{"id":353,"count":72,"description":"The solar charge controller manages the flow of energy between the photovoltaic panels and the batteries, protecting the battery bank from overcharging and optimising the charging process to maximise the batteries\u2019 service life. It is one of the most critical components of any off-grid or battery-storage system.\n\nAt FVComponentes.com, we specialise in charge controllers <a href=\"\/en\/brand\/victron\/\">Victron Energy<\/a>, available in two technologies with very different characteristics:\n\n\n<strong><a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/solar-charging-regulators\/mppt-regulators\/\">MPPT Regulators<\/a><\/strong> (Maximum Power Point Tracking): they extract the maximum available power from the panels at all times, even in conditions of partial cloud cover or high temperature. They can recover up to 30% more energy than a PWM regulator with the same panels. SmartSolar MPPT range with integrated Bluetooth and BlueSolar MPPT without Bluetooth, from the 75\/10 for camper vans to the RS 450\/200 for large-scale installations.\n<strong><a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/solar-charging-regulators\/pwm-controllers\/\">PWM controllers<\/a><\/strong> (Pulse Width Modulation): a simpler and more economical technology. Suitable for small 12V installations with low-voltage panels and low power consumption. It does not offer the optimisation benefits of MPPT but has a lower initial cost.\n\n\nAll Victron SmartSolar MPPT controllers feature built-in Bluetooth for configuration and monitoring via the VictronConnect app, and are compatible with VE.Direct for integration with <a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/solar-inverters\/monitoring\/\">Cerbo GX<\/a> and Venus OS. The BlueSolar models offer the same charge electronics without a Bluetooth module, at a lower price.\n\nIf you\u2019re unsure which solar charge controller you need for your panels and batteries, our <a href=\"\/en\/victron-support\/\">technical equipment<\/a> calculates it for you.","link":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/categoria-producto\/reguladores-de-carga-solares\/","name":"Solar charge controllers","slug":"solar-charging-regulators","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":67,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
