NOTE - MPPT and Battery Protect need to be in a weatherproof kennel or box. We have a battery box that may be suitable here: Durite Battery Box
DC Must run direct from the battery and battery protect, rather than the MPPT 'LOAD'.
Set battery protect to option '7' disconnect at 11,8V / 23,6V.
MPPT must be connected directly to the battery, NOT via the battery protect. The battery protect is to ensure there is always enough power for the MPPT to continue working in a low battery state and should be set
VRLA AGM: design life 7-10 years
VRLA GEL: design life 12 years
VRLA GEL 2 Volt cells: design life 20 years
The AGM range has very low internal resistance making them particularly suitable for high current discharge applications such as for inverters, thrusters and winches.
The GEL model range offers best deep cycle durability and overall longer life. The use of high purity materials and lead calcium grids ensure that for both AGM and GEL products have particularly low self-discharge so that they will not go flat during long periods without charge. Both ranges are supplied with M8 drilled, flat copper terminals ensuring best possible connection contact and eliminating the need for battery terminals. The batteries are compliant with both CE and UL specifications in ABS fireproof containers and come with Victron's 2 year world-wide warranty.
This is a really unique panel, at just over 1m x 1.5m, the perfect size to cap off a boat storage locker or small road trailer

The Triple Black DELTΔ SERIES 54 cell module from Perlight has proven extremely popular in the UK due to its sleek looks and diminutive size.
It is completely black with black busbars, a black back sheet and a black frame, which when installed in arrays, offers a more uniform appearance, enabling PV modules to integrate into new and existing buildings without necessarily making the array the focal point.
Not just aesthetically pleasing, the 300W Delta Black Monocrystalline module has PERC technology which essentially enables to improve light capture near the rear surface and to optimize electrons capture.
This module continues the trend from Perlight of well made, good looking products that offer outstanding value for money.


A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.
The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulphated or otherwise damaged.
MPPT: Ultra Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking
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.
Remote Monitoring and Control
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 with a GX device, the Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM) provides access to the full power of your MPPT, anytime, anywhere; both VictronConnect and VRM are free to use. For remote installations - even when there is no internet connection nearby - you may be able to monitor your MPPT by connecting the GlobalLink 520.
The BatteryProtect disconnects the battery from non essential loads before it is completely discharged (which would damage the battery) or before it has insufficient power left to crank the engine.

12/24V auto ranging
The BatteryProtect automatically detects system voltage
Programming made easy
The BatteryProtect can be set to engage / disengage at several different voltages. The seven segment display will indicate which setting has been chosen.
A special setting for Li-ion batteries
In this mode the Battery Protect can be controlled by the VE.Bus BMS.
Note: the Battery Protect can also be used as a charge interrupter in between a battery charger and a Li-ion battery. See connection diagram in the manual.
Ultra low current consumption
This is important in case of Li-ion batteries, especially after low voltage shutdown. Please see our Li-ion battery datasheet and the VE.Bus BMS manual for more information.
Over voltage protection
To prevent damage to sensitive loads due to over voltage, the load is disconnected whenever the DC voltage exceeds 16V respectively 32V.
Ignition proof
No relays but MOSFET switches, and therefore no sparks.
Delayed alarm output
The alarm output is activated if the battery voltage drops below the preset disconnect level during more than 12 seconds. Starting the engine will therefore not activate the alarm. The alarm output is a short circuit proof open collector output to the negative (minus) rail, max. current 50 mA. The alarm output is typically used to activate a buzzer, LED or relay.
Delayed load disconnect and delayed reconnect
The load will be disconnected 90 seconds after the alarm has been activated. If the battery voltage increases again to the connect threshold within this time period (after the engine has been started for example), the load will not be disconnected.
The load will be reconnected 30 seconds after the battery voltage has increased to more than the preset reconnect voltage.

Set of 4 Aluminium mounting brackets for mounting solar panels on vans, boats, sheds or a wooden frame as a easy cheap solar framing system.
** Panels larger than 100w are not recommended to use these alone, as a direct fixing to a vehicle roof. We suggest a bespoke solution using bolts, some of our customers use these brackets and modify them to achieve this, others get a locally fabricated solution **
Includes:
Aluminium mounting brackets;
Wood screws:St5.7 mm*30mm,
Socket Head Screw:M6*25mm,
One pole DIN rail mount fuse holder for 10 X 38 type fuses, suitable for protecting and isolating solar panel strings between the array and the charge controller input for example.
Rated to 1000VDC, 32A, accepts up to 16mm² cable. For use stand alone or for incorporation into a PV combiner Box with the 13 way bus bar and feeder terminal to take off the supply to a solar charge controller or solar inverter.

Protect your off-grid or grid tied PV system from unexpected string faults using Mersen’s HelioProtection® fuse line
Developed specifically for the protection of PV string wiring for 1000VDC industrial rooftop and utility scale photovoltaic systems. Its robust construction makes it ideal for continuous temperature and current cycling withstand adding to system longevity. The 1000VDC rated fuse is designed for low minimum breaking capacity capabilities of 1.35 times the fuse rated current value, allows for safe circuit interruption under typical low fault current conditions produced by PV arrays.
The 10 X 38mm fuse can be used standalone with the DIN mount string fuse holder to fuse a single circuit or as a bank of fuses in a solar combiner box.

25mm² cable per meter, Class 6 multi-stranded extra flexible tinned copper conductor, 180A rated for 5mins @ 100% Duty cycle
Conductor diameter approx 6mm, Overall diameter including sheath 10.5mm
Why Orange? Why no Red & Black options...
We only sell loose orange weld cable which is better than the red or black alternatives. It's top quality tinned copper cable, you need to accept the colour of the sheath or heat shrink over it. The benefits of tinned copper is better conductivity and much great corrosion resistance for marine and mobile applications.
In addition, our battery cables are manufactured in accordance with BS 638 Part 4 & EN 50525-2-81. It has a rubber compound to achieve the 85deg temp rating to meet all the requirements of EM5, that allows the cable to achieve the increased current carrying capacity.
Inferior cable has PVC instead of rubber and can only achieve a 70deg temp rating, which suggest a reduced current carrying capacity and inability to meet EM5 standards.
