I was in a similar situation when I upgraded my solar a few months ago. I found an Outback controller for $300 less than Victron. I went with the Outback and I am happy with it. Many recommended the Victron and it has some nice features but not worth the extra $$ for me.

GlennWest Posted August 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 The only noticeable diff in use would be the fan on them. Victron I believe doesn't have one.

jcussen Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Have two Victron solar controllers, really like the bluetooth, am sick of running wires, Nice to open app on phone and adjusting and reading values. Had a shading issue from trees the other day, got a long pole and moved the branches aside and could see the difference, knew which ones to trim.

Randyretired Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 The Outback we have has a fan and some complaints can be found on the internet. I put ours in the front storage compartment and the only time I hear it is when I am retrieving things from that cabinet. It is a not an issue for us but our system is only 1260 watts. We have been boondocking most of the summer in the mountains of Colorado. Rarely do we need air conditioning so our generator usage is minimal. Maybe a few minutes up to an hour a week.

hemsteadc Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Bluetooth connectivity is pretty cool. Get that. I wish my Outback inverter had that. Edited August 5, 2019 by hemsteadc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
