These are the best charge controllers on the market, they are solid, reliable and what we use for The Bimble Inn.

The FLEXmax family of charge controllers is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power Technologies. The innovative FLEXmax MPPT software algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your photovoltaic array power yield up to 30% compared to non-MPPT controllers. Thanks to active cooling and intelligent thermal management cooling, both FLEXmax charge controllers can operate at their full maximum current rating, 60 Amps or 80 Amps respectively, in ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C).

Included in all of the FLEXmax Charge Controllers are the revolutionary features first developed by OutBack Power, including support for a wide range of nominal battery voltages and the ability to step-down a higher voltage solar array to recharge a lower voltage battery bank. A built-in, backlit 80 character display shows the current status and logged system performance data for the last 128 days at the touch of a button. The integrated OutBack network communications allows FLEXmax series Charge Controllers to be remotely programmed and monitored via a MATE system display and provides unrivaled complete system integration.

FLEXmax MPPT Charge Controllers are the only choice when you demand a high performance, efficient and versatile charge controller for your advanced power system.

Use with Tracer MPPT's - for a single panel on a 12V system you can use a 30A MPPT with this panel. 

This listing is for 1 panel, simply select how many you need in the quantity.  There is NO MINIMIUM Order.

A pair of 2mm stainless steel (316L) solar panel brackets designed with canalboats and vehicles in mind, supplied with marine standard cable glands and anti tamper bolts & bit. 

Allow your solar panels to both tilt and swivel throughout the year, maximising the sun's energy whilst providing excellent ventilation. This can improve the power of your panels by up to 40%, perfect for smaller systems where efficiency is key. *Standing at just over 25cm high and 16cm  wide they're designed to maximise the angle of your panels whilst being low enough for most bridges and tunnels. 

Using any padlock attach your panel securely to the roof via an integrated 8mm stainless steel chain that secures directly to the bracket, keeping your panels safe. The anti tamper bolts secure the bracket to your roof for maximum security deterring even the most determined of thieves.

Using M10 for both bolts and glands means you only need to drill six identical holes, saving both time and money on tools or labour whilst providing a safe and secure mounting solution. 

Tool Kit

A tool kit with everything you need for a waterproof and secure installation supplied separately, select the tool kit option to purchase this as well.

2 top spec cobalt drill bits and M10 tap and ratchet allow quick and easy installation with even the toughest steel roof. Supplied with marine sealant and instructions, a secure and waterproof installation can be done in as little as 4 hours.
