Description
xVictron BlueSolar PWM-LCD & USB 12/24V 30A Charge Controller — SCC010030050
The Victron BlueSolar PWM-LCD & USB 12/24V 30A is a pulse-width modulation solar charge controller designed for 12V and 24V battery systems. It suits off-grid cabins, campervans, caravans, boats and small standalone solar installations where a straightforward, reliable charge controller with on-device monitoring is required. The built-in LCD display and USB output port make it a practical choice for installations where simplicity and visibility of charge status matter.
Key Features
- Compatible with 12V and 24V battery systems, with automatic voltage detection.
- 30A maximum charge current, suitable for solar arrays up to approximately 400W at 12V or 800W at 24V.
- Built-in LCD display shows battery voltage, charge current, solar input and charge state without requiring a separate monitor.
- Integrated USB output port allows direct charging of small devices such as phones and tablets from the solar system.
- PWM charging algorithm maintains battery health by reducing current gradually as the battery approaches full charge.
- Supports sealed (AGM and gel), flooded and lithium battery types via selectable charge profiles.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.371 kg, making it easy to mount in confined spaces.
- Load output with low-voltage disconnect protects the battery from deep discharge.
Product Overview
PWM charge controllers work by connecting the solar panel directly to the battery once the target voltage is reached, then switching the connection on and off rapidly to maintain that voltage. This approach is well established and cost-effective for smaller systems where the solar panel voltage is closely matched to the battery voltage. The BlueSolar PWM range from Victron Energy is built to the same quality standards as their MPPT products, making it a dependable choice for entry-level and budget-conscious installations.
The LCD display on this unit gives installers and end users immediate visibility of system status without needing a smartphone, Bluetooth adaptor or separate battery monitor. This is particularly useful in installations where the controller is accessible, such as in a caravan locker or cabin wall. The USB port adds everyday convenience, allowing device charging directly from the solar system without a separate USB adaptor or inverter.
At 30A, this controller can handle a meaningful solar array for a 12V or 24V off-grid system. It is worth pairing the panel voltage carefully: PWM controllers perform best when the panel's nominal voltage matches the battery bank voltage, so a 12V panel for a 12V battery or a 24V panel configuration for a 24V bank.

Installation Notes
This controller should be installed by a competent person familiar with 12V and 24V DC solar systems. Ensure the solar panel nominal voltage matches the battery bank voltage before connecting, as PWM controllers do not step down panel voltage in the way MPPT controllers do. Connect the battery first, then the solar panel, and finally any load. Fuse all DC connections appropriately and follow the wiring instructions supplied with the unit. For installations on vessels or vehicles, ensure compliance with relevant marine or automotive wiring standards.
