MPPT solar controllers
Victron 100/50 MPPT controller
The size a catamaran or a liveaboard with a full arch actually needs.
Specifications and model checks
This profile identifies a brand and rating or model family. Confirm the precise variant and current datasheet; voltage, monitoring and environmental limits can vary between versions.
| Charge current | 50 A |
| Max PV input | 100 V |
| Battery voltage | 12/24 V auto |
| Monitoring | Bluetooth |
Suitable boat applications
Arrays from 500 W to about 700 W at 12 V.
Compatibility limits to check
You have 200 W on a trailer sailer and would be paying for headroom you never reach.
For how to size this against your own boat rather than against a spec sheet, read mppt solar controllers.
Sized for your boat
32 A
Charge current for a 400 Ah bank with 400 W of solar
Worked from the loads you have set in the calculator. Change the boat and this figure changes with it.

Before choosing Victron 50 A
Solar array voltage and MPPT controller compatibility
A solar controller must suit the panel arrangement and the battery system. Ask the installer to check maximum input voltage under the expected conditions, current limits and protective devices. Record shading and daily yield before assuming a larger controller will produce more energy. A battery already near full can also limit observed charging output.
Confirm specifications against the exact model and revision offered by the supplier. A listed price band is a planning reference; request a current written quote with installation and commissioning separated from equipment supply.
