215W Victron Energy Premium Solar Charging Kit - 12V (Expandable to 430W)

Upgrade your off‑grid or backup power system with this premium 215W Victron solar charging kit, designed for reliable year‑round battery charging in homes, campervans, boats and small commercial installations. Featuring a high‑efficiency Victron monocrystalline panel and SmartSolar MPPT controller with Bluetooth, this kit delivers more usable energy from the same roof space while protecting and extending the life of your battery bank.

Product Overview

This 215W Victron Premium Solar Charging Kit combines a 215W 24V monocrystalline panel with a 30A SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 charge controller, pre‑terminated solar cables and a heavy‑duty fused battery harness for fast, tidy installation. The MPPT controller can safely manage up to 440W on a 12V system, allowing you to easily expand to 430W by adding a second matching panel in series in the future.

Key Features

• Premium Victron 215W monocrystalline solar panel for high efficiency and excellent low‑light performance, helping maintain charging even on overcast UK days.
  
• SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 charge controller with ultra‑fast tracking to maximise energy harvest and support both 12V and 24V battery banks.
  
• Expandable system: controller rated for up to 440W at 12V (or 880W at 24V), so you can add a second 215W panel later without changing electronics.
  
• Integrated Bluetooth for real‑time monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app on smartphones and tablets, reducing the need for separate displays.
  
• Robust protection including reverse polarity, PV short‑circuit, battery short‑circuit, over‑temperature and adaptive temperature‑compensated charging for longer battery life.
  
• Compact panel footprint (1580 x 705 mm) ideal for roofs with limited space on homes, campervans, motorhomes or boat cabins.
  
• High‑transmission tempered glass, anodised aluminium frame and sealed junction box for durability in harsh outdoor environments.
  
• Supplied with 3 m MC4 solar leads and a 1.5 m, 16 mm² fused battery harness for a neat, straightforward wiring run between panel, controller and batteries.
  
• Backed by Victron’s long‑term performance warranty on panels and a 5‑year warranty on electronics for added peace of mind.
  

Why Buy This Kit

• Buy‑once quality: Victron is a globally recognised brand used by professionals in marine, automotive and off‑grid systems, helping ensure dependable operation for years.
  
• Higher real‑world yield: MPPT technology and excellent low‑light performance mean more charge from the same roof area compared to many lower‑cost alternatives.
  
• Battery care built‑in: intelligent multi‑stage charging and temperature compensation support healthier batteries, reducing sulphation and extending replacement intervals.
  
• Ready for expansion: start with 215W and easily scale up towards 430–440W without replacing the charge controller, protecting your initial investment.
  
• Easy monitoring: Bluetooth connectivity allows you to track solar yield, battery voltage and historical data, ideal for both homeowners and installers handing systems over to clients.
  

Suitable For

• Home off‑grid, backup and garden office systems using 12V or 24V battery banks where reliable daytime charging is required.
  
• Campervans, motorhomes, caravans and overland vehicles needing dependable solar to run lighting, fridges, pumps and device charging.
  
• Boats, narrowboats and marine applications where space is limited and vibration‑resistant, corrosion‑resistant equipment is essential.
  
• Work vans, welfare cabins, tool chargers and small site systems for trade professionals who require low‑maintenance, silent power on the job.
  
• Remote sheds, stables, security systems, telecoms or monitoring equipment needing autonomous power without grid connection.
  

What’s Included

• One 215W Victron monocrystalline solar panel (approx. 24V nominal).
  
• Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30, 30A solar charge controller with Bluetooth.
  
• Pair of 3 m solar cables with MC4 connectors for panel‑to‑controller connection.
