​The AN tracer models have a current limiting function, you can connect 1.5 times the rated power to the controller ​so if your on a budget you can use a smaller controller with more panels so that you get more power in winter or low light but don't risk overloading the controller in the summer.  The output will be limited to the max listed above.

Supports upto 6 units in parallel with a PTA adapter for communication and equalize of the paralleled units

Local temperature sensor included, remote 3m temperture sensor optional.

Tracer AN series controller, based on multiphase synchronous rectification technology (MSRT) and advanced MPPT control algorithm, with dual-core processor architecture and common negative design, has the features of high response speed, high reliability, and high industrial standard. MSRT can guarantee very high conversion efficiency in any charge power, which sharply improves the energy efficiency of solar system; Advanced MPPT control algorithm minimize the maximum power point loss rate and loss time, to ensure the tracking efficiency, corresponding speed as well as high conversion efficiency under high or low power, so that in any situation, Tracer AN products can rapidly track the maximum power point (MPP) of PV array to obtain the maximum energy of the panel. The limitation function of the charging power and current and automatic power reduction function fully ensure the stability when works with oversize PV modules and operate under high temperature environment.

With the adaptive three-stage charging mode based on digital control circuit, Tracer AN series controllers can effectively prolong the life-cycle of battery and significantly improve the system performance. The load, utility or generator auto-control relays make it easy to compose the hybrid power system. All-around electronic protections, including overcharging, over discharging, and PV reverse polarity protection, effectively ensure the safer and more reliable operation of the solar system for a longer service time. The isolated RS485 interface with standard MODBUS communication protocol and 5V power supply makes it easy for customer to expand the application, Support up to 8 charging in parallel to expand system and meet with different monitoring requirements, so that can be widely used for various applications, e.g. solar RV, household system and field monitoring, etc.

An affordable Pure Sine Wave inverter from EPSolar/EPEver - the manufacturers of our MPPTs

IPower series is a kind of pure sine wave inverter which can convert. 12/24/48VDC to 220/230VAC(or 110/120VAC). Industrial design, compared with the civil design, has a wider operating temperature, easy installation and operation. The wide input voltage range is ideal for solar system application. The inverter can be applied in many fields, such as household emergency lighting system, vehicle mounted system and small field power supply etc.

Product Highlights

• Safe design with input and output electrical isolation
• Adoption of advanced SPWM technology, pure sine wave output
• Optional output voltage220/230VAC (or 110/120VAC ), setted by DIP switch
• Output frequency 50/60Hz, setted by DIP switch
• LED indicators for working and fault status
• Lower No-load consumption
• Max. efficiency up to 95%
• Input protection: Over voltage protection, low voltage protection
• Output protection: Over load protection, short circuit protection
• Over temperature protection: Temperature-controlled Fan Ventilation; Inverter turns off automatically

Please note this particular model does not have an active USB or RJ45 port and therefore cannot be used with the MT75 display.

Please note this unit does not come with cabling, we recommend 50mm cable and a 200A DC breaker or fuse and fuse holder. The battery cable connections are M6 bolts, therefore M6 lugs are required for cable termination.

The Smart Battery Shunt

The SmartShunt is an all in one battery monitor, only without a display. Your phone acts as the display. The SmartShunt connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect App on your phone (or tablet) and you can conveniently read out all monitored battery parameters, like state of charge, time to go, historical information and much more.

Alternatively the SmartShunt can be connected and be read by a GX device. Connection to the SmartShunt is made via a VE.Direct cable.

The SmartShunt is a good alternative for a BMV battery monitor, especially for systems where battery monitoring is needed but less wiring and clutter is wanted.
The SmartShunt is equipped with Bluetooth, a VE.Direct port and a connection that can be used for: monitoring a second battery, midpoint monitoring or a temperature sensor.

This unit has M10 bolts.

Ready assembled VSR bundle

Ready assembled bundle with a 6 + 1 metre pre-assembled heavy duty wiring harness with twin fuses. The bundle is manufactured using 2 x midi fuse holders & 16mm2 / #6 AWG heavy duty extra flexible battery cable.

Bi-Directional, zero loss Split Charging
Fully automatic operation
‘Connected’ LED indicator
Sealed for marine/under hood installation
Ignition Protected

Very simple to install, does not require a connection to vehicle alternator

Fully epoxy sealed unit for years of trouble free service

Only 3 Connections to make

Power in, Power out & negative...that's it!
The idea of a "voltage sensitive relay" (VSR) or "voltage controlled relay" (VCR) as they are sometimes known,  is to simplify the installation, no connection is made to the vehicles alternator .

Simply connect this relay to the towing vehicles positive battery terminal (via a fuse!) and link to the leisure battery
The relay monitors the towing vehicles battery voltage and when it reaches 13.3vdc, the relay switches on and supplies charging current to the aux. circuits.  When the engine is stopped and the voltage of the vehicles main battery drops below 12.8vdc the unit switches off.
Only 3 connections are required to the unit and as such it can be fitted in next to no time .
Supplied with detailed full colour  instructions.

Switch on voltage 13.7vdc

Switch off voltage 12.7vdc

Dimensions:-65 x 65 x 53mm

Relay connections:- 2 x 6mm studs for power in and out. 1 x 450mm cable for negative

Please Note: Do not use on Euro V/VI engines, or engines with smart alternators or regenerative brakes.  These newer systems do not give a constant voltage and are not suitable for this split charge relay, please use this instead Programmable relay

Fixes without screwing holes in your roof!

Panels over 175w should be bolted down, these are unsuitable.

Set of seven black solar panel mounting kit, including 6 brackets (4 corners and 2 sides) and cable gland.  They 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 the correct height above the surface to enable the flow of air underneath the panel and keep it cool, ensuring the solar panel functions at it's optimum. The mounts can be safely bonded to the surface removing the need to drill holes.  The panel is secured by screwing or bolting it to the mounting corner, but the corner itself can be fixed with a good strong adhesive like 'Sikaflex' or 'CT1' or any polyurethane sealant to the roof. (Ensure the roof is clean and dry before attaching.   If a painted roof ensure the paint is not flakey)

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

We sell CT1 which is great for sticking these down, please see related products tab for different colours avaialble.

If you are fitting to a vehicle we recommend that you additionally bolt or screw the panel and mounting down as well, as the strength of these systems is only as strong as the roof type or paint on your roof!

NOTE - You need to purchase additional self tappers or bolts to fit the panel to the ABS mounts, see below for one method...

Here is a good tutorial to get you started:
