MPPT Solar Controllers

Optimise your camper van solar setup with high-performance MPPT solar charge controllers from Wired Campers, designed to maximise energy efficiency and ensure reliable battery charging in off-grid electrical systems. These advanced controllers are an essential component for any camper van solar installation, helping you get the most out of your solar panels while protecting and extending the life of your leisure battery.

MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar controllers are far more efficient than traditional PWM controllers, intelligently adjusting voltage and current to extract the maximum possible power from your solar panels. This results in faster charging, improved performance in low-light conditions and increased overall energy yield—making them ideal for camper van use in varied UK weather conditions.

The Wired Campers range includes industry-leading Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT controllers, available in multiple sizes such as 75/15, 100/20 and 100/30 models. These controllers are suitable for both 12V and 24V systems and can support a wide range of solar panel setups, from small 100W installations to larger multi-panel arrays.

Many Victron SmartSolar models feature built-in Bluetooth, allowing you to monitor your solar performance in real time via your smartphone. You can track charging status, battery voltage and system performance, giving you full control over your camper van electrical system. These controllers also include intelligent charging algorithms to protect battery health and optimise charging cycles for lithium, AGM and lead-acid batteries.

For more budget-friendly setups, brands like EPEVER offer reliable MPPT controllers with excellent performance and value, making them a popular choice for DIY camper van conversions. Higher amperage models (20A, 30A, 40A+) are ideal for larger solar arrays and high-demand systems, while smaller units are perfect for compact builds and weekend vans.

Designed for easy installation and seamless integration, MPPT solar controllers work alongside solar panels, fuse protection and battery systems to create a complete off-grid power solution. Whether you’re running lighting, fridges, water pumps or inverters, these controllers ensure your system runs efficiently and safely.
