Victron Energy SHS 200 12V 14A MPPT Solar Charge Controller & DC Power System with MC4 SHS121409230

Victron Energy SHS 200 12V 14A MPPT Solar Charge Controller & DC Power System with MC4 SHS121409230 The Victron Energy SHS121409230 SHS 200 MPPT v3.0 MC4 is a smart 12V solar charge controller and DC power distribution system designed for off-grid solar home systems. It combines MPPT solar charging, intelligent battery management, multiple DC load outputs, USB charging, an LCD interface, and PAYGo functionality in a single integrated controller. Designed for solar arrays up to 200Wp, the SHS 200 uses Maximum Power Point Tracking to improve solar-energy harvest compared with PWM charging. The MC4 version provides dedicated positive and negative PV leads terminated with MC4 connectors for straightforward connection to compatible PV modules. Key Technology 200W MPPT Solar Charging Supports up to 200Wp total nominal PV power. Victron states that Maximum Power Point Tracking can improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared with PWM charge controllers. 12V Solar Home System Designed around a 12V battery system and intended to combine solar charging with direct distribution of power to compatible 12V DC appliances. MC4 PV Connection The MC4 version uses dedicated positive and negative PV leads terminated with MC4 connectors, simplifying connection to compatible solar modules. Smart Multi-Stage Battery Charging Intelligent multi-stage charging manages the connected battery, while automatic load disconnect helps protect against excessive battery discharge. Automatic Temperature Compensation An internal temperature sensor automatically compensates charging voltage according to temperature for more appropriate battery charging. Lead-Acid & Lithium Compatibility Supports compatible sealed lead-acid and lithium batteries, with suitable battery capacity specified up to 160Ah. Integrated DC Power Distribution The SHS 200 provides multiple USB and standard 12V DC outputs for powering compatible appliances and accessories directly from the solar home system. 10 USB Type-A Ports Provides ten USB Type-A charging outputs with an overall maximum current of 10A across all ports and an individual maximum of 1.5A per port. The USB outputs comply with USB Battery Charging 1.2. Five Standard 12V DC Outputs Provides five standard DC outputs with different current capacities for compatible lighting, electronics, refrigeration, fans, and other DC loads. LCD Screen & Keypad The integrated LCD can display usage statistics, battery state of charge, and diagnostic information. The interface supports English, French, and Swahili. PAYGo Enabled Supports offline Pay-as-you-go operation through keypad activation, allowing the system to be unlocked using recharge codes supplied to the end user. OpenPAYGO Token Technology Uses the OpenPAYGO token system and is listed as compatible with PaygOps, Angaza, and Paygee PAYGo platforms. Best Uses Off-Grid Solar Home Systems Designed for standalone solar installations that use PV modules and battery storage to provide 12V DC electricity where conventional grid service is unavailable or impractical. DC Lighting Systems Multiple DC outputs make the controller suitable for compatible LED lighting and other low-voltage household loads. Mobile Device Charging Integrated USB outputs allow compatible phones and other USB-powered equipment to be charged directly from the solar home system. DC Appliance Systems Suitable for properly sized systems supplying compatible DC televisions, refrigerators, fans, radios, sound systems, and similar equipment. Victron specifically identifies these types of loads as SHS 200 applications. PAYGo Solar Programs Designed for solar-energy programs using prepaid or pay-as-you-go access models where customers activate system usage through keypad-entered tokens. Remote & Rural Electrification Provides an integrated approach to solar charging, battery management, and DC distribution for locations requiring a compact standalone electricity solution.
