Victron MPPT controller

"Speaking of things that can take over your life, I paired [my new solar] panels with a very neat Victron BlueSolar MPPT controller with Bluetooth dongle.

This contraption connects to an iOS or computer app that allows you to track exactly what’s going on and change any settings you like. How cool is that?

Not only does it show you live data (you can see the changes as clouds or shadows cross the panels!!) it logs history so that you can analyze performance over time."

Thank you Matt and Lucy (and Hastings, too) for your enlightening blog about life onboard.

I am so happy with your [4-pin] controller I could jump up and down scream and holler! I have a Danfoss 12v unit in my Bristol Bay 32' Salmon Gillnetter built in freezer fridge unit this solution was better than trying to redo the freezer box area thank you for your product Danfoss told me there was no controller to be found they were wrong!

Both you and the product gets 5 stars.
     First, ordering on line was easy and straight forward. I appreciated the follow-up call on the credit card, as our billing and shipping address isn’t match. Can’t be too careful these days, and it was nice to have a company that verifies. The product shipped promptly and arrived as promised.
     The Merlin II speed controller works great and really provided energy savings better than what we expected. The controller helped bring down some temperature swings we were experiencing with the manual controller, and cut down on our energy usage.

I can't say enough of how happy we are with our frigaboat freezer and fridge system on our Hylas 56.
