Victron BlueSolar PWM-LCD&USB 48V-10A solar charge controller

Are you looking for a reliable solar charge controller? Then get the Blue Solar pwm Charge Controller lcd&USB from Victron Energy (mpn: scc040010050)! The smart controller for battery voltages of 48 volts and 10 ampere nominal charging current uses the proven pulse width modulation (pwm) in combination with an advanced multi-stage charging control algorithm to regulate the charging voltage. but that's not all:

Efficient battery optimization

The charge controller's advanced charging process using pwm is fully programmable and runs through three successive phases: Constant current, constant voltage and charge retention. In the constant current phase, the battery is charged with a stable current, enabling the rapid absorption of energy. In the constant voltage phase, the voltage is kept at a constant level in order to achieve the optimum battery capacity. The charge retention phase ensures that the battery maintains its full state of charge without overcharging. This intelligent charging strategy not only increases battery life, but also maximizes the efficiency of your Solaranlage by ensuring that your battery is always in top condition.

Intelligent load control

Protect your battery from overcharging by connecting all loads to the load output. This automatically disconnects the loads as soon as the battery reaches a predefined voltage value. Some loads, especially inverters that are connected directly to the battery, can be optimally coupled to the load output to ensure communication between the inverter and the controller. This may require a separate interface cable (see manual). The day/night time setting allows you to efficiently control your lighting or other loads after sunset. In addition, the controller offers pre-programmed algorithms for different battery types such as agm, gel, liquid electrolyte or LiFePO4 batteries with built-in bms. This ensures that your battery is optimally charged and protected, while the controller can also cleverly supply devices with renewable energy via the two 5v USB outputs - a real asset for your Solarasystem.

Further features:

• Two 5-volt USB outputs (max. 2 a total)
• Suitable for lead-acid and LiFEPO4 batteries with integrated BMS
• Fully programmable three-stage charging
• Load output (programmable), protected against overload and short circuits
• switching off the load at low voltage
• Reverse polarity protection for solar modules and/or battery
• Liquid crystal display (lcd)
• Programmable light control function
• Temperature protection

Comprehensive protection

The charge controller offers a comprehensive range of protection mechanisms to keep your Solarasystem and battery safe. Integrated overcurrent protection ensures that the charging currents remain within safe limits. In the event of short circuits, the controller switches off automatically to prevent damage. The reverse polarity protection also protects against incorrect connections of solar modules or batteries. For battery optimization, the controller offers a three-stage charging system that divides the charging process into constant current, constant voltage and charge retention. If the battery voltage is too low, the controller automatically switches off the load to prevent deep discharge. In addition, the temperature protection monitors the operating temperature and adjusts the charging strategy accordingly to extend battery life and optimize performance.

Pulse width modulation (pwm)

Pulse width modulation (pwm) is a method of controlling electrical power that is often used in charge controllers for solar modules. With pwm control, the voltage for charging the battery is supplied in the form of rapid switching pulses. During the charging process, the duration of these pulses is adjusted depending on the current battery voltage and charge. The lower the battery voltage, the longer the pulses to charge the battery with a higher current. As soon as the battery voltage approaches the desired end-of-charge voltage, the pulses are shortened to keep the battery gently at the desired state of charge. This enables efficient and precise charging of the battery and prevents overcharging.

Crystal clear display

The liquid crystal display, also known as lcd, uses the properties of liquid crystals to modulate light and thus display clear images under a wide range of lighting conditions. Energy efficient and with high resolution, it provides a clear and intuitive display for real-time monitoring of the status of your Solarasystem. You can easily read the charging current, battery voltage and other important information. In addition, the screen serves as a user interface for easy set-up and configuration of the charge controller. With just a few buttons, you can navigate effortlessly through the menus, adjust settings and optimize your Solarasystem according to your needs. This means you are always in control of your energy production. The programmable light control function allows you to set the operating time of your lighting according to your individual needs, which can result in energy savings and optimized use of solar power.
