Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100/20
See price and availability (32)
The benchmark solar charge controller: 100V, 20A, built-in Bluetooth and up to 98% efficiency. The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 gets the most from your panels.
- Max PV voltage: 100V (12/24/48V auto)
- Charge current: 20A
- Efficiency: Up to 98% (MPPT)
- Monitoring: Built-in Bluetooth (VictronConnect)
- 98% MPPT with Bluetooth and Victron reliability
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 is a premium solar charge controller, renowned for its reliability and efficiency. It accepts up to 100V solar input and delivers 20A of charge, on 12V, 24V or 48V systems (automatic detection). Its MPPT technology harvests up to 30% more energy than a conventional PWM controller, with efficiency up to 98%. Its built-in Bluetooth lets you track output in real time and adjust settings from the VictronConnect app.
The Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 is a bit the controller you fit when you never want to worry again. The Victron brand is a benchmark in the off-grid world, and this model is a good example: in a van or RV setup, it really gets the most from the panels thanks to its MPPT technology, with efficiency you can feel over a plain PWM controller, especially under hazy skies. The built-in Bluetooth is a real everyday plus: from the VictronConnect app, you track solar output in real time, check the history and adjust charge settings without a single cable. The build quality inspires confidence for an installation meant to last years. Its only downsides are a price above budget Chinese controllers, and the need to size the model (100/20) correctly for your solar power. But for a reliable, durable installation, Victron remains the safe bet.
Victron Energy Phoenix 12/1200
See price and availability (10)
A thousand watts of true pure sine wave from a 12 volt battery: the reference among motorhome owners and sailors, with a five-year warranty.
- Output: 1000 W continuous at 25 °C, 2200 W peak
- Waveform: True pure sine wave, adjustable 230 V
- Standby: ECO mode, 1 W draw
- Format: 7.4 kg, 25 mm² screw terminals
- The pure sine wave that runs nearly anything
The Phoenix 12/1200 VE.Direct is the inverter that moves a 12 volt installation into domestic comfort: 1000 watts continuous at 25 °C, 850 watts at 40 °C, and up to 2200 watts peak to absorb a motor or compressor starting. The signal is a genuine pure sine wave produced by a toroidal transformer, and ECO mode brings standby draw down to a single watt. The VE.Direct port lets you configure and monitor the unit from a phone.
A thousand watts is the threshold at which an inverter stops being a stopgap and becomes a genuine onboard supply. Below it you charge appliances; at this level you run a coffee machine, an entry-level microwave, an angle grinder or a compressor fridge without thinking. The 2200 watt peak matters as much as the nominal rating: it absorbs the inrush current of a motor starting, the very moment when many cheap inverters simply shut down on protection. The Phoenix produces a pure sine wave through a toroidal transformer, an old but proven topology Victron has not abandoned in favour of lighter electronics. That explains the 7.4 kilos, and it also explains the reputation for reliability these units enjoy on boats that vibrate and motorhomes that get hot. ECO mode remains, as across the range, the argument buyers underestimate and then come to appreciate: one watt of standby instead of ten adds up to over two hundred watt-hours saved per week on an installation left connected. The VE.Direct port gives access to low-voltage cut-off thresholds, load-dependent dynamic cut-off, output voltage and frequency. Two reservations. Price first: at around two hundred and fifty euros on the continent it costs more than a modified sine unit rated at 2000 watts, and you need to understand why to accept that. Then battery sizing: 1000 watts out means nearly 90 amps drawn at 12 volts. A 100 amp-hour lead-acid battery will last only about thirty minutes at full load, and you need heavy-gauge cable up to the 25 square millimetre screw terminals.
Victron Energy Phoenix 12/500
See price and availability (4)
The inverter you fit once for a decade: true pure sine wave, an ECO mode that draws a single watt on standby, and five years of manufacturer warranty.
- Output: 400 W continuous at 25 °C, 900 W peak
- Waveform: True pure sine wave, adjustable 230 V
- Standby: ECO mode, 1 W draw
- Monitoring: VE.Direct port, remote on/off
- True pure sine wave and a 5-year warranty
The Phoenix 12/500 VE.Direct is the entry model in Victron Energy's inverter range, from a Dutch manufacturer whose equipment is found on boats, motorhomes and off-grid installations alike. It delivers 400 watts continuous at 25 °C and absorbs 900 watt peaks, in genuine pure sine wave. Its ECO mode drops it to standby at a single watt when nothing is plugged in, and its VE.Direct port lets you configure and monitor it from a phone.
There are two families of 12 volt inverter, and the difference is not obvious in a shop. Modified sine wave models, the vast majority below a hundred euros, produce a stepped approximation of mains current. That is fine for a lamp or a drill, but it makes transformers hum, motors run hotter and upsets some switched-mode power supplies. The Phoenix 12/500 belongs to the other family: it produces a genuine sine wave, indistinguishable from a wall socket, so it can run a medical device, a sewing machine, a tool charger or a computer power supply without reservation. The second thing that sets it apart is ECO mode. A conventional inverter draws current permanently, often five to ten watts, even with nothing plugged in: on a motorhome battery that empties a hundred amp-hours in a few weeks. The Phoenix instead drops to one watt on standby and wakes as soon as a load above fifteen watts appears. On an installation left permanently connected, that detail is the difference between a battery still charged in spring and a dead one. The VE.Direct port completes the picture: with a Bluetooth dongle you set the low-voltage cut-off thresholds, the output voltage and ECO mode from a phone. Two honest limits. The 400 continuous watts are reached quickly: enough for a laptop, a television, a charging station or a small fridge, but not a kettle or a microwave. And the price stays three to four times that of a modified sine unit of equivalent rating. What you pay for is signal quality, standby draw and a five-year warranty.
Victron Energy BlueSolar MPPT 75/15
See price and availability (3)
One of the most popular and affordable MPPT charge controllers. The ideal choice if you prefer this type of solar controller.
- Charge current: 15 A
- PV input: Max 75 V
- Type: MPPT
- Battery voltage: 12 / 24 V (auto)
- MPPT +30% vs PWM, 12/24V auto, BatteryLife
The BlueSolar 75/15 from Victron Energy is an MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracker) solar charge controller. Placed between the panels and the battery, it constantly locates the maximum power point of the panels, which improves energy harvest, especially under cloudy skies, by up to 30% more than a PWM controller. With its BatteryLife function, battery management is intelligent and optimal. An excellent choice for a small off-grid solar installation.
Victron Energy Gel Battery 12V/90Ah
See price and availability (2)
This Victron gel battery (90 Ah, 12 V) is sealed and maintenance-free, with a very long service life: an excellent storage core for your solar kit.
- Capacity: 90 Ah (C20), 80 Ah (C10)
- Voltage / Type: 12 V / Gel VRLA
- Service life: Up to 12 years
- Weight: 26 kg
- Sealed gel VRLA, maintenance-free, very durable
The battery is the heart of a solar kit: it stores the energy from the panels and releases it when needed. This Victron Energy battery uses gel (VRLA) technology, so it is 100% sealed and maintenance-free, with a very long service life even after deep discharges. At 90 Ah and 12 V, it offers one of the best compromises between capacity and size for most installations, with Victron's proven reliability.
We use this Victron gel battery on an off-grid installation, and it inspires confidence. No maintenance, no fumes: we even installed it in a poorly ventilated box without issue. After several deep-discharge cycles (nights without sun), it comes back without weakening and holds its voltage well. The 26 kg are felt when carrying it, and the price is not the lowest on the market, but here you pay for Victron's longevity and reliability. As the core of a solar kit built to last, it is a reassuring investment.
