Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Firmware updates are automatic via your cellphone and the victronconnect app. A lot of functionality built into one unit without the headache of extra parts. It deserves everything you pay for it.

The built in bluetooth requires an app called victron connect(i have an android nokia smartphone) the app was downloaded and installed without issue. The victron app says that this is necessary on android due to the os requirements (and that they don'... Read More

Renogy scc converts excess voltage to the appropriate voltage (12 or 24 volts) and current (amps) to charge your batteries. The extra panels are very helpful in shade or cloudy days(or both) the charge controller allows me to squeeze out all the watta... Read More

Quality

Fully customizable, built in bluetooth, solid build quality.

- robustly made, feels hefty to the hand.

I have had it now for a couple weeks and keep trying to add more to this shed as i cannot even use all the power this little provides.

Two models with higher capacity failed under one month.

Price

It offers a huge amount of value for money, and i strongly recommend it.

One of them was twice the cost of this one.

Completely my fault so i ordered a new one and wired it correctly but now i'm out 70 bucks because of my dumb mistake.

Got it since it had bluetooth at this price.

Shipping

This mppt solar controller arrived as promised and was installed in my rv without any issues.

Packaging/appearance

Given the various markings on the package, it clearly wasn't a brand new unit from victron.

With this unit, the package had some odd stickers and notations on it (see photo) but i assumed it was okay and held onto it.

Competitiveness

I've enjoyed this controller (75v/15amps) since april of this year and i've enjoyed using other victron mppt controllers going ... Read More

Victron says they can't possibly know the specs for your brand battery, so don't have a flooded lead acid type in the drop down.

I had previously used a competitor's simple pwm controller but wanted to upgrade to mppt for greater efficiency and to take adv... Read More

They are not that much more expensive then other brands and you get a significantly better product.
