BlueSolar MPPT Solar Charge Controller - Charge Controllers for Solar Panels - 100V, 50 amp, 12/24-Volt

This controller almost seems to pull energy from clouds. I tried two Tracer Series MPPT controllers (10A RN and 20A BN series). They are good, but compared to this controller they are slow catching up with the rapidly changing cloud conditions in the Pacific North West near the Canadian border. Quick rundown on likes: - It rapidly finds the mpp, and seems to build local profiles to swap back to in rapidly changing conditions (from direct sun to dark rain and in the middle). - In a side by side test, this controller reliably harvests at least +10% more energy from my Lensun 80W 12V panels than either of my Tracer controllers. - It has a built in battery charging profiles you can select by dial - including one for LiFePO4 batteries. - The documentaiton is clear and in English. - The firmware upgrades installed quickly and flawlessly. Additional things that put this controller way over the top for me: - Victron ToolKit app for the complete listing of blink codes to let you know what program the controller is running on. The information is in the manual, but the animated app gave me great peace of mind to know I wasn't about to do damage to my LFP battery bank. (The setting dial has no indication of what setting it's turned to, so blink codes are the only way to know for sure.) It was handy to have the cable calculator to confirm wire sizes, run lengths and voltage loss. - The BlueTooth dongle. Not required since the lights on the controller clearly tell you if you're in blulk, absorption, or float mode. However if you're a freak/geek like me and want to see settings in detail, have peace of mind about your battery bank while the controller is in action, and monitor performance? It's well worth the price of admission.

Excellent quality, typical of Victron. I'm fed up with trying to save money on cheaper solar gear (where it matters, like here) and only use Victron. The stuff just works. The app just works. You plug it in and it works. The instructions you receive are legible and correct and (shocking!) they actually pertain to the item you bought, not the one 3 versions ago that is totally different. This charge controller is excellent and dependable. It just works.

A little to soon to tell; but seems to do the job. It weighs a ton; one of my cheaper ones failed and I wound up with 19.6 volts in battery bank; not good. I'm planning o buy as many of these as I need inorder tht I will feel comfortable not getting an overcharge AND ! Made in Holland; finallysomething the Chinese apparently can't beat !

I guess you do get what you pay for with Victron devices. No issues other than thinner wallet... Found a couple cheaper brands that almost worked but caused issues. I do tend to see if I can find the "good enough" product. In this case I struck out for my particular setup.

I got this to keep the camper batteries charged. Two 200 watt panels and two twelve volt batteries. Keeps everything charged all summer and over the winter. Added the Bluetooth connector to monitor from my phone. Happy with the product and the install was easy.

Exelente profucto

I purchased this controller to charge a bank of marine batteries. I have $1,500 worth of batteries purchased new from Walmart. The system has been correctly wired as I'm a very experienced electronics technician. I set the charge controller to the default setting as indicated by the manual for Flooded Marine batteries and as shown in the attached photo. It clearly states that flooded marine batteries are charged with this setting. In addition to this charge controller, I purchased the Battery Voltage Monitor and the Battery Bank Balancer. All were connected properly. I have checked the batteries for proper water levels on a monthly basis and have had no issues. They are kept in a clean, relatively cool place in my garage. About 3 weeks ago, the balancer started to go into an alarm condition. The BVM unit showed an increasing difference between the lower and upper banks of my 24V system. Upon having the alarm trip, I disconnected all of the batteries and then began conducting tests. As it turned out, the charger was NOT charging the bank to the equalization charge of 32V. I have been back and forth with Victron for many issues related to their product. I have performed software updates. I now have a battery bank that is completely destroyed. Victron says that it is all MY fault for the following reasons: 1. I used the incorrect settings on the charger. 2. I did not have discussions with my "dealer" - the seller on this page. I have not been able to get an address or telephone number of this "dealer." I had hoped that this equipment would be better than the Chinese units on the market and better supported. Sadly, this is not the case. Victron offers NOTHING to help me with the destroyed batteries. I will be taking this up with small claims court - if possible.

This solar controller work so much better than the furrion controller that it replaced. Furrion was working fine, how didn't charge my lithium batteries well even though it was set for lithium. Also the Bluetooth works very well an allows me to see status and history anywhere in my camper. Furrion only worked if I was outside pretty much right next to it.

Testato funziona egregiamente.

Excelente producto

I bought this to add some solar panels to my LiFePo4 batteries, it works well and with the optional bluetooth adaptor it gives a lot of useful information. I will be going off grid soon when I move onto my block of land permanently and this is a good start to dip my toes in before I go totally off grid.

Its not fully installed as the seller doesn't tell you about the many accessories needed to optimize the product... It is heavy for such a tiny unit but just showing off its quality. So far so good we will see after the next string of accesoriess ever show up
