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
