The BlueSolar PWM-Pro is a 10 A PWM solar charge controller from Victron that detects 12 V or 24 V batteries automatically. It has a load output with manual control and low voltage disconnect. The maximum solar voltage is 28V / 55V, the controller draws 10 mA itself, and the case is rated IP30. It protects against reverse polarity on the panels or battery. State of charge needs a remote panel to display it.

Our take

The load output has manual control plus low voltage disconnect, so a small circuit can be cut off before the battery runs flat. State of charge only shows once a remote panel is added, so on its own this controller gives no readout.

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.
