Victron Energy ORI242428110 Solar Panel Charge Controller 24V 8A 380W

The Victron Energy ORI242428110 is a high-performance solar panel charge controller designed for 24V systems. With an adjustable output voltage from 20 to 30 V DC (default 24.2 V) and a continuous output current of 8 A, it delivers up to 380 W of power. This isolated controller features built-in Bluetooth Smart for easy monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app. Its adaptive 3-stage charging algorithm (Bulk, Absorption, Float) ensures optimal battery charging for lead-acid (Flooded, GEL, AGM) and LiFePO4 batteries.

Advantages

High efficiency of 92% minimizes energy loss. The controller can also be used as a power supply and supports remote on/off via H-pin and L-pin. Unlimited parallel operation allows scalability for larger systems. Protection features include output short circuit, over-temperature, and input reverse polarity (internal fuse). The aluminium enclosure with IP43 rating (when installed with screw terminals downwards) ensures durability.

Suitable for

• Off-grid solar systems
• RV and marine applications
• Remote monitoring stations
• Backup power systems
