It suits off-grid installations where a straightforward, cost-effective charging solution is required. The built-in LCD display and USB output make it practical for smaller systems where monitoring and device charging are useful on-site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e48V system voltage with 30A charge current capacity, suitable for medium-sized off-grid solar arrays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePWM charging algorithm maintains battery health by tapering current as the battery approaches full charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in LCD display shows real-time system data including battery voltage, charge current and charge state.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated USB output port allows direct charging of small devices from the solar system without a separate adapter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.3 kg, making it straightforward to mount in enclosures or on DIN rail with appropriate accessories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron BlueSolar range provides reliable PWM control with a proven track record across off-grid and backup applications.\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 directly connecting the solar panel to the battery once the battery reaches its set voltage, then rapidly switching the connection on and off to maintain the correct charge level. This approach is well suited to systems where the panel voltage is closely matched to the battery bank voltage. For 48V battery banks, the solar array should be configured to produce a voltage compatible with PWM operation, typically around 60V open-circuit or less depending on temperature conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe LCD display on this unit gives installers and end users a clear read of system status without needing a separate monitoring device or app. This is particularly useful in remote or standalone installations where a phone or laptop may not always be available. The USB port adds a practical convenience for sites where small electronics need occasional charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis controller does not include Bluetooth or VE.Direct connectivity. For installations requiring remote monitoring or integration with a Victron GX device, an MPPT controller from the SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPT range would be more appropriate. The PWM-LCD \u0026amp; USB range is best suited to budget-conscious or straightforward off-grid builds where simplicity and low cost are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: SCC040030050\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSystem voltage: 48V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge current: 30A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharging 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: 0.3 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076046257\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and rural buildings with 48V battery banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAgricultural or smallholding installations requiring basic solar charging without complex monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackup power systems where a simple, low-cost charge controller is sufficient.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTelecoms or remote equipment enclosures running on 48V DC systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEducational or demonstration solar setups where cost and simplicity 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 48V-30A 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 48V battery systems only. Connecting it to a battery bank of a different voltage will cause incorrect operation or damage. Ensure the solar array open-circuit voltage is within the controller's rated input limits before connecting. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced solar installer. All wiring should be correctly fused and sized for the 30A charge current. For grid-tied or hybrid systems, this controller is not suitable and an appropriate inverter-charger or MPPT solution should be used instead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59867212644686,"sku":"SCC040030050","price":27.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_SCC040030050_-_BlueSolar_PWM-LCD_USB_48V-30A.webp?v=1781202262","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-bluesolar-pwm-lcd-usb-48v-30a","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
