Victron Smart Solar 20A MPPT charge controller with max VOC 100V for 12V, 24V or 48V battery systems.

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 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.

Load output
The intelligent Load output function prevents damage caused by running batteries 'flat'. You can configure the voltage at which SmartSolar disconnects a load - thereby preventing excessive drain on your batteries. And here's the clever bit: SmartSolar will attempt a 100% recharge every day. If it can't - during periods of poor weather - it raises the disconnect voltage, daily, until it achieves success. We call this feature BatteryLife because it maintains the health, and extends the life of your battery.

Seven piece solar panel mounting kit in black ABS.

The set includes 6 brackets (4 corners and 2 sides) and cable entry gland. 

These mounts are ideal for fixing our solar panels to any vehicle, caravan, boat, barge or even outbuildings and sheds to provide a strong, secure and aesthetically pleasing fixing method.

The mounts will support the solar panel at 25mm above the surface enabling airflow underneath which keeps it cool, ensuring the solar panel functions at it's optimum.

General mounting guidance:

If using with panels equal to or under 175W, you can secure the panel by screwing or bolting it to the mounting corner.  The corner itself can be fixed with a good strong adhesive like 'Sikaflex' or 'CT1' which we sell in black white or clear.  See related products tab.  This removes the need to drill holes in your roof!  

You must ensure the roof is clean and dry before attaching.   If a painted roof ensure the paint is not flakey.

If you are using panels over 175W in size we recommend that not only do you bolt or screw the panel to the corners but additionally bolt or screw the mounting to the roof as well.

If fitting any panel to a vehicle we would recommend the belt and braces approach of bolting or screwing the panel to the mounts and additionally bolt or screw the mounts to the roof.  The strength of these systems is only as strong as the roof type or paint on your roof!

Notes:

- ABS mounts raise the panel by 25mm.  Edge of panel to edge of ABS is 55mm.

- You need to purchase additional self tappers or bolts to fit the panel to the ABS mounts, see below for one method which is a good tutorial to get you started...

Premade 6mm Solar Cable with Male to Female MC4 connectors, quick and easy to install.

(Please note if using as a cable run from panel to controller, you would cut in half giving you 2 x 10m lengths, MC4 to bare wire.)

Double Insulated UV protected solar cable

Max load: 70A in air

Our solar cable is ozone resistant according to BS EN 50396

UV resistant according to HD 605 S2 and is tested for durability according to EN 60216

Flexible tinned copper conductor

Conductor
Class 5 flexible tinned copper conductor
Insulation

Sheath
Halogen-free cross-linked, flame retardant compound
Sheath Colour

Fitted with Staubli 4-6mm MC4s - Staubli MC4 Link

Wire size range: 6mm2

Ideally 6mm solar cable max - for bigger units with bigger cable click here

Unit best used for housing 1 x AC RCBos, string fuse holders and fuses up to 32a as opposed to DC Din Mount breakers.

Best practice would be to use this unit with no bigger than 6mm square cable and appropriately sized breakers if you are using it with glands for a water tight fit.  If you are using it in an environment that is already dry and dust free the use of glands may not be necessary.

This is an empty unit, you must add the breakers you need to your cart as well, see related items tab above to see the breakers that fit.  

You will also need suitable cable entry glands - please see related products tab.
