It suits off-grid cabins, caravans, campervans, boats and small standalone solar installations where a simple, reliable PWM charger with a built-in display is needed. The integrated USB output allows direct charging of phones and small devices without a separate adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePWM (Pulse Width Modulation) charge regulation for 12V and 24V battery systems, with automatic voltage detection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in LCD display shows battery voltage, charge current, and system status at a glance without additional monitoring hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated USB output port for charging phones, tablets and other USB-powered devices directly from the solar system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5A maximum charge current, suitable for small solar panels up to approximately 75W (12V) or 150W (24V).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.24 kg, making it straightforward to mount in confined spaces such as campervan cabinets or small enclosures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron BlueSolar range: designed for long service life in small off-grid applications with proven PWM charge management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePWM charge controllers work by connecting the solar panel directly to the battery during the bulk charge phase, then switching the connection on and off rapidly to maintain the battery at its target voltage. This approach is well suited to small systems where the panel voltage is close to the battery voltage, and where the lower cost and simplicity of PWM is more appropriate than the added expense of MPPT technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe LCD screen on this controller removes the need for a separate battery monitor in basic installations. Installers and end users can read charge state and current directly from the unit. The USB port is a practical addition for mobile and leisure applications, eliminating the need for a separate 12V-to-USB adapter in the vehicle or cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 5A, this controller is intended for small panel arrays. It is not suited to larger systems or where significant energy harvest optimisation is required. For those applications, Victron's MPPT range would be the appropriate choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: SCC010005050\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSystem voltage: 12V \/ 24V (automatic detection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum charge current: 5A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge algorithm: PWM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisplay: Built-in LCD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSB output: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.24 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076046172\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall off-grid cabins and garden buildings with a single solar panel and a 12V or 24V battery bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaravans and campervans requiring a basic solar charge controller with on-board display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNarrowboats and small leisure craft with modest solar charging requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote monitoring stations, gate openers and small standalone 12V or 24V systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEducational and demonstration solar installations where simplicity and low cost are priorities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Victron BlueSolar PWM-LCD \u0026amp; USB 12\/24V 5A charge controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis controller is intended for small 12V and 24V DC systems. Ensure the solar panel open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current are within the controller's rated limits before connecting. Correct fusing between the battery and the controller is required. While this product is suitable for competent DIY installation in low-voltage leisure applications, any installation forming part of a fixed electrical system in a building or vessel should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59856066707790,"sku":"SCC010005050","price":15.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_SCC010005050_-_BlueSolar_PWM-LCD_USB_12-24V-5A.webp?v=1781102132","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-bluesolar-pwm-lcd-usb-12-24v-5a","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
