2. Victron Energy Charge controller SmartSolar MPPT 100/20
A solar charger is powered by solar modules and stores energy in batteries. Using advanced technology, the BlueSolar charge controller maximizes energy harvesting and intelligently directs it to fully charge the batteries in the shortest time possible. The device maintains battery functionality, thereby extending its lifespan. By continuously monitoring the voltage and current output of your solar modules, the BlueSolar MPPT technology ensures that all available energy is extracted from the modules and stored. The advantage is particularly noticeable when the sky is partially cloudy and light intensity is constantly changing. You can remotely control and monitor the extensive features of your BlueSolar MPPT charger and pair it with your smartphone or another device via VictronConnect. When your system is connected to the Victron Remote Management Internet portal, you have full access to your MPPT anytime and from anywhere. Both services are available free of charge. The intelligent load output prevents damage caused by using depleted batteries. You can configure the voltage at which the BlueSolar charge controller disconnects a load to prevent excessive discharge of your batteries. The device attempts to recharge the battery to 100% every day. If this is not possible due to bad weather, it raises the disconnect voltage daily until it is successful.

4. Victron Energy battery balancer
The Victron state-of-charge equalizer balances the charge state of two 12 V batteries connected in series or multiple parallel strings of series-connected batteries. When the charging voltage of a 24 V battery system rises above 27 V, the state-of-charge equalizer activates and compares the voltage of the two series-connected batteries. The equalizer draws a current of up to 1 A from the battery or the parallel-connected batteries with the highest voltage. The resulting difference in charging current then ensures that all batteries align to the same charge state. If necessary, multiple state-of-charge equalizers can be connected in parallel. A 48 V battery bank can be balanced using three state-of-charge equalizers.
5. Sunset Charge Regulator HRSi Charge Regulat
The HRSi combines a charge controller for wind generators and a charge controller for solar modules up to 160 W in a device that is easy to install.
6. Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT
A solar charger is powered by solar modules and stores this energy in batteries. Using the fastest technology, the SmartSolar maximizes this energy collection and directs it intelligently to fully charge the batteries in the shortest time possible. The SmartSolar maintains the functionality of the battery, thereby extending its lifespan. The SmartSolar charge controller can even recharge a deeply discharged battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 volts, provided that the cells are not permanently sulfated or otherwise damaged.
7. Votronic 1430 Bluetooth Connector S-BC incl. Energy Monitor App
Bluetooth Connector S-BC by Votronic
The Votronic Energy Monitor consists of a special communication module (Bluetooth Connector S-BC) that, when used with a Votronic solar charge controller (from 2014 serial number 14Vxx.xxxxx) and/or the LCD Solar Computer S and/or the LCD Battery Computer S or VPC Jupiter with Smart Shunt, transmits the values displayed on the corresponding screen to a mobile device via Bluetooth. The required app for Android or iOS is available for free in the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.
Connecting the Bluetooth Connector S-BC is incredibly simple. It is connected using the modular cable included in the package between the Votronic solar charge controller and the LCD Solar Computer S or between the Smart Shunt and the LCD Battery Computer S or VPC Jupiter. The device has 2 inputs and outputs each, allowing one solar controller with LCD Solar Computer and one Smart Shunt with LCD Battery Computer or VPC Jupiter to be connected to a single communication module.
This way, all information about the onboard battery, such as voltage, charge and discharge currents, and remaining capacity, as well as all data from the solar system, can be conveniently read via a mobile phone or tablet. Additionally, the most important data is logged, presented graphically, and stored for an extended period. It is even possible to export the data as a CSV file for personal analysis purposes. Of course, the Bluetooth Connector S-BC can also be installed later at any time.
Technical specifications:
- Connection via Bluetooth 4.0 (2.4 GHz)
- Range up to 50 m outdoors
- Compatible with Votronic solar controllers, VBCS Triple Charger, LCD Battery Computer, and VPC Jupiter
- Dimensions HxWxD in mm: 75 x 47 x 24

8. Victron Energy BlueSolar
The load output disconnects the loads when the battery has been discharged to a predetermined voltage level. Alternatively, an algorithm for intelligent battery management can also be selected. The load output is short-circuit proof. Some loads, particularly inverters, are best connected directly to the battery. The inverter remote control is best connected to the load output. In some cases, a special interface cable may be required.
The BatteryLife algorithm monitors the state of charge of the battery. If necessary, it raises the threshold for disconnecting the load day by day until the energy gained is sufficient to charge the battery to nearly 100%. From this point on, the threshold for disconnecting the load is modulated so that charging to nearly 100% is achieved approximately once a week. Options for displaying data in real-time are available for Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, and other devices.
