xVictron EasySolar 12/1600/70-16 230V MPPT 100/50 Inverter Charger — CEP121621000
The Victron EasySolar 12/1600/70-16 is an all-in-one 12V inverter charger with an integrated MPPT 100/50 solar charge controller, designed for off-grid and home storage systems running on 230V AC. It combines a MultiPlus inverter charger and a solar charge controller in a single unit, reducing wiring complexity and panel space for installers working on compact or space-constrained installations.
Key Features
- Integrated MPPT 100/50 solar charge controller handles up to 100V open-circuit PV voltage and 50A charge current.
- 1600VA inverter output at 230V AC, suitable for moderate off-grid loads and home storage applications.
- 70A battery charger built in, allowing fast recharge from AC mains or generator input.
- 16A AC transfer switch for seamless switching between shore/grid power and inverter output.
- 12V battery system voltage, compatible with lead-acid and lithium battery banks.
- All-in-one enclosure reduces installation time and simplifies system design compared to separate components.
- Compatible with Victron's VE.Bus and monitoring ecosystem for remote system management.
Product Overview
The EasySolar range integrates a MultiPlus inverter charger with a BlueSolar MPPT charge controller into one wall-mounted unit. In the 12/1600/70-16 variant, the 1600VA inverter provides 230V AC output from a 12V battery bank, while the 70A charger replenishes the battery from AC input. The MPPT 100/50 controller manages the solar array input independently, prioritising solar energy and reducing reliance on AC charging.
The 16A AC transfer switch connects to a shore power or generator supply. When AC input is present and within tolerance, the unit passes power through to connected loads and charges the battery simultaneously. On loss of AC input, the transfer to inverter output is fast enough for most sensitive equipment. This makes the unit well suited to cabins, boats, vehicles and small off-grid properties where a single compact unit is preferable to a multi-component installation.

Installation Notes
This unit involves connections to a 12V battery bank, a solar PV array and 230V AC mains or generator input. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with both DC battery systems and AC wiring regulations. Ensure battery cabling is correctly rated for the charge and inverter currents involved. The PV input must not exceed 100V open-circuit voltage. For any grid-connected or building-integrated installation in the UK, consult your DNO and confirm compliance requirements before commissioning.
