Built Tough
De-centralised design provides system redundancy and lower maintenance and repair costs. This also means that you are not limited by inverter size for upgrades as additional MPPT's can be added to the system or an AC Couple with Fronuis or SolarEdge to provide the Solar Power required. This gives you the best of both worlds for battery charging efficiency and high voltage DC conversion for day time loads. With a proven track record in the industry, Victron is best suited for farmsteads and small manufacturing businesses as it is one of a few transformer-based (low frequency) options available on the market.

The South African scene Victron Energy products have been available in South Africa for more than 20 years, initially in the UPS and industrial sectors. New market sectors have developed internationally, and with the rapid growth of the solar energy market in Africa over the last 15 years, Victron Energy has also grown its product range and customer network in this sector. Today, a wide range of models has been developed for each product sector, many with unique features aimed at optimising both energy management and the user experience. One of the more popular innovations is the range of Bluetooth-enabled Smart products. Data from these products is accessed via the Victron Connect App, which is a free download from your app store. The App provides a wide range of accurate real-time and historical monitoring data. For instance, in the case of a battery charger, the app is able to instantly answer user questions about the current charge of the battery, the input voltage from the charger, the charging phase, and more: all shown on the screen of your smartphone. No more guesswork. Together with features like this, Victron Energy has also ensured that its products are rugged in design, efficient in performance, and ready for the future. Most are designed to work in battery-based applications, and here Victron has invested in keeping up with the trend towards LiFePo4 (lithium-ion) batteries in solar energy and motorcycle applications. Although lithium-ion is a more expensive solution than traditional lead-acid batteries, the long-term benefits make them more cost-effective. Victron’s battery chargers and MPPT solar chargers are already lithium-ion ready.
