solar array, compared to conventional PWM charge controllers, in addition to maximising the battery lifespan.

The MPPT regulator is effectively a dynamic DC-DC converter which constantly adjusts and optimises the voltage output from the solar array, which can vary considerably, in order to provide a constant charging voltage for the batteries - which improves their lifespan and equates to lower power losses in the system.

For unbeatable performance and real-time monitoring, it has a built-in bluetooth wireless dongle.

Connections

To connect this kit to your 12V system you will need suitable cables. We provide 2x 3m cables with MC4 Evo-Ready connectors on to enable you to connect the panel to the regulator. We also provide a suitable 2x 2m 6mm general purpose cable (1x red and 1x black) alongside all the required fuses and connectors.

If the cables are not long enough let us know and we will make something up to suit your needs.
