Product Overview
The Victron BlueSolar PWM-Light 12/24V-30A charge controller is engineered to efficiently manage solar energy transfer from panels to batteries, maintaining an optimal charge while preventing overcharging or excessive discharge. Its automatic voltage detection removes the need for manual configuration, simplifying setup for users of all experience levels.
The three-stage charging process ensures batteries are charged efficiently and safely:
- Bulk Stage: Rapidly delivers maximum current until the battery reaches a predefined voltage.
- Absorption Stage: Maintains voltage to ensure the battery is fully charged without overcharging.
- Float Stage: Keeps the battery at a safe voltage, ready for use, while minimizing energy loss.
The low voltage disconnect feature protects your batteries by disconnecting loads when the voltage drops below safe levels. This extends battery lifespan and ensures continued reliability. Additionally, the lighting control timer allows you to automate the operation of connected loads, such as solar-powered lighting systems, based on user-defined schedules.
Built with safety in mind, the controller includes protection mechanisms for overcurrent, reverse polarity, short circuits, and low voltage disconnect scenarios. Its robust design ensures long-lasting performance even in challenging environments.
