Victron BlueSolar Light 48-30 30A PWM Charge Controller

Product Description

The Victron BlueSolar Light 48-30 30A is the most powerful PWM controller in the Light series for 48 V systems. It maintains the philosophy of simplicity, reliability, and low consumption that characterizes the range, but with a 30 A output capable of managing installations with larger photovoltaic surface area and more demanding loads. It implements a three-stage charging strategy (bulk, absorption, and float) with voltages optimized for lead-acid, protecting the battery against deep discharges thanks to low voltage disconnect (LVD). In addition, it integrates day/night lighting control with an adjustable timer from its seven-segment display, eliminating the need for additional equipment in solar lighting projects.

Main Features

• 30 A nominal current for 48 V, ideal for higher consumption systems.
• Three-stage charging: bulk 58.0 V, absorption 56.8 V, and float 55.2 V to extend battery life.
• LVD at 44.8 V with reconnection at 50.4 V (manual) or 52.4 V (automatic) to prevent deep discharges.
• Integrated lighting control with day/night detection and configurable timer from the display.
• PV max. 100 V open circuit, common positive, and self-consumption < 10 mA.
• Comprehensive protections: PV/battery reverse polarity, overload, short circuit, and overtemperature.

Advantages or Benefits

• Higher capacity without sacrificing the simplicity and low cost of PWM control.
• Longer battery life due to precise voltage management and LVD that prevents severe discharges.
• Component savings: the day/night timer eliminates external controllers in solar lighting.
• Quick installation in compact panels: accessible terminals, clear interface, and lightweight design.
• Ultra-low self-consumption that prioritizes available energy for system loads.

Purpose or Applications

Recommended for public and residential lighting at 48 V, autonomous signage and billboards, small remote stations with moderate/high loads, auxiliary telecom, marine or camper at 48 V, and any project requiring a robust PWM regulator with integrated lighting control and high current.

Technical Specifications

Compatibilities

Suitable for PV strings with Voc ≤ 100 V and lead-acid batteries (AGM/GEL) at 48 V. Recommended accessories: DC fuses and fuse holders, disconnect switches, surge protection, and wiring suitable for current and distance.

Victron BlueSolar Light 48-30 30A is the 48 V PWM solution for those who need higher current with integrated lighting control, professional reliability, and efficient, simple operation.
