It is worth spending the extra money and get the bluetooth version. Victron Smart MPPT 100/20 With our discount code this would cost £130.30 from Onboard Energy. You could go with a 15 amp version which would save you £32 200 / 12.8 = 15.6 amps Victron Smart MPPT 75/15 With our discount code this would cost £98.170 from Onboard Energy. Ask any Victron MPPT controller owner if they would would recommend them and I think you will find the answer is yes.

That's the one that I'm using but I will probably go with Victron when I get my next van if everything I've read about them is true. Regards, Del
