Frequently Asked Questions
What solar panel configuration is needed for Victron BlueSolar PWM-Light 48V 30A?
For a 48V system, you need a solar panel configuration that produces a nominal voltage of at least 60V (for a 48V battery). The controller's max PV voltage is typically around 100V, but always check the manual. A common setup is 4x 12V panels in series or 2x 24V panels in series.
What is the max PV voltage for this controller?
The max PV voltage is usually around 100V, but verify the exact rating in the product manual. Ensure your panel array does not exceed this voltage, especially in cold weather when panel voltage rises.
How do I set up the load output timer?
The PWM-Light controller includes a load output with timer functions. Check the manual for DIP switch settings to configure dusk-to-dawn or timed lighting. The specific steps are outlined in the product documentation.
Can it handle 48V panels?
Yes, it is designed for 48V battery banks. For Panels, you need to ensure the panel Voc is within the controller's input limit. Typically, you'd use panels with Voc around 45-65V, connect in series to reach at least 60V.

No display
It works, but I wish it had a display to see stats. I have to use a voltmeter to check things. Not bad for the price, though.
