Victron BlueSolar PWM-Pro Charge Controller 12/24V-30A | SCC010030010

The Victron BlueSolar PWM-Pro is a pulse-width modulation solar charge controller rated at 30A for 12V or 24V battery systems, with automatic voltage detection. It suits off-grid installations where straightforward charging and load management are needed without the cost of MPPT electronics, and it is aimed at professional installers and trade buyers working on smaller off-grid systems, caravans, boats and remote power setups.

Key features of the BlueSolar PWM-Pro charge controller

• Charge current, 30A, with automatic 12V/24V system detection.
• Charging method, PWM algorithm that reduces stress on the battery during absorption and float stages.
• Load output, includes low-voltage disconnect to protect against over-discharge.
• Street lighting function, programmable on/off timers based on sunset and sunrise detection.
• Monitoring, VE.Direct port for connection to an optional VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle and the VictronConnect app.
• Battery types, sealed, gel, AGM and flooded lead-acid, plus a user-defined profile for non-standard chemistries.

Product overview

A PWM controller connects the panel directly to the battery once the target voltage is reached, then switches the connection on and off rapidly to hold the correct charge voltage. This suits systems where panel voltage is close to battery voltage and is a cost-effective route for simple off-grid setups. The Pro designation covers the added programmability over the standard BlueSolar PWM range, including the street lighting timer for gate motors and similar loads. A built-in temperature sensor adjusts charge voltage automatically for ambient conditions, which matters in vehicles, boats and outdoor enclosures where temperature swings are wide.

Applications

Used in off-grid cabins with lead-acid battery banks, caravan and motorhome solar charging, marine and narrowboat 12V or 24V systems, and solar-powered street lighting or gate automation with timed load control. It also fits rural and agricultural installations needing simple charge regulation without ongoing adjustment.

Installation notes

Fitting should be carried out by a qualified electrician or experienced solar installer. Confirm the panel's open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current sit within the controller's rated limits before wiring it in. The VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle is sold separately and is required for wireless monitoring. Do not use this controller with lithium batteries unless the battery manufacturer confirms compatibility with the available charge profiles.
