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.

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.

Double Insulated UV protected solar cable

Max load: 50A

Save yourself hours of drilling!  Get our essential toolkit for installing the boat swivel mounts!

Contains:

Cobalt drill bits (for drilling into the panel frame and boat hull) 8.5mm and 5.5mm

Ratchet and Tap

Marine Sealant

16mm cable - for Large Charge Controller to Batteries - 2 Meter leght with M8 Lug

You will need 2 cables per charge controler (Pos & Neg).  The Lugs are on 1 end only as the charge controllers have bare wire connectors.

If you need longer lengths please let us know

Panel mounted hydraulic-magnetic type circuit breakers that can be used for DC sources, inverters or load circuits.

Cable Gland Entry Box, use to connect through external surface.  Perfect for solar panel cables coming from outside to controller.

MC4 Solar Connector - Price is per MC4 pair simply select the quantity as the number of MC4 pairs you want.

These are the standard connectors used on most solar panels.

TUV certified, brand new, water /weather proof rubber seal that can ensure excellent electrical contact for life time service.
The metal pin is made from high quality machined copper and sealed tip (compare to the cheap sheet metal pin) that can ensure excellent electrical contact for life time service.
Build in press tabs for easy disconnect, no tool is needed. 25A max load.
Wires should be crimped or soldered into the pins and care should be taken to get the correct pin into the correct connector. Once the pin is pushed into the connector it is difficult to remove without the correct tooling.
