xVictron EasySolar 24/1600/40-16 230V MPPT 100/50
The Victron EasySolar 24/1600/40-16 is an all-in-one solar inverter charger combining a 1600VA inverter, 40A MPPT solar charge controller, and 16A mains charger in a single wall-mounted unit. Designed for 24V battery systems, it suits off-grid homes, cabins, boats, and self-consumption installations where space and simplicity matter. It eliminates the need to wire separate components, reducing installation time and potential points of failure.
Key Features
- Integrated 1600VA pure sine wave inverter, 40A MPPT solar charge controller, and 16A battery charger in one unit.
- MPPT 100/50 charge controller accepts up to 100V open-circuit PV voltage and delivers up to 50A charge current to the battery bank.
- 24V nominal battery voltage with support for a range of battery chemistries including lead-acid and lithium.
- 230V AC output suitable for standard UK and European loads.
- Built-in PowerControl and PowerAssist functions to limit mains input draw and supplement from battery when demand peaks.
- VE.Direct port for monitoring and configuration via Victron's GX devices or VictronConnect app.
- Wall-mounted enclosure with all connections in one location, reducing installation complexity.
- Weight: 15.37 kg.
Product Overview
The EasySolar 24/1600/40-16 integrates three functions that would otherwise require separate devices and inter-wiring. The MPPT 100/50 charge controller handles PV arrays with open-circuit voltages up to 100V, making it compatible with small to medium string configurations. The 50A maximum charge current is well matched to the 24V battery systems this unit is designed for, allowing reasonable solar harvest without oversizing the battery bank.
PowerControl monitors the available mains current and prevents the combined load of the charger and connected AC loads from exceeding the shore or generator input limit. PowerAssist extends this by drawing from the battery to cover short-term demand spikes that would otherwise trip a breaker or overload a small generator. Both functions are configurable, which is useful when the installation has a limited mains supply or relies on a generator for backup charging.
The unit communicates via VE.Direct, allowing integration with Victron GX devices such as the Cerbo GX for system monitoring, data logging, and remote access. Configuration is handled through the VictronConnect app over Bluetooth (if a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle is used) or directly via a GX device. This makes commissioning and ongoing monitoring straightforward without requiring a laptop on site.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with battery-based solar systems. The unit must be connected to a 24V battery bank of appropriate capacity. PV array open-circuit voltage must not exceed 100V under any conditions, including cold temperatures. For any installation involving grid connection or export, G98 or G99 compliance requirements apply and a DNO notification may be required. Battery type and charge parameters should be configured correctly before commissioning to avoid damage to the battery bank.
