It automatically detects 12V or 24V battery banks and combines a built-in LCD display with a USB output port, making it a practical fit for cabins, caravans, boats and remote sites where charge status needs to be visible at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVictron BlueSolar PWM-LCD\u0026amp;USB key features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharge regulation\u003c\/strong\u003e - PWM control for 12V and 24V systems with automatic voltage detection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay\u003c\/strong\u003e - built-in LCD shows battery voltage, charge current, solar input and system status.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB output\u003c\/strong\u003e - integrated port for direct charging of phones, tablets and other USB devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum charge current\u003c\/strong\u003e - 20A, supporting arrays up to approximately 260W (12V) or 520W (24V).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.24 kg, suitable for panel mounting or enclosure installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e - sealed, gel and flooded lead-acid batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad output\u003c\/strong\u003e - low-voltage disconnect protects the battery from over-discharge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePWM controllers connect the solar panel directly to the battery once a set voltage threshold is reached, then switch the connection rapidly on and off to hold the correct charge level. This suits smaller systems where panel voltage is closely matched to battery voltage, and where the lower cost of PWM over MPPT is the priority. The LCD gives a clear read-out without a separate monitor or app, and the USB port is useful where mains power is not available. The load output with low-voltage disconnect helps in unattended sites such as remote monitoring stations or holiday properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaravans and motorhomes with a single solar panel and leisure battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNarrowboats and sailing yachts needing a simple, visible charge controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabins and garden buildings with a small solar array.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote monitoring or telemetry installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgricultural or rural sites with basic 12V or 24V solar requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit by a competent person familiar with 12V and 24V DC systems. Check the solar panel open-circuit voltage does not exceed the controller's rated input. Connect the battery before the solar panel, and disconnect in reverse order. Follow the relevant wiring regulations for boat or vehicle installations. This controller is not intended for grid-connected systems and does not require G98 or G99 compliance. Use appropriately rated DC fusing and cabling throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 x Victron BlueSolar PWM-LCD\u0026amp;USB 12\/24V-20A charge controller\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52060529852704,"sku":"SCC010020050","price":23.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-scc010020050-1.webp?v=1785492983","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/bluesolar-pwm-20a-charge-controller","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
