Victron ‘SmartSolar’ Controllers
Victron Energy, based in the Netherlands, have been manufacturing power conversion equipment since 1975 and have become well known around the world for producing reliable off-grid battery inverter/chargers and a wide range of quality, affordable solar controllers.
The Smartsolar charge controller gathers energy from your solar panels and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life. The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulphated or otherwise damaged.
