    Download the Victron Bluetooth app
    Use a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device to
    - customize settings
    - monitor all important data on single screen
    - view historical data
    - update the software when new features become available

     

    Easy to install
    All electrical connections are to the quick-connect PCB on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included: RJ 12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m); no other components needed. Also included are a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting.

     

    Optional temperature sensor
    There is an optional temperature sensor which will be wired from the battery to the shunt or you can use the Battery Sense and it will transmit the dat via bluetooth to the BMV-712 and your MPPT SmartSolar controller.

     

    Midpoint voltage monitoring
    One bad cell or one bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage. Please see the BMV manual, section 5.2, for more information.

     

    Very low current draw from the battery
    Current consumption: 0.7Ah per month (1mA) @12V and 0.6Ah per month (0.8mA) @ 24V
    Li-ion batteries have virtually no capacity left when discharged until low voltage shutdown. After shutdown due to low cell voltage, the capacity reserve of a Li-ion battery is approximately 1Ah per 100Ah battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining capacity reserve is drawn from the battery. A residual current of 10mA for example may damage a 200Ah battery if the system is left in discharged state for more than 8 days.

     

    Bi-stable alarm relay
    Prevents increased current draw in case of an alarm


    Other features
    - Battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed and state of charge
    - Remaining time at the current rate of discharge
    - Programmable visual and audible alarm
    - Programmable relay, to turn off non critical loads or to run a generator when needed
    - 500 Amp quick connect shunt and connection kit
    - Shunt selection capability up to 10.000 Amps
    - VE.Direct communication port
    - Stores a wide range of historical events, which can be used to evaluate usage patterns and battery health
    - Wide input voltage range: 9.5 – 95V
    - High current measurement resolution: 10 mA (0.01A)
    - Additional input to measure voltage (of a second battery), temperature or midpoint voltage, and corresponding alarm and relay settings.

I can now cruise in comfort 8 months of the year!

I was satisfied with the solar panel system I purchased from Sun Powered Yachts. Lyall provided great advice and the systems included cabling, connectors, controllers, and circuit breakers plus guidance for the DIY installer.  I also added 12V air conditioning, new lithium and a 12V watermaker.

 

I can confidently say the installed systems are up to the task and I can now cruise in comfort eight months of the year.

Our gen run time has
been cut nearly 50%

The solar is working out great! Yesterday in the Exumas I saw 39A @24vdc from the 3x410W panels.  Each panel was around 400 Watts which really exceeded my expectations.  Our gen run time has been cut nearly 50% and the peace of mind leaving the boat at anchor for day trips is priceless.  Thanks again for all your help with our system.

On sunny days I
can make a lot of ice!

I've done two solar projects with Lyall at Sun Powered Yachts on the same boat. The first was with 2x flexible panels mounted on the Bimini with a total of about 340Watts.  The second was 3x 410Watt fixed frame panels, with all the charge controllers, circuit breakers and accessories needed. Lyall helped me design and pick all the parts and pieces to get that all working.

SunPower 170W E-flex solar panels

So now I generally

don't bother hooking

up to shore power!

Thanks for all the help in planning my solar project for my boat. The two 170W flexible panels fit well on my Bimini and now I generally don't bother hooking up to shore power.  Although I haven’t had any long trips since my installation I have done a few day trips. And even with fridge, radio, plotters, autopilot and occasional radar it seems that these panels are keeping up with my usage. I did add some stiffener material to the back of the panels and attached the panels with zippers and they have survived a few 30 knot days and one night with winds gusting well over 55 knots. No damage at all and no signs of flexing problems. 

The advice and service has been great.  Thanks again.

high efficiency flexible solar panels

It made my project

work, thank you

Lyall and Katie are so knowledgeable.  I tried this project with a lesser quality panel and the project failed because it wasn't efficient enough. The SunPower® Maxeon Gen III cells are compact and simply kick out more Volts/Current than all the others on the market today.   And by using the SunPower® panel, everything was smooth and efficient.  I love my new 170W 29V 5.83A panel!!  It made my project work.   Thanks Lyall for all your knowledge in making this work.

Terrific customer service, patient, always responsive

The process of researching a solar solution for my Beneteau 41 was simplified & clearly understood once I discovered Sun Powered Yachts.  Terrific customer service, patient, always responsive with guidance and products that just work. Being a novice at setting up a solar system, I had many questions along the way, and the team at Sun Powered Yachts were always there to answers my questions and provide support.
