Victron solar charge controllers are some of the best on the market, which is why we stock them here at Sunstore Solar.
The company has an excellent reputation for manufacturing high quality MPPT and PWM charge controllers and we use them in most of our installations.
Victron components are efficient, reliable, easy to install and require minimal maintenance.
They are great value too, which makes them an excellent option for both off-grid solar power systems or grid-connected systems.

Victron MPPT solar charge controllers
Victron MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar charge controllers can help maintain your batteries by charging them intelligently. They can also protect from reverse polarity and short circuits while also managing battery temperature.
You can also remotely monitor your solar power system with a mobile app thanks to built-in Bluetooth.
Victron MPPT solar charge controllers are smarter than PWM charge controllers but cost more.
We tend to recommend Victron MPPT solar charge controllers for high performance or larger solar power systems.
Victron PWM solar charge controllers
Victron PWM solar charge controllers are simpler switch controllers that help keep batteries charged from solar panels. They don’t have the protective features of MPPT charge controllers or the same monitoring capabilities.
They aren’t as smart as MPPT but are much cheaper to buy.
We often recommend Victron PWM solar charge controllers for smaller solar power systems that don’t need the extra monitoring capability.
Victron solar charge controller naming convention
If you’re shopping for a Victron solar charge controller at Sunstore Solar, you’ll see the product type, MPPT or PWM and two numbers, for example 150/35.
The first number (150 in the example) is the maximum open circuit voltage the controller can manage.
The second number (35 in the example) is the maximum charge current it can handle.
Victron solar charge controllers are available in 12v, 24v, 36v and 48v versions.
They can be paired with other Victron components to add more features.
