The Victron BlueSolar PWM-Light 12/24V-5A is a PWM solar charge controller rated for 5 A charge current. It detects 12 V or 24 V battery systems automatically and has a load output with manual control and low voltage disconnect. Maximum solar voltage is 28V / 55V, and the case is rated IP20. Charging runs in three stages, bulk, absorption and float, with no programming. There is no temperature sensor, and self-consumption is 10 mA.
Our take
The fixed three-stage charging, with no programming and no temperature sensor, keeps this 5 A controller simple but leaves nothing to tune for the battery type. The load output's low voltage disconnect adds some protection for the battery.
From our buying guide
NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
